Did you wake up this morning with a big smile because you’re starting a brand-new day? No matter what yesterday consisted of, you can make today a better day.
Maybe you’re smiling because you decided to step out of your comfort zone and begin a happier life. Today, you decided to let go of all the negative people and focus on you.
One thing we get to witness every day at our fitness center is the huge smile on our clients’ faces as they walk out the door. They feel the confidence and accomplishment from pushing themselves.
You can build a positive mental state by just walking out the door for a stroll around the block. The body needs to sweat to rid itself of impurities. Smiling always comes from a good productive workout. You will also be proud of yourself for eating healthier.
When’s the last time you were smiling because you did a good deed for someone and didn’t expect anything in return? It’s as simple as opening doors with a sincere “hello.”
Remember, people every day are dealing with negative forces that the world throws at us. It’s easy to let these unwanted forces take over your mind which leads to depression.
Once you recognize that this is happening, then let out a big loud laugh and tell Mr. Negative, “You can’t infiltrate this mind. I’m too beautiful, smart and happy.”
Recently, I was having a conversation with one of my clients. Like most of us, he has plenty of stressful situations in his life. I told Robbie that a long time ago I got rid of all the unnecessary drama and stress in my life. If anyone tries to create any issues with me, then they get the delete button. I don’t argue with people, I eliminate them.
So, all of you our there can get rid of yours, too.
Now, take a moment and think about all the things in your life that make you smile. Reflect over the memories that made you laugh and feel loved. Stop worrying about the negatives and focus on the positives.
Once you can grasp all the goodness that surrounds you, your life will immediately change. There is so much good around us, you just need to realize it’s starring you back in the mirror.
Just remember, forget the doom and gloom because it’s time to smile.
