Start your Day Right

How incredibly blessed we are that every day is a new day. 

You choose what each day means to you, what you're going to do with it and how you're going to handle it. Starting your day out right is about setting your intention. You decide how you feel everyday and what you are going to accomplish. If you do not make the conscious and physical effort to tell yourself what you want, then you are letting your subconscious mind decide and do what it has been programmed and trained to do. 

The fist few moments in the morning are so precious. You're in an altered state. Your subconscious mind is open to suggestion. And, if you are aware, you'll hear those subconscious thoughts as you start to wake up or as the sleepy fog begins to lift. 

If you have the wherewithal, say nice things to yourself in this state. 

Before you start your day, try to carve out (just) 10 or 15 minutes to write out what you'd like for the day.

Getting your head right before you start your day, sets your entire day up to be the way you want it. This is your day. You create it. You change it. You live it and you control your reactions to it.

Getting your mind where you want it to be every day will change your whole world. Yes, you need to do it everyday. Yes, it gets easier. And, yes, you can find the time. If it's important to you, you'll find away. There are more ways to get things done than there excuses to why we can't. 

Taking control of your day is one of the kindest, most empowering things you can do for yourself and it only takes a few minutes each day.

We all don't have time first thing in the morning to relax and think or even have time for ourselves. If you're rushed  in the morning or if your home is full of life early, do the exercises before bed or the day before (whenever you have a few minutes alone). You can reread what you've written before you start your day.

Set your intention for today.

You may find that you like to write a paragraph, a list of goals or create your own affirmation. You may find that each day is different or that you snuggle into a habit that fits you perfectly and is exactly the same everyday. Whatever you do, it's great. You're doing it and that's the point. You're telling yourself that you are serious and this is what you want for the day. It sets it up in your mind as a high priority, even if you never think about it until tomorrow morning when you're writing out your intention.

When you make this a regular part of your life, you'll find that you get more done, accomplish your goals easier and are calmer and more relaxed inside. You naturally become more in-tune with yourself because you are paying attention to yourself, you are attending to your needs and you are being very clear about what you're expecting from yourself.

When you're first starting, you want to try this different ways; you want to find what works best for you. If this seems overwhelming, use just one or two sentences and follow these simple rules:

• be clear and concise
• be specific (with what you want to accomplish)
• use the present tense
• be realistic

~ I live a spiritual life.

~ I make healthy choices for myself and my family today.

~ Today I act on the messages I receive.

~ I handle everything at work today with patience and grace.

~ I get everything done on my to do list easily

~ I choose to be fully engaged in all of my tasks today.

~ I focus on appreciating ___________ today.

As you continue this exercise (every day) you'll be surprised how much more you are enjoying your life, staying present and improving your relationships.

As simple as this may seem, the impact is huge. You'll reap the rewards of doing this regularly. You'll begin to look forward to it and trust that it works and be able to observe the impact it has had on your life.

Happy Independence Day, America!

The 4th of July is a celebration of our independence, those that have fought for it and our great and deep appreciation of all the service men and women that have served to keep her free. We honor our Forefathers and remember and enjoy our freedoms. We celebrate the 4th of July with fireworks, parties and parades. We spend it with our family and friends. We look forward to it all year long. It's America's Birthday.

Thought for the Day and Evening

Use today (this evening) to think about and meditate on what sacrifices are made to claim and create independence and freedom. You may want to think about it on a large scale (a country) or on a smaller, more personal scale. Spend time in appreciation of what others have done to pave the way for you in your life and revel in gratitude.

Writing Exercises

~ Take some time to define what  independence and freedom mean to you (as a definition) and in your life. You need to know how you think and feel about something if you want to create more of it, get rid of it or change it. (The first step is always knowing how you feel and think about something.) Being clear about independence and freedom in yourself and your life increases your ability to bring what you want into fruition and eliminate what you don't.
~ A wonderful exercise is to make a list to remind you of all of the freedoms you enjoy in your life. You could list your possibilities, your dreams, your hopes. Be as detailed as you like. Take as much time as you are comfortable with. 
~ A wish list would be a fabulous exercise for today.
~ If there's something you want to be free of ~ today is a great day to contemplate it.
~ If you have a journal, use today as an entry focusing on independence. You could take any angle that you'd like; what you have, what you'd like to have or what you wished you have. 

Contemplation Exercise before Bed

Before going to sleep tonight, spend a few minutes to review everything that you are grateful for in your life. Think about your choices and the joy that you have choices in your life. Even the smallest choice can be a huge gift. Where ever you find yourself in the world, whatever state you find yourself in life ~ feel the deep connection to Spirit that you have and the miraculous feeling of free will. You always have more options than you realize. Use today to tune into that Higher Part of you, feel  the connection you have with the past and the hope that moves you into the future. Every moment, each thought ~ every day is a new day. Every new day brings gifts of opportunity.
