10 Sticky Notes We Should All Read Every Morning for at Least a Month

Where you ultimately end up greatly depends on your daily attitude and response.This morning one of our clients, Monica — a victim of a fairly recent and debilitating car accident — was smiling from ear to ear the minute our FaceTime coaching session began. “What has you in such good spirits today?” I asked her. “I’m thinking better about things today — about how lucky I am to be alive,” she replied. “I thought the injuries I sustained in that accident last year signified the end of life as I know it, but now I realize they signify the beginning.”All details aside, Monica decided to begin again, in her mind first and then in her life.

It’s taken her several months of healing and practice, but she has gradually let go of the “shoulda, woulda, coulda” attachments in her head about her circumstances.

And she has stepped forward with grace, determination, and a positive mindset.Let’s follow Monica’s lead and practice thinking better as we journey through the first quarter of the year, so we can begin to build momentum, together, as we move forward…It’s all about keeping the right thoughts top of mind from the get-go every day so they’re readily available in the moments when we need them most.

For Monica, that has meant deliberately reflecting on what she needs to remember. To make this practice seamless she writes important reminders on sticky notes and then puts them up where she can see them first thing in the morning (a few of her sticky notes are up on the wall in her bedroom, and she has a few more on her bathroom mirror and refrigerator).Monica’s sticky notes keep her on track by keeping her mind inspired with positive, proactive reminders, even when she’s struggling.
