Your morning routine sets up your emotional state. Done correctly, you're experiencing abundant joy. Then, you leave the comforts of your home and someone cuts you off on the road. Another driver closes in so tightly behind you that you can see his eyeballs glaring at you because you're driving too slow for his comfort zone. Suddenly, your morning joy turns to anger and you succumb to your surroundings. I have a new idea for you. It's more of a challenge. Consider all these distractions as opponents in a game you're playing. Win this game and you get a full day of peace and happiness. Pretend each of these negative people that encroach your space is playing the same game but their goal is to steal your joy and they don't really play by any rules. That means you must expect the unexpected. You must plan for all kinds of sneaky tricks. Protect your joy at all costs.
This game is played daily. Your goal is to see how far you can go in a day before the dark side scores. Track how many times they found a way to steal your joy. The longer you play this game, the better you will get. If you manage to win and keep your morning joy until you go to bed, repeat this again the next day. Can you go two days in a row? How about three? Is it possible to reach a one-week streak? Remember, you're playing against yourself. Every day is a new day. Have a great day.
