To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
As the day ends, and we ease ourselves into the mellowness of the night, it is wonderful when we can sit back and think:
Today was a great day!
I guarantee you that if we end our days feeling this way our chances of getting a good night sleep improve tremendously.
I invite you during your journal writing time tonight to write on the top of the page: “Today was a great day!”.
Then list as many things as you can think of that affirm your declaration.
I challenge you friends, to do this even if you do not think you had a good day at all. Reach and see if you can think of some good that came of this day…
Shall we give this a go?
Let’s see….
Today was a great day!
These are the reasons why:
1. I found out today that I get to remain at the same grade level (next school year) with the same teaching partner and subjects (I am a fifth grade language arts teacher and I love it and I have a great partner to work with)!
2. Although storms were forecasted, we had no rain for our annual outdoor play day at school.
3. We have smoked salmon, bagels, cream cheese, and tabouli ready to eat for dinner tonight (with pina colada sherbet for dessert)
4. I had a great talk with my husband this afternoon when I got home from work.
5. We are enjoying some prosperity! Yes, checks are coming in (always a good thing)!
Your turn, sweet friends. How was your day great?
In Peace,
Debra
What will make this a great day for you? In your journal, write down as many things that come to mind… ready set go!
This is how I am going to have a great day!
1. Go into work with a positive attitude.
2. Focus on one thing at a time. If I just do one thing well, I will have succeeded. The rest? Just let go…
3. Remind myself throughout my day that I am not responsible or in control of other people’s behavior
4. At the end of my day, go for a great workout and bike ride out to the beach,
and finally..
5. Enjoy a relaxing evening with my wonderful loving husband.
Make it a great one, guys.
Cheers,
Debra
