Awaken Your Day - July 14, 2017 - Make A Change

I went down a path this morning. Saw something that set me off, shook my head, and brought about a long train of connected aggitated thoughts all related to my physical environment.
And the challenge presented itself.

When you encounter a challenge that requests you spend alot of time building resentment, repeating negative details that will not make sense no matter how many times you tell them, stirring up your anger .... these challenges eat away at more than just your present mood. Time. Wasted time ...eaten away and leaving a void in your head and your emotional energy accounts.

Today the trigger was part of my physical environment. The first path to realign successful control of my time and energy is to change my physical environment ... but when that is not an immediate option ... the foundational path is to always change my focus. There is no reason to focus on the negative moment and let it distract me from seeing the rest of my day or my surroundings and the value that is yet to be discovered.

So with that ... I make an adjustment, Awaken My Day on a new page ... and rework the Challenge to something constructive. Because I am aware of the consequences.

See the challenges for what they are before they absorb all that you are in that moment.

 Good morning, Greater day. Greater You ... sometimes having to try a little harder, but finding a way.

Awaken Your Day – July 13, 2017 – Be the Bigger You

“Dream big, think big, plan big – and listen to the people who build you up and move you forward.”
- John Addison

Multiple actions in one. First allow yourself the freedom to believe in Bigger goals. Second, consider those in your life that support you in that belief and really absorb how that support makes you feel. And finally, ask yourself one simple question … “Why would I choose to listen to speculating, skeptical doubt versus motivating open minded belief support?”

Go ahead. Be the Bigger You.

Good morning, Greater Day. Greater You – Yes, you really can be.

Awaken Your Day - July 12, 2017 - One Small Step

"You'll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. "
- John C. Maxwell

Does that make sense?
Does it sink in?
Did you take a moment to bounce it around?

Consider a change or growth step you desire - and why you might not be getting there. What can you adjust today to apply more in that direction? ( bonus points - actually doing this exercise is a step in the right direction)

For example - I spend too much time daily on little things and thus always have "a lot" to do. But where I need to change is in applying priorities. Focus on the big ticket goal and I see a lot of the other stuff falls in line when I do - otherwise I'm too busy on the clutter.

Your daily routine - where do you see one small change that can be one giant leap in your sense of progress?

Good morning, greater Day. Greater You - open minded for change.

Awaken Your Day - July 4, 2017 - Celebrate

While friends and family celebrate a U.S. holiday - let's take it one step further. Why don't we all simply be inspired by what WE have achieved up to today.
 
Think of a day in your life that changed things. Sent you down the path you are on now. Changed your Course. Changed your fate.

I met my wife in 1996 - that day would prove to be significant obviously for the rest of my life now. But there was a December day, in 2002, when the phone rang. I said, "Hello" and unexpectedly it was her voice. And from that moment, I have reason to Celebrate every day.

Positive Reflection helps us value and build the moments we live now. Use the tools your glorious life has give you. Celebrate.

Good morning, Greater Day. Greater You - created all along the way.
