You Are Shifting Atmospheres and You Don't Even Realize It

“Hey you!
Let's just say you are like me and are not crushing it today. You set good intentions for the week and even though it's only Monday, your to-do list already seems daunting. You're exhausted. The ignored dishes are filling the kitchen sink. The clothes are in the dryer for the third time. You truly feel like you are running on empty- just like that low fuel light that you have ignored for days. You are late to work. Your body and your heart are both overworked and overwhelmed. Then a stranger throws you a genuine smile. They don't know about any of your troubles, but they are truly moved when your presence hits the room. Energy does not lie- you are shifting atmospheres and you don't even realize it. You're a vibe.
Give yourself some grace. Have you eaten something today? Have you had something to drink that isn't coffee or Diet Coke? Have you wiggled your toes in the grass?
Sometimes all you need is to have another soul look you in the eyes and say, "Thank you for waking up today. In a sometimes cruel world, I see you."
Maybe you experienced a magnificent start-of-the-week revelation today. Maybe your biggest accomplishment was getting out of bed. Wherever you are in life, it is right where you are suppose to be. Embrace it and don't forget to take care of yourself.
Happy Monday- PASS IT ON!”#thehappymondayproject
