Morning reflections

When I wake up in the morning, after my workout and before coffee, I like to meditate. This is how I like to get my mind and vibration to the right level for my day. When I meditate I put in my earplugs and sit in the dark with my eyes closed and I focus and what I regret from the previous day and what were my victories from the previous day. Focusing on my regrets let’s me know what I’d like to do different today to avoid that feeling and then I don’t wallow in it and then focusing on my victories let’s me take pride in myself and what I accomplished the previous day that I plan on bringing into today. Having regrets is perfectly healthy and totally normal. What’s not healthy is letting those regrets consume you day after day but doing nothing to remedy them. If you regret something you did or said make mental note of that, focus on that negative feeling and let that fuel you to be better instead of trapping you in the past. On the flip side there’s no victory too small to celebrate. We have a tendency to think victories worth celebrating have to be huge, but it’s the little victories that add up to the big ones. Maybe you didn’t eat any sweets at all yesterday and adhered to your diet. Maybe you saved and extra $50 from your paycheck. Maybe you didn’t snap on your kids when they broke a picture after playing ball in the house when you asked them not to a million times. Every little win is still a win and if you keep compiling them each day eventually you’re going to have reached your major victory! And from there you adjust your focus and set a new goal and keep track of your wins until you reach that. That’s how we grow! Learn from the past, succeed today, plan for tomorrow, and repeat!
