Changing the story

It's not really so hard to get up and get going. It's mainly a matter of changing the story you tell yourself.

Every day you're strengthening your habits and assumptions with the things you do and the things you tell yourself. Every moment you have the opportunity to become more energetic, more focused, more purposeful and successful.

If you sit around telling yourself that you're too tired and that life is unfair, guess what? You're creating a reality with your inaction and with those negative, self-defeating thoughts.

Instead, get up, move around, do something useful and caring, being thankful all the while. Remind yourself of life's best possibilities and jump at every opportunity to have a positive impact.

Is the story you're telling yourself holding you back, keeping you inactive and unmotivated? If so, it's time for a new, improved story, and you can start telling yourself that story right now.

You deserve the best, so remind yourself to get busy and create it in every moment. Fill your days with positive thoughts and actions, and live the very best story you can imagine.
