Eyes Open

The opportunity starts the instant you open your eyes in the morning.  There is a multitude of ways to go, but ultimately, the choice is yours.  What is the opportunity you ask; it’s called you daily intention. Your daily intention can set the way the rest of your day goes for you.  It’s that waking up with the Monday Miseries where you complain about having to get up and go to work, or shifting your thoughts to, “Thank you for allowing me to wake up to experience another day and for having a job.”

One I recently experienced on a Monday was waking up with a sore back and thinking, “damn this is gonna suck today.”  Then I remembered I had an appointment for some deep tissue muscle work and a back adjustment that afternoon, and my intention shifted.  I strive to have my morning intention to go something like this, “Thank you for another day…I know it will be a great one because I choose it to be…”  Yes, there are mornings I wake up in a mood and wallowing in some type of emotional nonsense, but I know if I do not get out of bed, I will literally continue to wallow in the bed thinking about the nonsense. 

Intentions are powerful tools that help set the balance of your day.  When those eyes open first thing, get to work by telling yourself you will have a great day full of great things.  Rhonda Byrnes, author of The Secret, says it this way, “Your Thoughts Become Things.”
