Make it a WONDERFUL day!
Oh how I love Maya’s outlook here!
I sense expectation, hope, positivity, excitement, happiness, and spontaneity - for each day!
I want to adopt this attitude! You and I can choose to see our days like this.
How?
I’ve heard it said that focusing on the past can cause depression and focusing on the future can cause anxiety. What would happen if we fix our eyes on the present? What if we choose to focus only on today and make it WONDERFUL? I bet our present focus would result in gratitude, contentment, joy and peace.
What I love about zeroing in on “now,” is the simplicity of it. It’s not complicated. It’s not overwhelming and too much to handle. That is where the peace comes in.
And you know what? It doesn’t take BIG things to make a day great….it’s all in the little things.
Here are a few of the little things that make my days WONDERFUL:
A good cup of coffee (extra foam PLEASE!)
Reading inspiring Scripture and prayer
A smile from a neighbor
A laugh from a silly meme or gif
A yummy meal
Journaling my gratitude
Popcorn!
My Kindle
Neighborhood walk & favorite podcast
An unexpected contact from someone special
Flowers
Encouraging a friend
A sunny day
A rainy day
Chirping birds
A really good TV series or movie
Trying out a new recipe
Restful sleep
Comfy sweats
An organized drawer
Corn Hole
A good glass of wine
Listening to my country music
What are the little things that you can do today to make your day WONDERFUL?
Make a list and DO them!
“Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. …….then the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:8-9
