Each morning signifies a fresh start and a new perspective. It is a chance for us to live the day on a clean slate.

But how we start the morning can also have an impact on the rest of our day.

The better our morning hours, the more likely we are to have a productive and meaningful day.

Which means we need to curate each day to ensure it starts on a strong and positive note.

Do you agree?

I know that being intentional with my mornings has been instrumental to my work output.

One way I do this is to infuse my mind with inspirational and encouraging quotes, words, and messages.

This is one of the reasons receiving or sending inspiring good morning messages can impact the trajectory of your day and that of the recipient.

You message may be the very thing they need to get out of a funk or brighten an otherwise dreary day. It could also give them a reason to smile/ grin and remind them that they are loved.

With all these reasons, I imagine you are ready to check out these 65 sweet and inspiring morning messages that are sure to elevate the day.

When should You send Good Morning Notes?

This may seem strange to you, but did you know that timing also matters? Sending these messages just at the right time, where they are likely to see and read is so much better than when they are harried and in a hurry.

If you are sending personalised physical notes, then you could consider these options:

1. On their pillow or on their vanity desk for those who live with you.
2. On the table mat just before breakfast
3. In their lunch box

If you are sending virtual good morning messages, then you should consider sending it early enough, so it is one of the first things they see when they unlock their phones.

Remember that the idea is to enliven their day with your morning message, which means you should send it in the morning not midday or in the evening.

This is still okay even if they don’t read it until later.

How often should I send these encouraging messages?

It depends. Everyone is different, and you also do not want to start something you are unable to continue.

But I imagine sending these messages a couple of times a week will be meaningful to them if their love language is words of affirmation.

Infuse Your Day with Positive Vibes

One major lesson I have learnt is that “what we focus on expands”. If we focus on positive thoughts and ideas, they will influence our day and make it brighter. Same goes for negative thoughts and doubt.

So, today is a remind to build a positive fortress around your mind with these messages, quotes and positive stories.

Summer is almost upon us and what better way to prepare for this activity laden season than with a plan and some structure.

I have found journaling to be a powerful way to start my planning process as it helps me determine the core parts of my goals and the things that matter to me.

However, I also know that it can be difficult to identify where to start or what to write about. Which is where journaling prompts come in.

Journaling prompts are like keys to hidden doors within the mind – they unlock your thoughts, emotions, and ideas and reveal the depth that is cloaked within.

Why are Journaling Prompts Important:

1. They provide Structure and Inspiration.

One of the core uses of journaling prompts is to provide inspiration so you’re not stuck staring at a blank page with no idea of where to start.

2. Guide Your Reflection and Spark Creativity.

Journaling prompts can go beyond the surface and delve into deeper layers of of your experience and imagination to uncover the treasures of your subconscious mind.

3. Make room for Self-Discovery.

It is one thing to ask nice-sounding superficial questions, but another to ask questions that will make you think. I may feel awkward at first, but such prompts will take you on an unexpected journey within yourself, which are always the best kinds.

4. Help to Process Emotions and Clarify Goals.

Journaling prompts can help you examine your thoughts and emotions to determine your motivation and the guiding force of your actions. These are critical in clarifying and fine tuning our goals.

5. A means for Emotional Expression.

Journaling prompts can be used to give words to our emotions and feelings.

Why should I journal for summer break?

Journaling is a lifestyle practice, and it is relevant at any time or season of the year. It is particularly relevant during this season as the allure of good weather and loads of summer activities may mean we just go with the flow rather than prepare for an epic summer season.

I believe mindful summer planning will help you get intentional this season, and ensure you hit your summer goals (and bucket lists), while also investing in your personal growth and self-care over the summer months.

When I think about how destructive the cycle of negative thinking can be, one particular story comes to mind.

It happened a couple of years ago.

I had just had a bad presentation. While speaking I felt my voice go wobbly and i mumbled through most of the words. I forgot most of the things I had planned to say and stopped way earlier than the time allotted. To say I was mortified would be an understatement. I was so ashamed and couldn’t believe what had just happened.  I had been one of the people representing my team project and I felt like I had let the team down.

After the call, I felt terrible and couldn’t even reach out to my teammates.

Now, it wasn’t competition just a presentation about our progress on a project. 

But for the rest of that day, I moved around with a dour expression and kept reliving the cringe-worthy moments. You can imagine that the rest of my day didn’t go so well after that.

My thoughts spiralled and I started labelling myself as a poor presenter, as someone who couldn’t string two sentences together.

It took a stark look at my actions a few days later to realise that I had allowed one singular event to spoil the rest of my week.

Have you ever experienced something like this?

