It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived. Helen Walton

Change one thing at a time, whether it’s to lose weight or to improve your life! It’s so much easier to break things down into smaller bite sized chunks. So here’s your first one for today.

Change one thing about the way you begin your day!

Think about what could make it easier to get going on a positive note when you wake up in the morning. The mood you wake up with can decide your mood for the entire day so it’s really important to start well.

Here are a few suggestions;
- You might decide to hang up a notice to yourself with a message on or a smiley face so that you can smile as soon as you get up.
- Would you feel brighter in the morning if you knew lunch was prepared because you did it the night before?
- Set your alarm earlier so you can take your time getting ready.
- Have a set of positive affirmation cards, or angel cards and choose one each morning to make you feel positive.
- Think of or write down 3 things that you’re grateful for in your life, pick 3 different things each morning!
- Read a quote from my Happy book.

Think about it, what one thing could you do that you know will make a difference to your day.

If you’re day starts well, anything that happens throughout the day is easier to cope with!

Just imagine if your weight stayed the same on the scales this week because you said yes instead of no 7 times last week, just changing one of those yes’s to NO this week might be the difference that gets you a loss on those very same scales next week!

So go one start with that gratitude list, what 3 things in your life are you grateful for today, mine are;

1) My big expensive double mattress that has just made sure I had a wonderful nights sleep.
2) Alfie my dog who makes sure I wake up without the aid of an alarm clock, then goes back to sleep on moms bed!
3) My computer and Internet connection that means I can communicate with you everyday – how fantastic is that!

Don’t just close the email, make your list, and do it every morning!

Remember Life Starts NOW!

Are you living yet :-)
