Have you ever noticed what thoughts are running through your mind right when you wake up?
On purpose I try to think of at least one thing to be grateful for, and say it out loud before I put my feet on the floor.
Sometimes it’s just simple things, like “I’m grateful I woke up and have breath”.
The more I practice gratitude, I find the more I am grateful for.
Self care is the same. I have found the more I encourage myself, the smaller the negative voice in my head becomes. A simple, “you can do this” can mean the difference between going forward and falling back.
So let me encourage you too! You are Strong, Smart, and you Can Do This! Now, go get em. 😁
Happy Friday!
I’m trying my best not to think ‘crap, it’s work again’ after my alarm shocks me out of my slumber.
I wake up easy and usually before the alarm. It’s got to be difficult if you are shocked awake!
In addition to my chronic bed head😄
Love this! I’m literally reading this in bed so it’s a perfect way to wake up. And it’s so true. The way we wake up and think can affect our day.
It takes a lot of practice to get that first thought going in the right direction!
It sure does but it’s worth the effort.
Oh my, I had to smile! I read this post after I read the one from today, Monday. Just what I was thinking, too! Thanks for knowing what I needed to hear.
Reminds me of what Abilene had the little girl repeat in “The Help” and an Al Franken (boy, do I miss him) character (looked it up and it’s “Daily Affirmations with Stuart Smiley” on SNL.
