“Attack each day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.”
– Jim Harbaugh, National Champion Football Coach
The way you start your day sets the tone for how your day is going to go.
When you wake up in the morning excited about the future and passionate about what you get to do today, you’ll have an extra level of energy fueling you throughout the day and you’ll constantly be looking for positive opportunities.
When you wake up in the morning dreading what may happen, you’ll feel tired all day and you’ll find the negative in almost everything.
With this in mind, it’s no surprise that extensive studies show that enthusiastic people are happier, healthier, and more successful than apathetic people.
While the benefits of enthusiasm may seem obvious, what isn’t so obvious is that enthusiasm is a choice.
Too often, we assume the way we start our day depends on how yesterday went, how well we slept, or what’s ahead on our schedule. This type of passive approach to the day is a mistake.
You must set the tone you want.
You set the tone for your day by choosing what you say to yourself first thing in the morning and deciding to be excited about what you get to do.
Get in attack mode first thing in the morning. Take charge of your self-talk. Set the tone.
Envision good things happening and decide to be enthusiastic.
Winning Self-Talk
(Try repeating the following affirmation to yourself as often as possible over the next seven days. Notice how it changes your mindset.)
“I love what I do and I attack each day with joy and enthusiasm.”
