11 Things Focused People Tell Themselves Every Day When They Wake Up

With the hustle and bustle that is a daily occurrence in Kenya, there are those mornings when you wake up and feel that it’s too much. But we all need some affirmation every day in our lives and that is why the following list should help in bringing positivity and restoring energy in the morning.

Here are 11 things you should always tell yourself when you wake up in the morning.

1. I have a purpose
This should be the first thing you tell yourself the moment you open your eyes. As the Dalai Lama once said, “If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito in the room.” The position you hold in a company does not matter, even as a cleaner you still make a difference in that company. This is a feel-good thought.

2. I have a right to be happy
Happiness is something you have to feel each and every single day of your entire life. Anna Kembe* ,37, says that every day when she wakes up her watchman or driver will make her angry and then the rest of her day ends up being bad. But she does not realize it is in her power to decide how her watchman and driver affect her.

3. Tell yourself “Wow, I look good” before leaving the house.
It’s not easy to feel good especially if you are earning a low salary. You may not buy clothes from Mr. Price or Dubai or even have that coveted Louis Vuitton handbag but even with the Ngara outfit you need to feel great and confident about yourself. Confidence is key and people around you will respond to your positive vibes.

4. I will Smile at everyone with whom I may come in contact.
A smile can go a long way. If you see a stranger, smile at him or her — it may be the only smile the person sees that day. It may be to the person seated next to you in the matatu or the newspaper vendor just around the corner.

Smiling at people makes you feel happy regardless of whether you got a smile in return.

5. Yesterday is in the past and today is a new day.
So yesterday you messed up at work or you yelled at your best friend or significant other and had a fight. Whatever the case may be, forget about it. Move on. Don’t ever dwell on your mistakes. You’re only human and it is ok to go wrong at times. Start fresh today!

6. I am doing the best with what I have
Have you ever felt like nothing you did was ever good enough no matter how hard you strived?
This contributes to negative attitude and may probably ruin your day. Understand that you are unique in your own way and that’s why you do things differently from others.

7. I forgive my past, accept the present and release the future.
We think about our past and wonder about our future so often but all we have is now. Accepting the present allows you to release your future worries and live without judgment or critique. Mary Kieni* feels that because she did not get a promotion, her future is meaningless so she goes to work grumpy and does sloppy work. If she used her present well she may get that promotion she wants

8. I choose love over fear
Even if the world is sometimes a scary place by choosing love over fear you make a difference in your life and other people’s lives..

9. I am in charge of my thoughts
Our thoughts are within our control range and you are the only person who can decide how you think and what you think.

10. I won’t sweat over small stuff.
Often we spend a huge amount of time worrying about miniature issues which really do not matter. Why would you worry because your door rug was stolen? Instead worry about things like how your insurance is not enough. Releasing your worries opens the door to happiness and positivity.

11. Today is going to be awesome
Tomorrow when you wake up tell yourself hat “today is going to be awesome” you will see how awesome it turns out to be.

If you did these things every morning would they change your life for better?
