Your day can begin right now

Have you ever had a day that you wish had never happened? Nothing seems to go right and everything seems to be going wrong. Your alarm clock fails to go off and you are late for work. You can’t seem to find an important document. You forgot that you had a lunch appointment with a key client. You miss your train home and have to wait an hour for the next one to arrive. You feel exasperated. This is the perfect time to remind yourself that your day can start whenever you choose. It might be 10:00 AM, 3:30 PM, or 7:45 PM. Time is relative anyway so why not take advantage of that concept? Take a deep breath and say to yourself, “I am starting my new day right now.” Then put any negative events of the day behind you. Focus on the moment as bringing positive outcomes and be mindful of how you feel in doing so. You most likely will have a tremendous sense of relief after starting your day over. When was the last time you wished you could turn the clock to a new day and what would your life have looked like had you done so?