After my experience, I started reading about negative thinking, and I came across an interesting research that showed:

About 75% of our thinking time is spent on negative thoughts.

Did you catch that?

Not 20%, 30% or even 50% but a full on 75%. That’s 45,000 negative thoughts a day

And the evidence was right there before me as I had spent most of the other day bemoaning my terrible presentation skills. 

This got me thinking back to the power of our thoughts and how our thoughts control our mental health.

The Cycle of Negative Thinking 

The truth is that it’s so easy to lose ourselves in negative and pessimistic thoughts.

Our minds are quick to dwell on the things that didn’t go well, things that could have been better and things we failed to do. 

It would have been nice if these thoughts were opportunities to learn and do better. 

Most times they are not. 

They are moments when we bash ourselves and talk down on ourselves.

Let’s do a little exercise:

What were you thinking about just before you clicked on this post? Would you say your thoughts were positive or negative?

What about 2hours before? 

Do you find that you’re often burdened with warring thoughts?

Perhaps you even find it hard to fall asleep because you keep reliving how bad your day, year, or life is! 

I know so many people who keep reliving past pains and regrets including broken relationships and financial mistakes.

These thoughts then clutter their minds making it impossible to make room for light and truth to dwell there.

And it gets worse.

The more we spend time on negative thoughts, the more we reinforce our fears, and start to believe the lies we tell ourselves.

For instance, from dwelling on the bad presentation, I soon found myself doubting my skills, and believing that my teammates were disappointed in me.

I started interpreting their actions considering what had happened. A frown meant they were annoyed with me, and silence meant they hated me.

And each thought led to another and soon I was inundated with all my failings and what I “thought” people thought of me.

It’s funny now but it felt so real back then.

What about you?

Have you ever found yourself in a cycle of negative thinking, where each thought seems to reinforce the one before making you spend even more time bemoaning your situation? 

You probably have.

Do you sometimes wish your mind would just quiet down?

Here are 7 things you can do to free yourself from harmful thoughts. 

Seven steps to stop the cycle of negative thinking. 

Before I list these seven steps, I would like to mention that this cycle of negative thinking is often caused by internal and external expectations. We often have these ideas of the kind of person we should be, or the kind of person others expect us to be and when this doesn’t happen, it’s easy to beat ourselves up for not measuring up. 

1. Acknowledge what’s going on 

The first step is to acknowledge what you’re going through. We need to accept that we are going down the deep end and need to get ourselves out of the cycle of negative thinking. 

2. Take a deep breath 

Breathe!

We often underestimate the power of taking a deep breath when we are agitated or worried. Studies show that taking a deep breath ..

Taking a deep breath gives us a chance to calm down, it’s a way to clear the fog hanging over our minds in that moment.

I do agree that it is no silver bullet, but it can go a long way to help you stop the cycle of negative thinking.

3. Ask for Help!

When I found myself struggling to get over my experience and the thoughts warring through my mind, I had to reach out for help. 

I prayed.

I asked God to help me quiet my mind and its insistence to dwell on unhelpful thoughts. 

4. Reframe the Issues

The prayer helped to centre me and allowed me to look at the situation objectively.

I knew I had to reframe the issues. In this instance, the issue was with inadequate presentation skills. I also had to reframe the fact that a bad presentation didn’t make me a bad person or a failure. 

I was also able to pinpoint the emotions coursing through me before, during and after the presentation.

This reframing stage is time for self-awareness and self-love.

5. Shine Light on your Thoughts

Shame thrives in secret.

Our fears are amplified in the dark, in those secret thoughts that we do not and cannot share with others. And this is why we need to be intentional about knowing ourselves better. Being aware of your emotions and your penchant to think in certain (destructive) ways is important to enable you address the problem.

6. Learn from that experience 

Our past experiences can be powerful tools in our growth and progress if channelled appropriately. But as I mentioned before, we are often more likely to focus on the bad rather than the good that can come from the bad. 

We must be intentional about taking the lessons from our past experiences and ignoring the rest, if not, we may find ourselves back in that cycle of guilt and shame.

7. Live in truth

Living in truth is not a one-off exercise.

After all, you could say I should know better. That I should be able to arrest the negative and destructive thoughts. But that is easier said than done.

Living in God’s truth is a daily (hourly) exercise of faith and obedience.

It means feeding on God’s truth about you, what he says about you and not what you think the situation or experience dictates.

It is the truth and only the truth that can set us free. 

One word that seems to resonate with me when I think of spring is joy. This may be because spring marks the renewal and reinvigoration of life from the dormancy of winter.

Spring is a season of rebirth.

