Waking up each day is such a wonderful blessing that I have absolute NO control over and give thanks to God for. Even though my days may seem super routine it isn’t. There is always something different and challenging in my day. It would really be a drag if I brought yesterday’s troubles into today. Unfortunately I have done this more times than I can count.
The overall feeling of carrying a heavy load of emotional and mental baggage can cause so much damage that it can even end in death. This is no way to live. In my experience it takes a major toll on me mentally and spiritually. I’ve learned how much my spirit needs to be in good standing and in alignment with my beliefs. The best thing that I can do for the people who love me is to take care of myself. That means physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. By taking control in these areas of my life it will inevitably help me.
I thought that if I did certain things it would help my overall mental and physical state and a lot of time my methods worked but it left me feeling empty. This time around I’ve decided to reset, restart and refresh my life. I’m not going backwards I’m pressing forward. I want the life that I am destined to have. So every day that I wake up to new mercies it is another chance to hit the reset button. A chance to love more, laugh, try new things, run a little further and be a positive light to those around me.
Somethings that I like to do to get me going:
- Pray
- Listen to Motivational speeches/ sermons
- Play up-tempo music
- Drink water
- Exercise (stretching and walking)
- Be in the sun
Is it time for you to hit the reset, restart and refresh button in your life?
