How will you live today?

I saw this great quote yesterday which I'll attach that says that one of your best decisions is what mood you'll pick for the day. I made an active decision several months ago to start the day by choosing to be in a good mood. It's not always easy because thoughts of things that didn't go well from the day before tend to creep in. But the key it seems is to determine how much attention the thoughts and the day before warrant. If we give them power, then they have power over us. But if we decide to focus on what's good in life especially at the beginning of the day then we have a better chance of having a day worth remembering.

One of the first things I do when I open my eyes and think of at least a couple of things I'm grateful for. Then I tried to read something positive for a few minutes or make a quote for the day that I can share on all my social media platforms. If I have time I even try to listen to a positive audio. That gets me in the right frame of mind for whatever the day brings.

This can be seen as law of attraction where like attracts like. Or it can be an example of how our brain works according to Dr. Deepak Chopra who said in a recent meditation session that the brain creates links and thoughts similar to the ones before it.

So I already did those first three things and now I'm speaking this blog. This is the first time I'm trying that but I'm hoping with my positive mindset for the day that it will work just fine! If not, it's not too big of a crisis and I'll try another way but I think it will work.

So how will you choose to start today or if it's later in the day how will you start tomorrow?
