So many times, we weigh heavy with all the people that don't act quite like we think they (or any human) should act, circumstances that are out of our control, and things that are too big to tackle. What if, for one day, we focused on the things in our life that we CAN change.
As an exercise, I have decided to spend my entire day today living in a conscious world where I fully comprehend every choice that I make. It is only 8 a.m., but just with this mindset I can't believe how many choices I have already made. I made the choice to get up when I naturally woke up, even though that was almost 15 minutes before my alarm clock goes off. On an average day, I would have laid my head back under the pillow and dozed off and then woke up irritated at the alarm clock for waking me up. Then, shortly after I woke up, I prayed and thought about what kind of day I was going to have today. On an average day, I would have woke up yelling to my son as to why he wasn't out the bathroom yet. Today, I got on a prayer call as soon as the lines opened up and patiently waited until prayer began. On an average day, I would have called just before I thought they were about to start praying, not understanding why my mind was still wandering. I am making a choice today to have a better than average day. Some days average is enough, but today I want more. Would you like a better than average day? Or are you okay with your days as they are..
