Beginning Your Day
Gratitude
Begin your day with thoughts and feelings of gratitude. It is very important to start each day with the feeling of gratitude and appreciation. As YOU awaken close your eyes and think of the things that YOU are grateful for in life. Feel appreciation and gratitude for the gift of health. Each day prior to your feet touching the floor, start your day with gratitude.
As YOU go throughout your day, find as many things as YOU can to be to be grateful for.
Forgiveness
Begin today with the thoughts of forgiveness. It is important to start your new day with positive thoughts and with forgiveness. Begin to leave yesterday fully in the past where it belongs. Start each day with forgiving yourself for any and all hurtful words, actions, activities or behaviors. Today, find something to forgive yourself for. Begin today, to forgive and let go of things, events and people from your past! Continue to practice forgiveness each day.
What YOU do have is today, yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised. Begin to live your life fully in the present.
Quiet Reflection
Sit quietly for a few moments and feel the feelings of gratitude and forgiveness. Express gratitude for the things that YOU have, your life, your sight, your hearing, your heart, your lungs and for waking with a sound mind. (Feel free to create your own list of things that YOU are grateful for). Think and feel the feelings of forgiveness. Begin to feel the feeling of lightness and release.
