Monday = Marvel

“Billy, you are like a Grow-Op!” Excuse me. “You turn people’s lights on; you are like one of those intense bulbs that produces rapid growth.” Okay, I was a little concerned about the association. “You help people grow outside of their comfort zone and become more alive.”

Each day of the week we can focus on an alliterative attitude to lighten up and love life laughing: Marvel at the people in your life, the beauty of nature, and see how much of the day you can spend in awe of life. “Show me a day when the world wasn’t new” (Sister Barbara Hance, 1928-1993). Look for the good in others and tell them what you like about them. Create a generosity of spirit.

Awaken your sense of wonder. Monday practices include paying compliments, acknowledging, praising, and appreciating the magic of life. One of the great aspects of devoting our attention to the positives is that it takes us away from the typical human tendencies to judge and criticize. We’ve all been hearing more about the Law of Attraction – you may notice that when you put your attention on the things you don’t like about people in your life, you tend to get more of what you find distasteful. If you spend the day seeking to find ways to let people know what you like and appreciate, you may find that those positive qualities become more apparent to you.
