"You need to learn how to select your thoughts
just the same way to select your clothes every day."
Elizabeth Gilbert
Each day awaits our participation. We may spend lengthy time selecting what we will wear, but how much time do we allow for selecting the thoughts to lead us into our productive day? Perhaps it would be useful to set a timer to recalibrate what progress we make at intervals and the level of our mindset.
Holding ourselves accountable, when the timer goes off, we can jot down on paper how we have orchestrated our time. Have we stayed on task and what of our attitude? Have we been joyful and grateful or resentful and argumentive? Resetting the timer, we may notice that time passes more swiftly when we are in a good frame of mind.
The world may seem in chaos and our daily schedules in discord, but if we cultivate the use of our minds, we discover a sense of control. As we focus more on the positive in our lives, the more elevated our moods become. Healthy self-talk escalates good feelings and helps us to avoid negative traps. It is a matter of choosing wisely.
