Creating Your Day

It’s how you start the day that determines how you end your day!

We all want to have successful days; we want everything we are involved in to prosper. It’s something we want, but don’t always know how to get. We seek advice and don’t get SOULutions™ leaving us even more frustrated. This causes us to fall into a rut and become stagnant, but we can change this we’ve just got to put in the work…

As I’ve gone through school, as a wife, raised teenage boys, and counseled many, I’ve learned that the mind is where everything begins. It’s the place where our thoughts, our will, our emotions are stored. It’s a place where good and evil fight to control because they BOTH know the power it has over the rest of the body. It’s the arena of life; it’s a battlefield and as we learn to take control of our minds and give into good we can be victorious.

How you begin your day is vital. It’s what gets your gears going. Start out grumpy, you’ll carry that feeling and you will begin to project it onto your performance; start your day out positive, you’ll project and receive positive. It’s really up to you. We have to renew our minds by replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. Yes, it’s work, but it’s worth it. Start your day how you want it to be! When you wake up in the mornings start pumping yourself up; be your own cheer team.

Create a regiment of your time, start by giving yourself some quiet time to meditate on your goals. Once you’ve done that you’ve got to fill your mind with quick positive ENCOURAGING statements. To get you started I have included a poem below, that I rewrote. I had my boys say it every morning before they started their day. It made a difference in how they behaved in school and at home. They began to believe in their abilities and still repeat it every morning till this day.

-What you think you are-

If you think you are beaten you are
If you think you dare not you won’t
If you’d like to win but don’t think that you can’t
It’s almost a cinch you won’t

If you think that you’ll lose you’ve lost
For out in the world we find success begins with a persons will
It’s all in the state of mind

If you think you’re out classed you are
You’ve got to think higher to rise
You’ve got to be sure and confident in yourself
To win Your Prize

Think Big and your deeds will grow
Think small and you’ll fall behind
Think that you can and you will
It’s all in your state of mind

Life’s battles won’t always go to the fastest or even strongest man
Because sooner or later the man who eventually wins will be the one who
Thought he could
