"I hate Monday's," Okay, so you say those words repeatedly. Monday after Monday. You spend your entire weekend dreading Monday. Monday comes and guess what? Monday is miserable. No wonder. Instead of dreading Monday. Why not, welcome Monday? It's a whole new week, a week of possibilities.
I was chatting with a blog follower in the store the other day. Her and I met at one of my events a while ago and now it seems we keep running into each other at the store. Anyway, when she seen me she wanted to go running the other way. She didn't want me to see all the no-nos in her grocery cart. We joked about it. She went on to say, "I live by myself so it doesn't make sense to cook all that food. TV dinners are easier," "I'm on a fixed income so it's just cheaper," and "Besides, I can't cook like you." So, I just affectionately laughed at her and said, "No wonder you can't. You've put up too many mental roadblocks."
Words carry weight. Case in point, for months, I was saying I needed some space from my 19-year old daughter (I've been a single mother her entire life). I just wanted to know what it felt like to only take care of myself. Well, low and behold, I said those words one too many times. Guess what? My baby girl moved out a few months ago. Leaving me devastated. My words caught up to me. When my baby girl left it was a wake up call and since then I've really started focusing on my words Today, I'm a firm believer -- the words you put out in the universe will come true especially if you say them over again and again.
The same is true for positive thoughts. Today, a lady at the gym asked me how I was doing. My reply, "Excellent." That's my standard answer now-a-days even when I'm not in the best of mood.
On the road to a happier, healthier life, I will choose my words wisely. I will think positive thoughts. I encourage you to try it too. Instead, of dreading Monday. Look at every new day as an opportunity, every new week as a possibility. Don't limit yourself with your words. Remove those mental roadblocks. Happy Monday! This is a new week and it's full of possibilities and I'm looking forward to it. It's all about the spin. The word spin.
