You practically jump out of your skin as your alarm clock startles you awake. It’s 7 a.m., the start of another day. What are you thinking? Does the conversation in your head sound something like this, “Oh, I don’t want to get up. I’ve got so much to do today. How will I ever get it all done? I wish I could just stay in bed.” Is that what you hear each morning? If it is, why not change the conversation and start your day in a more positive way?
During my 20 years as a flight attendant, when my alarm clock rang, I used to say, “Another day, another tray.” Ouch. Saying it now makes my body feel heavy and sluggish. Those days of trays are behind me now. As a person in the business world, I needed a new mantra. Even in the first few months of my new career, the old “tray” statement would be my first thought in the morning. That’s how engraved the phrase was in my brain. I had to replace it with something more appropriate to my present day life, something empowering to start my day off right. I chose, “Another day the consistent way.” Now that sounds nice. Not only is it a better choice, but consistency is the key to success. Be consistent in your positive attitude and success is certain.
You’ve heard the saying “attitude is everything.” It is absolutely true. A positive attitude toward everything you do and everyone you meet will generate true happiness and cause good things to happen in your life.
So what will be your first thought tomorrow morning? Whatever it is, make it a positive one.
