When I am aware that my mind is awake the first thing I do is make the assumption that it’s going to be a good day, and thank Jesus.  Before my feet hit the floor I know that everything is going to be okay and that there is a reason to get up and enjoy the day.  

I don’t give myself time to think about how I feel or all that I need to accomplish.  I simply move forward and assume it will all work out.  There never seems to be an advantage to thinking about all the things that might go wrong or the problems that I know exist.  I keep focused on my priorities and move through my to-do list without burdening my mind with all the what if’s. 

For me, an important part of my day is having something visual that I can look at and check off as I complete each task.  When I get off focus I simply need to glance at the list and know exactly what I need to accomplish next.  I need this list for two reasons.  First, I don’t need to waste time remembering what I need to do next.  Second, if an opportunity arises during the day I immediately know what is not going to be accomplished if I take advantage of the opportunity. 

When opportunities arise, I pray for guidance.  Is this something that will lead me closer to Jesus and my intended path?  It is amazing how quickly tasks fall off my to-do list when I look at the opportunity from that perspective.  

A good day for me starts with thanking Jesus, allowing my mind to be positive and prayerful, knowing what I planned for the day, praying through opportunities, and trusting that Jesus will lead me back on track if I make a wrong decision.  Worries are prayed away eliminating any negative thinking.

What makes a good day?  

A day where we know what we need to accomplish but are flexible enough to see the opportunities Jesus provides.  Praying through the highs and lows coming from a perspective of love and compassion.  A day that is led by Jesus.
