Every Monday, I think of the week ahead, look at my schedule and write down a little sentence to guide me through whatever challenges I have ahead. I call it “Monday’s Prayer” and Tweet it and put it on Facebook. As I ran on my run this morning, I thought of all I had to do this week and tried to process it into little digestible pieces so I wouldn’t have a heart attack from the stress of it all. Three miles into the run, I thought of this:
“Monday’s Prayer: Allow me to see problems as opportunities and opportunities as blessings.”
I felt the stress melt away — Because it’s all about attitude. If I can get my mind around the challenges in my life at 5:15 in the morning, then I’ll probably be alright the rest of the week. I’ll never succeed until I get my mind right.
P.S. I ended up running 4.69 miles in my neighborhood and the one next to mine. I increased my overall speed .2 mph — which makes me happy. I now have less than 20 pounds to lose to get to my goal. I’m over halfway there.
