Happy Monday!
I’m hoping you enjoyed the sunshine and spent some quality self-care time with your favorite activities. It’s amazing how quickly the weekends pass. With some luck and intentionality, you’ll be able to take a little of the respite you practiced into your week.
Sometimes we have to face days that are not so sunny. We’re troubled by family matters with spouses or children that we feel are insurmountable. Our job may cause stress, particularly when situations seem entirely unreasonable. Maybe we’ve set a new health goal and even though we give it our all, accomplishing the next level seems elusive.
It’s days like this that position us for a downward spiral. The adversity may, however, actually provide an opportunity to sit with the challenge, determine to remain present and curious, and pause for a moment. Much like the old adage about finding the glass half full or half empty, troubling times provide us with the chance to choose how we’ll respond. Here’s something I found that may encourage you in the process:
The next time you have a particularly difficult day remember, there’s a high probability that you’ll survive. Why not make it a choice rather than leaving it up to fate. You’ll gain greater perspective and become empowered in the process!
Be Well & Be Blessed!
