Today was sort of a blah day. It’s funny how some days I am so good at remaining positive and feeling optimistic about the day and other days are a struggle. I guess it’s just human nature and that’s why so many of us are not reaching our full potential when trying to manifest and practice the law of attraction. I definitely went through the motions today, but I haven’t had a true sense of inner joy since waking up.
I am grateful to wake up with a roof over my head. I am grateful for my health and the ability to wake up and live a healthy life. I am grateful to have a job to go to every day. I am grateful for my family.
When I woke up this morning I did not want to get out of bed. I did not want to go to work. I wanted to take the day off and just veg out or catch up on the mountains of laundry that have been haunting me for weeks. I usually fold laundry on my beautiful mango wood dining room table, which drives me bonkers because it is stunning and the dining room is gorgeous, but it is always covered in clothes.
I am grateful to have nice things in my house. I am grateful that my children have clothes to wear. I am grateful that I have a working washer and dryer. I am grateful for my children.
You see, I have four young children and work a full-time job, so managing the laundry of the house seems like an insurmountable task. Every morning I have to dig through piles of clean clothes to find matching socks for my kids or an outfit that is weather appropriate and somewhat coordinates, and it just makes me mad.
I know the solution… Do the damn laundry. But it’s not always that easy. When I get home from a full day of teaching 2nd grade, I have my own children to care for. Dinner must be made (multiple meals to please everyone), dishes are piled up in the sink, baths, finding clean pjs, bedtime snuggles…. Have I mentioned that I am pregnant with my fifth child and exhausted by 8:00?
I am grateful that we have food to eat. I am grateful that my job allows me to be home for dinner. I am grateful that we have running water and soap to clean our bodies with. I am grateful that I am with my children and that they want to spend time with me.
My husband often works late so I am usually flying solo during the most stressful time of the day, and it is a lot. So that’s why something as simple as laundry causes me so much anxiety.
I am grateful that my husband works hard to support our family. I am grateful that my husband has a job.
Yesterday I was so positive and feeling all of the creation vibes, and gosh did it help me conquer my day. My two year old had an epic meltdown over a cupcake toy and I was so calm and peaceful throughout the drama. Normally my blood pressure would have been through the roof. After school my boys wanted to play baseball and instead of declining out of exhaustion I joined in the game. We had a blast and it was such a sweet way to connect and finish the day.
I want that feeling again. I need to switch my perspective. I am going to reread what I have written and reframe my thinking into words of gratitude. I have done this with a green text color above.
My goal tomorrow is to reframe my thinking with gratitude. The simple act of writing and reading my green sentences has raised my vibration.
Here is what I journaled today:
- Money is abundant.
- Business is booming.
- I can be, do, and have anything I want.
Reminders
I am here to joyously create.
Be the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.
Until next time…
✌️ and good vibes
