Anchor Your Day

Have you woken to thoughts spinning out-of-control, not wanting to get out of bed yet forcing yourself only to sit down put your head into your hands ready to collapse because life is so complicated?

Has the thought whizzed by, “If I could only have five minutes of peace and contentment, I could manage life much better than I am”?

Life feels like a tread mill that is on high incline and speed and every day we must jump on it or stay in bed with the covers pulled over our heads wishing it away.

The stress of life never leaves BUT it can get better with positive choice we make. And when we do, we can have peace and contentment, stability, and hope to fight the battle.

How do you do it? How do you find the one thing every morning to keep a positive attitude?

Finding the one thing that can be done each day to provide a positive outlook to the day can be hard when you’re stuck.

It's SIMPLE - keep reading - and you will shake your head when I tell you what the one thing you can do each day that will help you stay positive. 

Make your bed!

Yes, every day- get out of bed and make your bed!

Why is making your bed every day an action to stay positive?

So, you don't crawl back in your bed! 

Making your bed with the covers pulled tight, pillows in place will make for a nice-looking display that will brighten your day and may even dissipated depression. You see, years ago I would keep my bed unmade so I could easily crawl back into it when things got tough and overwhelming. The unmade bed allowed me to crawl back in so no one would notice.

Not anymore - making the bed needs to be close to the top of your daily priorities.

This habit, of making your bed each day, can be the one thing that will become an ANCHOR to your day.

Anchoring your day with this simple idea of making your bed is just the beginning of positive habits to create a life with peace and contentment.

Here are a few more ideas that have proven to be top actions to keep my day ANCHORED so I can experience peace and contentment.

Tips to Anchor Your Day:

1. Make Your Bed – Why? So, you won’t get back in it. Plus, your room will look neat and put together.
2. Move It or Lose It – Exercise. Move your body, if you don’t eventually you won’t be able to move it.
3. Quiet Time with God – God Time. Give God your undivided attention, even if it’s five minutes.
4. Get Dressed – Physically and spiritually. The armor of God is an action step.
