TOMORROW WILL BE A GOOD DAY
Exercise no. 15
Take a few moments to remember the beginning of today.
- How did you feel when you woke up this morning?
- Can you remember what your first thought was about?
- Is this how you normally wake up?
Your first thought in the morning is important because it sets your mood for the rest of the day.
To gain a positive head start tomorrow, say this simple phrase to yourself as soon as you wake up:
TODAY WILL BE A GOOD DAY
and then if your thoughts attempt to contradict this statement, say to yourself
I WILL FIND A WAY
Do this exercise every morning. You will engage better with life’s challenges and good events are more likely to happen during the day because of your more positive mood.
NOTES
This exercise is a powerful method for positive thinking, but it has one major problem and that is remembering to do it when you wake up. To help with this, there is a series of audio wake up calls, which you can copy to your phone and use for your morning alarm. Listen to these wake up calls
This is a wonderful exercise, I have been using the half smile or sometimes a full on smile before I get out of bed. It really does change our brain's chemistry and makes for a delicious day. I also have a sign on my desk that says, "I deserve healthy thoughts" whenever a dark thought pops up I counter with this and it works every time!
Thank you for your wonderful website.
Peace and Love,

I think this is a wonderful exercise! And I really liked Susie's suggestion for 'deserving' healthy thoughts!
Blessings,

Yes Susie's affirmation on her desk must dispel a lot of negative mental chatter. I also like the additional affirmation from James: 'I WILL FIND A WAY' This must be very helpful when waking up to an especially dreadful day, you tell yourself 'TODAY WILL BE A GOOD DAY' but your mind says 'NO IT WILL NOT' you then counter with 'I WILL FIND A WAY' and you probably do.
