Get This Day Going Right!!!
Your daily dose of Motivation from your favorite morning motivator
I wanna make this the best day possible and so should you, after all, it’s up to you what kind of day it will be.
Be the Master of Your Fate
If you are not consciously visualizing and mentally creating your day then you are doing it unconsciously. You are the person creating your reality. This is what Free-Will is, the ability to choose your path, and this is what we do.
They say the average person makes about 6,000 decisions a day. How many of those are conscious? You can affect the unconscious by training the conscious mind.
If you are deliberate in your choices then your brain will get on board and begin to make similar choices when there is no outward or conscious thought.
For example, if you are a regular person that, like myself, likes to eat your feelings, then you must re-train your mind by deflecting those cravings to new areas of satiation. For myself, I am trying to redirect my “cravings” for food into cravings to exercise.
I tell myself that food may taste better but the exercise will make me feel better and it is working. I don’t stuff my face with sugar and empty carbs when I have negative feelings anymore.
I don’t hate myself anymore, so I don’t accept negative talk or temptation anymore. I am still going through a sugar withdrawal phase that sucks, but it’s getting better. Now when I want to come home and have an energy drink and a Hostess fruit pie, I have a Kombucha and a salad.
Not quite the same but still delicious.
Be the Captain of Your Soul
The time has come to take responsibility for your life. Start living on purpose, with intention and drive.
Visualize & Attack!!!
Do you have a vision board? Why not? You can go on Canva and make a collage and print it, you don’t even have to cut pictures out of magazines anymore.
Do you have a morning meditation practice? If you don’t have 20 minutes to meditate in the morning before you begin your day then you are doing it wrong.
Not meditation, life. If you don’t take care of yourself no one else will. You have to do the work, you have to put in the effort. If you don’t think you’re worth it who else will?
There’s a saying that goes something like this…
“Faith can move mountains, but you better bring a shovel.”
I love this phrase, because God, the Universe, Higher Conscious, Highest Self, whatever you wanna call it, wants to help you succeed, whatever success looks like to you. The keyword in that sentence is help.
“The Lord helps those who help themselves”
This is a similar saying. It’s not the secret knowledge of the Sages, it’s common sense. The problem is that as a society we have decided to let others think for us.
We choose not to use critical thinking because we have talking heads on media outlets telling us what to think, what to wear, what to eat, what to watch, who to love, who to hate, the list goes on, ad infinitum.
If this is not you and you just stopped by for some morning motivation then you know the struggle with which I speak because you are an awakened Soul. Use a part of your daily routine, if you do not already, and send a warm embrace, a prayer or just a kind thought to those who are still finding their way.
I pray for us all as I am far from perfect in my practice. Perfection is not a destination or a goal for me, rather I seek progress. The only bar that is set for me is the one I set for myself the day before.
Thank you for reading and here is your motivational poem for the day…
Sunshine In This World of Storms
Trust in yourself to know the Way
Honor the process healing requires
Uncertainty will try to cloud your judgment
Refuse to allow doubt space in your head
Strive for greatness in all of your endeavors
Dance through life to the beat your own drum
Aligning with the forces and power of the Divine
Youthfulness wanes as Wisdom waxes
Sunlight from your Soul illuminates the world.
Go forth and be joyous, commit a random act of kindness, give a stranger a hug. Go live your life with the Vigor and Gusto it deserves.
You’ve been given a life worth dying for, what are you doing with it?
As always my Spiritual Warriors, be well…
~Namaste
