Ever had a day where everything seemed to go wrong. You woke up overwhelmed thinking about all the things you had to do. You couldn’t find what you needed. Your family was crabby. You got out the door late.
Then, it seemed like the whole day followed suit. Too many demands and not enough time. People are so irritating and upsetting and it seems like it just wasn’t meant for you to have a good day.
On days like this, it can be hard to see the good in our life!
Here’s a mental technique you can use to turn your day around.
POSITIVE FOCUS
Think of one great thing (no matter how small)
“My hair actually turned out pretty good today!”
“My car worked and got me to where I needed to go.”
“At least I had a family to be crabby.”
“I have legs and arms that work” (some people don’t)
Sometimes if it’s a really hard day, it can be hard to get the ball rolling, BUT, with each SMALL ITEM you think of to be GRATEFUL for, you start to have a COMPOUND effect. As you switch your FOCUS to gratitude, you will start to feel better and think of even MORE to be grateful for!
It’s a SIMPLE, EASY technique to turn your feelings around!!
We frequently take the small things for granted, yet research shows that being able to acknowledge and appreciate the small things in life are one of the SECRETS of HAPPY, SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE.
Focusing on all you have to be grateful for will SHIFT your ENERGY back to a POSITIVE place!
If you’re upset with someone, make a list of all the qualities you like about that person. It will calm you down and balance your emotions.
It will make you feel more optimistic, and when you feel more optimistic, you will feel better and your day will go better!!
It will set up your energy for greater success and help you get through a TOUGH day.
