You know when one little bad thing happens to your day and then everything just goes downhill from there? Well, that was me today. It all started when my dreadful alarm went off at 5:45 am. I was way too cozy in my bed and the thought of getting up to go to class nauseated me. I quite literally rolled out of my bed so I wouldn’t have a choice but to get up.

I got to class and realized we had a speaker today, a child nutritionist. As I was listening to her tell us about her job and what I day in her shoes was like, I thought about how petty and negative it was of me to be so ungrateful about going to class. I am so fortunate to be able to attend such an amazing school and get an outstanding education while I’m at it! And on top of it all, I get to study something I LOVE learning about, nutrition.

This then spiraled me into thinking about how a negative mind will perceive negative thoughts and a positive mind will perceive positive thoughts. After class I had a million issues going on with my laptop, but I didn’t let it worry or bother me. I stayed positive and it all worked out in the end! If I would’ve dealt with that with the same attitude I had this morning, I would’ve just been a grumpy gills all day long.

Everything starts with your mind…everything you think, say, or do. If you aren’t calm, cool, and collected up there, what makes you think you’re body will be?! A healthy and positive lifestyle begins with positive thinking, which then leads to motivation, which then leads to planning, which then leads to action, which then leads to results!!

I challenge each of you reading this to find the positive each day. At the end of your day, when you’re in bed, think about something good that happened. Even if you had the worst day of your life, I bet you could find at least ONE good thing.

I know how stressful and crazy life gets, trust me. But when you have a happy head on your shoulders, everything will fall into place! xoxo
