Your first thoughts when you woke up determines your life!

Your first thoughts when you woke up determines your life!

What were your first thoughts when you woke up this morning?

Did you wake up thinking about what needs to be done today, what needs to be done this week, or next week? 

Did you wake up thinking about the challenges you may be facing in your life?

About the people who have wronged you or how life is unfair, the world is conspiring against you.

Well, if you did, I can predict that you will have a shitty day, a shitty week, and most likely a shitty year. 

Why? Because you woke up focused on things that you may not be able to control, things that are in the past and future, and things that are only true because you believe them to be true. 

Most importantly, you woke up not focused on the present and without being grateful for all the good stuff in your life. You woke up without the positive thought that has created and created everything great in your life.

Change these thoughts immediately.

Instead of dwelling on the negative aspects, start your day focusing on the positive. Positive thoughts can shift your mindset, improve your mood, and set the tone for the day ahead. When you wake up being grateful and thinking positive thoughts, you will find that your perspective on life and its challenges begin to change.

Begin by recognizing and appreciating the simple things in life.

You woke up to a new day, one of the 8 billion people that got to see this world again, see your family and friends again, and be given another chance to create the world you want. 

You have already won today. 

It's possible to break this negative cycle in two simple steps.

  1. Make a habit of starting your day by listing three things you are grateful for. This practice can help you focus on the good in your life and provide a more optimistic outlook. 
  2. Do this daily for at least a month. Your overall mental and emotional state will likely improve, leading to better days, weeks, and years ahead.
  3. Focus on the present moment and what you can control. Many people spend their time and energy worrying about the past or the future. Still, the only moment we truly have control over is the present.

It's super simple, yet most people won't do it. Instead, they prefer to be negative, naysaying human beings, using excuses to justify the unfairness in the world. Preferring to suck the life and joy out of everyone around them, yet always hoping that someone else will come and rescue them - from themselves. 

Your thoughts and beliefs shape your reality. For example, suppose you believe life is unfair and the world is conspiring against you. In that case, you will be correct and may unintentionally attract more negative experiences. However, if you choose to focus on the positive aspects of life, you will create a more fulfilling and rewarding life experience.

So the next time you wake up, and I hope it's tomorrow for you, take a moment to be grateful and focus on your life's positive aspects. Doing so can lead to a more satisfying and joyful day, week, and year ahead.
