Happy 1st of July!! How crazy is it that we are already in a new month?! All year long the months have dragged but June was gone in the blink of an eye...and let me tell you, July has come in full swing this morning!
Everyone overslept, even though we all have alarms set.
People were frantically getting ready for work or to leave.
Cats were getting into everything they know they shouldn't.
Someone had to come back home because they'd left their phone.
I scrapped my leg going into the basement...
....Deep breath. Literally in the midst of all the chaos, as I was doing my morning cleaning routine, I found myself in the middle of one hell of a complaining storm when I heard myself say (mentally, of course), "This is a new month and today sets the intentions and mood for the entire month. Your morning decides the entire day."
So, taking a deep breath, I switched my thinking. I focused on everything that had gone right instead. I mean in 20 minutes I'd already put a load of laundry in the wash, cleaned the toilet and bathroom sink, swept all the rooms, put away the dishes, made the bed, and changed clothes. That's definitely a major win!
There's always going to be days that don't start off the way we want but they don't get to decide if they are going to ruin the day or not. We choose how to respond which means we get to decide if we are going to clutch onto those few moments of frustration or if we're going to take a deep breath and just let it go.
Accept it happened/is happening, breathe to calm yourself, find something good/positive, and decide to keep going.
Personally this is a lesson I've had a hard time learning simply because when I'm having a bad day or shit is hitting the fan, I usually ignore it and instead take a nap. Not saying that isn't the answer sometimes, because it certainly could be, but the whole accepting and letting it go? Breathing through it? That's a struggle.
So, if for whatever reason, your morning may not be quite as you would have liked, it's okay. Just breathe and work through it. Get in a state of flow instead of resistance. Give yourself grace.
Have a beautiful Wednesday! ♥️
