When I first woke up, I felt dread and overwhelm, and felt I need to do something about this for I know the battle is won or lost in the mind.

Then the word perspective came to me and I gained thoughts relating to it and wrote the following with help of my word processor to re-word it.

I don’t usually use it but it came out pretty good reorganizing my own thoughts.

Change Your Perspective and Save Your Day!

When you first wake up, what’s the first thought or feeling that comes to mind?

Is it the overwhelming list of tasks ahead and the dread that sets in?

The battle for your day begins in your mind, and it’s where the enemy either wins or loses.

Here are some choices and good habits you can start making as soon as you wake up:

• Choose to smile: A simple smile can brighten your mood, your face, and even your overall well-being.
• Reframe your thoughts: Instead of saying, “I have to do this,” say, “I get to do this.”
  This shift in perspective can change your attitude and make the task seem less daunting.
• Find joy in the little things: Take a moment to appreciate the things you have to take care of, like your home, your family, and your kitchen.
  Be thankful for the things you have and the strength you have to get up and do them.
• Take small steps: Don’t try to complete a big task all at once.
  Take small steps towards it. For example, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by cleaning the kitchen, set a timer for fifteen minutes and start cleaning.
  You might find that you can do it in fifteen minutes, and then another fifteen, and then an hour, and the task will be done.

Remember, you can do anything for fifteen minutes.

Set a timer and start cleaning the kitchen, or take any other task that seems overwhelming.

You might be surprised at how much you can accomplish in a short amount of time.

Yolanda Ballard of At The Father’s Feet website, shares with you, the body of Christ, the words she’s received quietly sitting at The Father’s feet. I believe Jesus set the example for us to follow. Whenever He could He would come apart from the busyness of the world so that He could quiet Himself before The Father, for that is where He received direction and strength to carry out His will.
