Well. Another day in our lives. How are we going to make the most of it.

We could go. Well its was really hard to get up this morning because it was dark and rainy. The weather this time of year is so bad. Oh and the Summer was rubbish to.

Dog didn't get a walk as it was raining. Hard to get the kids up to. Gives me another job taking them to school. etc etc.

We can think all these and more or we can say it out loud. When we do either we are adding to the doom and gloom. If we are luck enough to find someone to listen we can say it again. This may even add more insult to injury as the listener then becomes involved with your doom and gloom and adds some of theirs to.

What's going on here? Why does this happen and what does it do to us?

We can start doing something else that will help. Even if it seem false and/or fake. If you are finding hard to shake of the doom and gloom or you have found that you are grumbling. any other words in or outside your head that are not getting you anywhere you may like to try this.

Decide how you are going to start the day. Practice what you are going to say. Even if it feel strange. I found this very very helpful when my children were young. When I was up most of the night for one reason or another. I decided that I had to start the day in a happy mood as it helped with the reaction of me and the babies. I used to up that smile on my face (Even if it was fake) Go into their rooms and say "Good Morning ******. How are you this wonderful morning".

This may seem strange as I had been up most of the night feeling a little frayed round the edges. However it helps.

So your mission if you are willing to accept. If you are finding it hard to feel good with the world and yourself find something that you would like to say to you in the morning. Ie "what a great day" or "Im going to have an amazing day today" or something like this. Remember to do this with a Smile on your face. May seem strange but why not. It will help and its free.

Go for it. Have fun with it. Let me know how you are getting on. theresa@icanachieve.co.uk. Love to hear from you.
