Today was a really nice day. For the first time in months, I woke up energized and ready to tackle the day. I have been working daily on setting my mind about the kind of day I want to have. It is new for me, being this intentional about how I am going to approach my day. It is typical for us humans to let our moods, as fickle as they are, dictate how we feel. That, my friends, is a passive way to approach intentional living, and I have found it is counter productive for me.

So, I challenge you this week. Do something different in the morning. If you normally hit the snooze button, get up and do some stretching or read and pray. If you get up in a bad mood, make up your mind you will have an amazing day. Choose a better alternative for breakfast or arrive to work on time. Just give it a try.

What new thing are you going to try this week?
