Wake Up Differently

If you�re like me, chances are you wake up thinking about all you have to do today�the schedule of meetings, the projects that must get done, the problems to be confronted.
Then we add to the mental weight load by worrying about them all. Today, try something different. When you awaken, focus on how you want to be as you go through your day, rather than what you have to do. You might say something like, �As I go through today, I choose to be kind and patient to myself and others.� When I have to do publicity, which makes me nervous, I say, �May what I have to say serve the common good.� By setting an intention�kindness, patience, service�we bring more of our essence to any encounter, and focus on the positive that we can do, no matter what else is going on.
