Maybe it’s the one Sunday you could sleep in and your neighbor decided to mow the lawn. Or you woke up to screaming kids. Or you didn’t hear the alarm and missed an important meeting.
As you reflect back, are you amazed that such simple things can thwart your plans? In fact, a single thought could bombard your mind pummeling through your day like a tornado.
Most of us are unconscious of how we give away way too much power to things and people that don’t matter.
If you want to live a powerful, happy and successful life, you’ve got to wake up to how things are affecting you so you can respond not just react.
Start by creating a morning ritual. Maybe it’s taking a deep breath in and stretching before you rush off toward your day. Maybe it’s writing your thoughts in a journal. Maybe it’s reflecting on three things you are grateful for.
We all have the power to change our moments and inevitably change our lives. We just have to take back the power that may have been taken from us through narcissistic people, overthinking and people who couldn’t love us the way we needed them to.
