I believe that many people wake up every morning dreading the day. Their alarm goes off, they turn over, hit the snooze, hit it again...and hit it again....delaying their day...pushing back their start.
They see their day as a battle. They see their day as something that they have to "get through" in order to finally get back home. I'm sure many of you have felt this way before...the dread of having to go to work...the dread of having to drive through traffic, fight with your loved ones for the bathroom, fight with yourself on what to wear...fight...fight...fight.
The problem with this is that if you wake up everyday waiting to go into battle...all you'll ever be is stressed and waiting to fight. With all that fighting...all we end up feeling is tired.
Change your mindset. Instead of focusing on surviving your day...see each day as a chance to play in your day. Everyday is an opportunity to play. Learn something new about a coworker (not gossip), learn a new way to do your daily tasks, pick up a random fact, take a longer crap in the bathroom, take a slower shower, take each moment of your life and treat them as playground equipment...the world is your sandbox.
Every time you do this, you are adding to your life, adding toys to your playground...but like the oppposite, when you are busy littering your playground with negative beliefs and attitudes (playing victim) you are just making a mess out of your world....polluting your sandbox. In this way, you are not surviving and dreading your day, waiting to get home....you are playing in your day...making everything your home.
Are you building castles or busy trying to make mud?
