Each Day … Begin Again

It seems like an old cliche … each day is a new beginning, but it is true. At the end of each day, I look back over what I have done or not done. In the past, I have been disappointed in myself or felt defeated. I knew that I could do more, accomplish more, or be happier. I took that on as where I will be for the next week.

It has taken years to figure out that one day alone does not define who I am or who I should be. Although I believe that actions speak louder than words, I also know that I can start taking action at any moment in time. I have have to remember this because it does not come easy. It takes a conscious effort to keep focused on the positive.

Self-talk is so important to where and how I interact with other people, as well as how I face my daily decisions. If I wake up in the mornings and begin with the negative.. that is where my head will stay the rest of the day. So, how do I change that attitude? I breath, take a minute or even a second to refocus my energy. It doesn’t take long, but it takes intent. Intent to change, making me feel better and I will be rewarded with looking at my life as a journey or a path to feel better about myself and others.

That is what life is about… feeling good about myself and every else. Try it… let me know how it works.
