Some days are hard really hard.

Everything is a struggle.  Your thinking is not always clear.

A few days ago the day was particularly difficult. There were so many challenges.

There were times when I wanted to just give up on the day, throw in the towel.

I was particularly challenged in how I framed my experiences that day.

I automatically wanted to frame my day as a bad day.

I could hear myself saying , wow you are having such a bad day.

But, then I had to stop and give myself time to breathe and reflect. Then I could reframe my outlook.

Sure I had some challenging experiences that day but that did not in any way, shape, or form make the day a bad day.

It was actually a really good day. There was so much that was great on that day. Taking the time out, to reframe my thinking had a major impact on what I accomplished thereafter and my interactions with my husband and children. For me, that is growing and that is what we should aspire to every day, grow in some area.

One of the most important things to remember as you redesign your life is that being successful is a lot about how you approach something.
