Hello and welcome to this morning's meditation.
So much of our lives is determined by the stories we tell ourselves.
Events happen,
Things occur,
But it is our own thoughts about it that determine our reaction and our experience.
Let's make up our mind that today is going to be the perfect day.
Let's commit to looking on the bright side and choosing to interpret things in a new way.
If you get stuck in traffic,
It could be an opportunity to develop patience.
If someone is rude to you at the store,
You can see it as an opportunity to practice loving kindness.
If you're feeling stuck at a job you don't love,
Maybe it's providing an opportunity to learn something that will guide you to a job that you do love.
Yes,
This can feel a little forced,
A little Pollyanna,
But changing how we interpret our lives means changing how we experience our lives.
So let's introduce some affirmations that you can use today to start telling a new story.
Take a comfortable position.
Let's start with three deep breaths in and out,
In.
Today is the perfect day.
Today is the perfect day to start something new.
Today is the perfect day to practice patience.
Today is the perfect day to slow down.
Today is the perfect day to show grace to a stranger.
Today is the perfect day to appreciate the beauty of life.
Today is the perfect day to express my love.
Today is the perfect day to believe in myself.
Today is the perfect day to show gratitude.
Today is the perfect day to practice self-love.
Today is the perfect day to have faith.
Today is the perfect day to tell a new story.
Today is the perfect day.
As you go through the rest of your day,
Use these affirmations or create your own that will help you see your life and the world in a different light.
With some practice,
Those new interpretations will help you change the story of your life.
Thank you for joining me.
Have a beautiful day.
