What you do and think during the first hour after you wake up sets the tone for the entire day. Here are a few empowering thoughts to feed your mind first thing in the morning for a better, happier, and more successful day!

1. Today Is a New Day

Regardless of whether your yesterday was a good day or a bad day… heck, even if the last 3 months straight have been a wreck, today is a brand new day! Your past does not limit what is possible for you to achieve from this day forward. Take ownership of your day and make it whatever you want it to be!

2. Seek out the Good and Beautiful

When you look for the negative things, you will find them. Put the same effort into looking for the beautiful things, and you will find them too! If you’re going to put an effort into doing something, shouldn’t it be for things that lift your spirits and brighten your day?

3. I Am the Best I Can Be at Every Moment

Regardless of our flaws and idiosyncrasies, we are always the best we possibly can be at any given time. We feel, think, and behave based on our life experiences up until that moment, as well as our understanding of the information we have in order to respond during that moment.

If the moment results in something positive, celebrate and remember it so you can make it happen again! If it doesn’t turn out so great, remember that too and learn from it so you can handle it better next time!

You are the very best YOU right now and you are constantly learning and improving! How awesome is that!
