"How you start your day is essentially how you will live your life."

Shownotes:

• Check in about positive words (see Episode 2) - I've been repeating "You are worthy of love" and "You are learning not to yell at your children anymore."

• My positive words have been really affecting me in a great way

• If you haven't started last week's action item, start telling yourself, "You are worthy of love"

• Gratitude! Let's start with my daughter saying what she's grateful for

• I started with my daughter because it highlights how simple gratitude is

• We can wake up and say what we are grateful for and it can be simple - I am tired in the morning and don't have too many deep thoughts right when I wake up in the morning

• Morning gratitude doesn't need to super deep - it's just a mindset shift

• What you're grateful for is your first thought before checking your phone

• Shoutout to Allie Casazza who talked about getting grateful in the morning on The Purpose Show podcast - go check her out at http://alliecasazza.com/podcast

• Starting your day with gratitude really shifts your mood

• I started gratitude in the evening when my little girl was young and it was just the three of us - we ended the evening with what we were grateful for and we still do that after prayers and before bed

• Let's bookend our days with gratitude

• Starting your day with gratitude is important because it's a snowball effect for the rest of your day

• What you fill your mind with in the morning determines the rest of your day

• Julie Boyer wrote a book called 30 Days of Gratitude and she says: "How you start your day is essentially how you live your life."

• Your ACTION ITEM is: wake up tomorrow morning and start with gratitude - lay in bed thinking of what you're grateful for (even something as simple as being grateful for your bed is great)
