MONDAY’S CUP OF MOTIVATION

MONDAY’S CUP OF MOTIVATION

There is so much negativity in the world.  It is all around us.  We see it on the news and we believe that it is the way things are.  Negativity simply allows us to thing that we are better than the person who is worse off.  What a terrible way to live.  Let’s change this mindset and let’s focus on something that will truly change our lives for the better.  It is caught within us.  It is free beyond us. It is all around waiting for us.  It is Positive Energy.   Life is so much better when we are positive.  Things just flow and become easier when we are applying positive energy.  Positive and negative are directions.  Which direction do we choose?  Why waste time being negative?   Let’s choose what life wants for us.  Who we are is a direct result of how we think.  Positive in, positive out.  This positive energy will let us start and end the day on an amazing note.  A positive attitude brings strength, energy and initiative.  Let’s fill our mind with light, happiness, hope, feelings of security and strength, and soon our life will reflect these qualities.  Life is amazing and there is so much to be thankful for.  When in doubt, think positive.  This week, make the choice to be positive and have a phenomenal week!!

ENCOURAGEMENT…

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: …”How heavy is this glass of water?”

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”

She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”

Remember to put the glass down.

GREAT WORDS TO LIVE BY…

Whatever we think about and thank about we bring about.

Success isn’t just about what you accomplish in your life.  It’s about what you inspire others to do.

Rest and self-care are so important.  When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow.  You cannot serve from an empty vessel.

Eleanor Brown

You can’t control everything.  Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out.  Let go a little and just let life happen.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed, savored.
