This is my mantra today. I'm having a little bit of trouble with my 90% of the deal.
But I know that when I'm in bed for the night, and I look back on this day that I'm about to embark on right now, I won't remember specific things that happened throughout the day. Some, yes, but mostly not.
What I'll take with me was the overall tone that my day took on. And the overall tone of my day will be determined by how I'm reacting, and the feelings and thoughts that I nurture throughout it.
I will move through my day nurturing good thoughts and blessing everyone around me. I will share the best part of me because that's the part I want to remember when I contemplate my day, later.
There's something to be said for beginning a new day by contemplating how you want to feel about your day at the end of the day.
Close your eyes and imagine you're in bed for the night. How do you want to feel?
I imagine being tired and near sleep as soon as I lay down. It's been a fantastic and productive day for me, and I'm rightfully tired. I drift off to sleep sending blessings out to all my loved ones, smiling happily to myself.
Now, off I go to shape my day into whatever will make me feel like that later. I will hold my tongue, and just go where the Spirit moves me.
