3-day Challenge
Day 1: "Think success and it will happen.” -Thomas D. Willhite-
- Before you get out of bed in the morning, smile and think, “This is the best day of my life!”
- Before you do anything else take the time to meditate or pray. Express gratitude for the blessings in your life and imagine how you want your day to go.
How do you want feel?
Who are you going to help?
What are you going to accomplish?
- After your meditation or prayer, write down your intention for the day in your journal.
Pick one specific thing you would like to have happen that day.
- During the course of the day, reflect often on who you want to be and what you want to accomplish. This will be especially hard, but very helpful, when you find yourself in a less than desirable situation and you are put to the test.
- Before you go to bed, take time to reflect on your day. This can be done through prayer or meditation.
Day 2: “The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!” -Henry Ward Beecher-
- Repeat all the steps for day one and…
- Notice all the good things that happen to you throughout the day, however small they may be.
- Before bed, record in your journal all of the good things that happened that day.
Day 3: “You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection” -Buddha-
- Repeat all the steps for days one and two, plus …
- Pray to be able to see yourself as God sees you. Then,…
- Sit in front of a mirror for 10 minutes without thinking any critical thoughts or finding any flaws. You may only extend mental compliments and love to yourself. Only positive thoughts are allowed. If you want a real challenge, every time you criticize yourself, start over!
- Make a list of all the good things you accomplished during the day.
