Do you ever have just one of those days? I do. Sometimes more often than not...
I want to share with you a couple of things to help turn one of those days into a great day! (Yes, it is possible!! lol)
The first thing you have to do is find a time where you can have a moment and just breathe. For me it's driving to work - I've already left so I'm not having to make sure I remember everything, my son is in the car jibber-jabbering so I'm not having to get him ready, and so on.
One thing I try to do daily, even though sometimes I forget, is to take a big, deep breath in and tell God that I'm breathing in more of him today. As I release my breath slowly I breathe out myself. Reasons: 1. Taking big, deep breaths is calming
2. John 3:30 says "He must become greater; I must become less.”
Then, I smile -even if it hurts.
Then I think about Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. - and I list the truth that is excellent and praiseworthy.
1. I am a child of God!
2. God loves me!
3. Jesus set me free!
4. I am a masterpiece!
5. God has a purpose for me to accomplish THIS day!
So today, if you're having one of those days breathe in God and breathe out you, smile, think on things that are truth and excellent and praiseworthy!!
