New Day
Realize that every day is truly a new day. We can wake up refreshed and ready to face our own personal challenges with a new perspective. This has truly helped me in the past year, when I’ve had many new changes in my life: divorce, losing my home, moving with my children, and an upcoming custody dispute.
I have to realize that every day has hope, light at the end of the tunnel, and is a new opportunity for me to shine and work on myself and the plan that God has in store for me.
Now, I’m not saying I don’t have bad days, but I do look at every day as new. I spend a few minutes every morning stretching, praying, or preparing myself for the upcoming day. This makes me feel more prepared and relaxed. I can more openly explore the days needs and those of myself and my children. This time is a valuable resource to me that I thrive on.
There is something good in every day if you allow it. Try journaling your thoughts to test this theory out and see what you can come up with that is good. I promised myself for my New Year’s resolution that I was going to be more honest with myself, that I wasn’t going to hide behind my upsets and sensitive feelings.
Realizing every day can provide a fresh start was so helpful for me, and allowed me to remain focused on my posiitve thoughts, my agenda as a whole, and prepared me to spiritually be more open and receptive.
You try. Tell me what you think of this challenge.
