I realize that keeping a positive attitude is important to my health and well-being, but sometimes I get caught up in the worries of the day. To overcome my tendency to worry, I start my day by devoting a few minutes bringing to mind all of the things that are going right and that I am grateful for. I start my day on the right foot by doing this. As the day progresses and I notice that I am fretting about something, I shift my thoughts to that morning time. Worry isn’t productive, and learning to break the habit of worrying about things beyond my control has brought more peace into my life.
