“Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results”
Willie Nelson
Every single morning when you wake up and your feet hit the floor, feel good about yourself. The best thing to do at that moment is to be thankful to God for everything He has blessed you with. Thank Him for a great day, for health, for your parents, for your family, for your wife, for your kids, for your job, for your business, for your friends…. For everything.
The biggest motivation will not come to you from anyone else but yourself.
When you wake up in the morning, be extremely careful about what you think in the first hour. Whatever your brain processes in the first 60 minutes at the start of your day, will define your attitude during the whole day. Therefore, if you allow your brain to process negative information at the start of the day, you better gear up for a grumpy day ahead. However, if you start your day with a positive thought, you will have a positive attitude during the whole day.
Many people amongst us wake up in the morning and start thinking about their previous day’s mishaps, mistakes, blunders, or people they don’t like and get along with. If they had any argument with somebody the previous day, they start thinking about what should have been done by their side as a response or what steps could have made their previous day better.
There is a very subtle but very important thing that very few people can realize.
Yesterday is history, it cannot be changed. Today is in your hands so you should never let your past screw your “present”. And tomorrow is still about to come. You should focus on your present and try to make it as productive, progressive, beautiful, and joyful as possible. Only in this way you may be able to have a better tomorrow.
5 Simple Ways to Start Your Day with A Positive Attitude
- Wake up with gratitude
Thank God for everything you have been blessed with because if you are happy with what you have, you will have a more productive and progressive day.
- Give your body what it deserves
When you wake up in the morning, you are just like a smart phone that has restarted. It’s fresh and fast with no extra apps opened. Utilize it to the fullest by charging your battery. In short, go for a run, hit the gym, or exercise and feel fresh!
- Tell yourself that you will have the best day of your life today
Sounds foolish doesn’t it? But people have no idea about the significant effect this one sentence has when you say it by looking at yourself in the mirror. Most of the high achievers quote this as a tip to succeed.
- Select all the negative thoughts your brain has, delete them, and empty the recycle bin of your brain
Your brain is like a computer. When you will start this activity, you will encounter negativity as your brain has become habitual of bringing in the negativity. For this, you must do exactly what you do with unnecessary and non-required files in your computer.
- Listen to some positive music on your way to work
Music is the language of the soul. If you start your day with gloomy music or something that is very mellow, you might ruin your mood. Listen to something that makes your body move to its beat. Let the energy flow within you!
