I got an email from Perry Marshall today. It was about how to start your day with a positive focus. Here’s an excerpt:
“What’s GOOD?”
“What’s good right now? What positive thing happened yesterday? What positive thing happened today? What do you appreciate about the person you’re talking to right now?”The Strategic Coach guys finally got through to me. A couple of months ago I started a new habit. I take out this teeny little Moleskine note book, it’s maybe 2 inches by 3 inches – and I write down something positive. First thing in the morning.
That all by itself isn’t enough. I don’t know anyone who prays or meditates who doesn’t think it’s the most healthy thing they do all day. But writing down one or two or three sentences in that tiny notebook is what gets me STARTED.
If it was a BIG notebook and I had to write a couple of paragraphs, it would never get done. My brain’s a little sludgy at 7:30 in the morning. But I can do 2 or 3 sentences.
The thing we all have the hardest time doing is getting started. Writing down two or three things that are positive, that’s the first 20%.
Now the train is rolling down the tracks.
