Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, it's Jessica Laine and welcome back to that
girl energy morning routine affirmations. You know that feeling when
you wake up and just everything feels blah, like even
your coffee tastes a little flat. We've all been there.
But today I want to talk about flipping that script.
It's time to focus on the good stuff, those little
gems of joy scattered throughout our day. Because, let's be real,
life can get pretty hectic. It's easy to get caught
up in the whirlwind of deadlines, errands, and that never
ending scroll through social media. But what if we made
a conscious effort to shift our attention towards the positive.
What if we actively looked for those little moments of sunshine.
It sounds simple, right, but trust me, it's a game changer. Now.
I know what you're thinking. Easier said than done, right,
It's like trying to catch butterflies with your bare hands.
But hear me out. This isn't about ignoring the bad stuff,
because let's face it, life has its share of curveball.
It's about choosing to acknowledge those good things, no matter
how small, like that perfect bite of toast in the morning,
A genuinely kind smile from a stranger, or even just
feeling the warm sunlight on your skin. Think of it
like this, You've got two buckets. One bucket is for
all the negative stuff, the stress, the frustrations, the things
that make you want to pull your hair out. The
other bucket is for all the good stuff, those little
moments of joy, gratitude, and pure awesomeness. Now, which bucket
do you want to be overflowing? Here are five things
that can seriously boost your good stuff bucket. One. Practice gratitude.
This might seem cheesy at first, but trust me, it works.
Take a few minutes each day to think about the
things you're grateful for. It could be anything from your
cozy bed to a friend who always knows how to
make you laugh, write them down in a journal, tell
someone you love them, or simply whisper them to yourself. Two.
Be present. Ever, notice how when you're caught up in
your phone scrolling time just seems to disappear. That's because
you're not fully present in the moment. Make an effort
to truly experience each moment, even the seemingly mundane ones.
Savor that cup of coffee, listen to the birds chirping,
feel the wind on your face. You'd be surprised how
much beauty there is in the ordinary. Three. Celebrate small winds.
Don't wait for some massive accomplishment to celebrate. Give yourself
credit for every little victory, finishing a work project, making
it to the gym, even just getting out of bed
on time. These small winds add up and keep you
motivated for connect with nature ever, Notice how being in
nature just makes you feel better. There's something about fresh air, sunshine,
and trees that instantly calms your mind and lifts your spirits.
Take a walk in the park, go for a hike,
or even just sit outside and soak up some vitamin D.
Fief practice kindness. Kindness is contagious. A simple smile, a
helping hand, or a thoughtful word can make someone's day brighter.
Plus it feels amazing to be kind. It's like giving
yourself a little dose of good vibes. Picture this. You're
having a pretty rough morning. Your coffee spills, you're running late,
and your favorite pair of shoes is missing. Where did
they go? You're starting to feel that familiar blah creeping in.
But then something happens. You see a cute dove on
your walk, its tail wagging furiously. A stranger holds the
door open for you, and you catch their eye. You
find those missing shoes tucked under your bed. Like magic,
these seemingly small things turn your day around. Suddenly the
good stuff starts to outweigh the bad. See, it's all
about choosing to focus on those little moments of joy.
They might seem insignificant at first glance, but trust me,
they have a powerful impact. They add up and create
a ripple effect, making your entire life feel brighter and
more fulfilling. So today, make a conscious decision to focus
on the good stuff. Be grateful for the little things,
celebrate your wins, be kind to yourself and others, and
remember that even on the toughest days, there's always something
to smile about. Now, go out there and rock it,
