Have I Actually Got This — Or Am I Just Fooling Myself?
Believing that you’ve got this is the first step to handling everything we experience.
Sometimes the day begins with you waking up excited, anticipating good things to come, and feeling rested. Other times, you begin the day with dread, not looking at all forward to what you have on your plate.
Most often, at least in my experience, you probably begin your day groggy, maybe a little achy, uncertain, and unsure of just what lies ahead for you.
The first is clearly positive, the second negative, and the third neutral — though it might lean toward the positive or negative end of the spectrum. No matter how your day begins — you choose what’s next.
On a Monday morning, the vast majority of people begin their workweek. If you love your job — this is probably a boost in your energy to get going. However, if you loathe your job — this is dreadful and likely makes you feel down. But if you fall somewhere between the extremes — you choose, every day, how to approach it all.
I do not, nor cannot know what lies ahead today. Yes, there are appointments, deadlines, obligations, and the like to be met. However — among those are far more uncertainties.
