Frame of Mind Coaching

Have you observed that whenever things start to go wrong, they just get worse? That is the kind of day I had today. Escalating badness. It is a function of the law of attraction. Whenever you focus on the thing that makes you feel bad, you continue to feel bad and after that you emanate bad energy and that energy just attracts more bad stuff. The trick is to slowly get yourself out of badness and into a more happy, joyful state. Easier said than done, right? Well allow me to try...

The very first thing I could do is be kind to myself. I say, "Today I had a tough day. Tomorrow, I'll choose to have a much better day."

The next thing I need to do is imagine what a great day looks like:

I wake up feeling renewed and motivated. The sun shines through my window blinds. I relax and take a couple of minutes to give some thought to what I am thankful for. I leap out of bed and wake up my kids. They are unbelievably cheerful and they get dressed, brush their teeth and get ready for school as I shower and get ready too. They are in the car on time and ready to go. As I drive them to school, we all sing out loud to a song that the3 of us know the lyrics to. I give them a hug and a kiss. I say to them that I love them and to have a great day. They too tell me they love me and I'm all set to face my day.

I get to work and I head into my office to see a lot of cheques on my desk ready for deposit. I receive messages from clients who are thrilled with my company and send me at least 1referral each. I get a bunch of calls from prospective customers who've been told good things about me and ask me if I would like to work with them. I meet at least one new person who is dynamic, clever, interesting, and doing amazing things in the world. I get in touch with some of my friends and trade experiences. I really feel great.

I leave the office to pick up my kids who have already completed their homework, both are in amazing moods, and are prepared to go home, have a great dinner, light a fire and enjoy a movie together.

Before heading to sleep I write a blog post.

That's a perfect day.

The 3rd thing I need to do is say, "Thanks for such an amazing day."

Crazy how that whole process simply made my today a lot better... I have a strong feeling that tomorrow will be a great day!
