“Even the worst days only last 24 hours.”

Transcribed from the podcast “Self Improvement Daily”.

I’m honored to inject a little positivity in your day! We can always use a little more am I right? But in speaking about positivity today, let me first address the opposite — hardship. In life there are things that happen, challenges that test us to our core. Maybe the odds are stacked against you, or you’re at the mercy of things that are beyond your control. It might not be fair, and there might not be a solution, but you need to pull through anyway. Well, in light of those situations, it is possible to hit a mental reset to improve the situation if you’ll allow it.

Today’s quote from @positivethinkingonly is “Even the worst days only last 24 hours.”

When experiencing hardship, or difficulty, you can frame the events in a certain way to help them be less severe. A new day is a new opportunity, and if needed, you can reset your emotions and build them back up from scratch.

This is a concept Admiral William McRaven shared in his famous commencement speech — he talks about the value of making your bed every day because no matter what happens, coming home to a made bed reminds you that something went right and it gives you optimism for tomorrow. Similarly, when putting your head down at night, you can choose to be optimistic about how things will be the next day. And it’s funny the way it works out. Often times the energy you put out brings that energy back to you. So with positivity and optimism that the new day will bring relief, you are more likely to find the relief you are seeking.

Can you think of one time when your bad days every lasted longer than 24 hours? I can’t. Welcome the new day with a new attitude and things will begin improving before your eyes!