It is a time where the chill of winter disperses to make room for foliage and greens, and the landscape is once again lush with a cacophony of flowers and plants.

The best part is that we can also experience this beautiful beginning in every area of our lives. We get a chance to clear out the old – old mindsets and ideas that no longer serve us and invite the new – new ways, new and better habits that will lead to our growth and advancement.

Are you ready for some much-needed spring cleaning?

10 Incredible things you can do this Spring Season

1. Review your new year goals to track your progress.

 Spring presents an awesome opportunity to check you progress on your new year goals and resolutions. This will help you determine where you need to improve, and perhaps whether you need to tweak some or all your goals in line with your current realities.

You may find that some things are no longer relevant or that they need to be amended in line with the new knowledge or experience you have garnered over the last few months.

Doing this will set you up for a more productive and effective spring season.

2. Declutter Your Space

One of the hallmarks of spring season is the opportunity to declutter. Decluttering is not just about cleaning out your home and getting rid of the things you do not need; it also extends to decluttering our minds and our digital space.

Over the last few weeks, I have been doing a much-needed digital declutter – removing unused files and duplicate files, streamlining my folders and files, and it’s been such a refreshing experience.

In Marie Kondo’s incredible self-help book, The Life changing Magic of Tidying Up, she shares some great tips for decluttering, including to adopt an element of love and joy in determining the things we should hold on to and those that need to go.

3. Take a Weekend Trip.

Now that the weather is hopefully better, this is a great time to finally take that weekend trip you have been talking about. You could consider a spring break trip or just take a road trip alone or with some friends.

This is an opportunity to explore new places or see old places with new eyes. It doesn’t have to break the bank or last too long.

A trip to a major city in your state or one of the cities closest to you will do. One thing I have learned about traveling is that is not always about the place but about the mindset you have when you’re there.

4. Explore a Money-Making Idea.

You probably have plans of making more money this year. Now is a good time to try out a money-making idea.

In a previous post, I shared 20 Simple Ways you can Generate more Income this year. One of fastest ways to do so is to sign up as a freelancer on a site like Fiverr, where you can offer different services and start earning money almost immediately. You can offer content writing, editing and even design services.

Sign up today and start your journey to more income and lasting wealth.

5. Learn Something New.

A new season is a good time to learn something new. This could be one of the things you had listed in your new year goals at the beginning of the year, or it could be an idea that came up recently that you wish to explore.

When it comes to trying out new things, I usually suggest you try out something practical like learning a new skill, a new language, or a musical instrument. These are usually things you can apply right away, which will encourage you to keep going.

6. Revisit Your Health.

If you’re anything like me then you may be living below your health goals. It’s one thing to set health goals (which is always a good idea) but it is quite another to follow through and remain consistent.

Like we said in our 9 Healthy Lifestyle Habits, good health is borne from a healthy and consistent lifestyle not just one-off moments.

7. Try out a new self-care routine.

Self-care is one of the most powerful ways to feed our souls. It is our minds way to remind us of what we need at the most rudimentary level.

Self-care here refers to the

If you are not already practicing any self-care activities right now, then you should check out this post and this post where I share over 20 ideas of self-care practices you can implement for a happier and more balanced life.

8. Start a Daily Gratitude Journaling Habit.

This season is a good time to invest in a consistent journaling habit. There are many benefits to this such as giving you a chance to process your thoughts, keeping you in a positive frame of mind, and the more gratitude your express; the more you get to experience good things.

9. Reconnect with long-lost friends.

Spring presents another opportunity to reach out to the people that used to matter to you. This may have been people you lost touch with due to the busyness of life or because your paths no longer cross like before (not because you had a major falling out or hate each other’s guts lol).

You could send them an email or a personalised thank you note reminding them of something nice and thoughtful they did for you in the past.

You can take it up a notch by inviting them for drinks or dinner.

10. Build Your Dream Life

This season is a great time to invest into your dream life. This will mean different things for each of us.

What are your dreams? How are you going about fulfilling them? When I ask about your dream life, I am not just talking about the things you want to accomplish in the next few weeks and months, but also your mid to long-term plans.

Use this season to revisit and review your plans and keep pushing until your see all your dreams come true.

If you need more support or structure to achieve your dream life, then you should join the waitlist to My Dream Life Accountability Program.

Let Your Life Overflow with Joy

I love the energy I experience in the spring season. It is a reminder that each day is a brand new slate and we get to choose how we want to live it. This spring is no different. As

As the plants and animals come out of hibernation, and the world is filled with more colour, beauty and light are everywhere. I hope these enliven your mood and sweeten your days. Whatever you do, I hope you make the most of this spring season.
