When you wake up in the morning, what is your first thought?

Mine 'used to' be - Oh No... Not ANOTHER crappy, miserable, disappointing day Again!
Geesh, what a way to start my day. No wonder I dreaded waking up each and every day of my Life.
With that kind of attitude I was setting myself up for disappointment and failure! I have since learned, by ALOT of research, study and reading (everything I can find) on the subject, that THE most important part/start to your day is.... YOUR ATTITUDE.
Yep,  you read that correctly. Something that sounds as simple as changing your 'mind-set' or thoughts can actually be quite challenging at times, especially if you've been down & depressed or live with someone who  is.
I, myself am also dealing with a chronic health condition, so most times that will put the double whammy on you, so to speak...
BUT, I am here to let you know from first-hand experience that you CAN overcome your mind-set. Just know that it does involve you taking an active role in this process. After all it is Your Life.

This is how you start...
YOU have to make - 'The Decision'
You have to decide that right NOW, this very day IS the day you are going change your mind-set & thoughts...

You HAVE TO say to yourself:  You know what, I am SO sick and tired of feeling this way, of BEING this way. No-one or nothing is going to keep me down anymore!
 
I am in control of what & how I feel.
I am in control of my thoughts and actions.
And I am going to start TODAY to change my way of thinking and how I look at situations.
That is your very first step.
To make 'The Decision' that will effect the rest of your Life...

In my next Blog post I will talk about actual methods I have used that have worked for me and ones that continue to help me to this day.

Now, reach into the depths of your very Soul and find that courage and strength that I KNOW you still have within you!
Find that faith and glimmer of hope that you have clung to for so long, because it is with these powerful feelings that you have held on and they will carry you thru while you gain the knowledge & skills to break free of the past life you have been clinging to and afraid to let go of for so long.

You CAN Do This!!

I BELIEVE In YOU.

Now, You Believe in You.

So until next time...
Love & Blessings and Positive Energy are being sent your way,
