| 0:00.0 | Hey ladies, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. We all have those days when we wake up on the wrong side of the bed. |
| 0:08.6 | And I just had one this morning. What happened? Well, I went to bed very early last night, 9 p.m. |
| 0:15.5 | I was going to have a great night of sleep and get up at 5. I love doing that. And one of my kids, who shall not be named, |
| 0:24.2 | knocked on my door, asking me to sign a form. School's not even in session. So the whole thing |
| 0:30.1 | boggles my mind. What kind of form could that person need sign? So I said, no, no, no. |
| 0:36.7 | Please go away. I'm sleeping. Okay, I fall back to sleep. |
| 0:41.3 | I'm just getting in deep to my sleep cycle. And knock, knock, knock. Hey, mom, do you know where the |
| 0:48.9 | casidias are? And I'm like, no way. No way. The sleeping bear is starting to growl inside of me. So I just start to go back |
| 1:00.3 | to sleep. And sure enough, some thumping for the thumping was happening in the kitchen below our |

| 1:19.6 | this morning, I felt low energy and grumpy. And I don't like feeling that way. I knew it was a problem |
| 1:27.3 | when my husband was walking through the room and I don't like feeling that way. I knew it was a problem when my husband was walking |
| 1:29.8 | through the room and I happened to notice his sideburns. They're not cut right. And of course, |
| 1:34.6 | I need to say something. Hey, your sideburns look really crazy. What happened to them? |
| 1:40.5 | And so that's when I, as I heard myself saying this, I thought, you know, okay, I'm really off. I'm |
| 1:45.4 | being mean. How am I going to fix this? And that's what this happy bit is about. What do you do |
| 1:50.2 | when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Well, I have three suggestions. First, go get out a journal |
| 1:58.2 | and write down 10 things you're grateful for. Start shifting your mood back into the place of positivity. |
| 2:04.0 | Then grab your vision journal and write down those things you want to have happen in your life as if they've already happened. |
| 2:11.9 | You're getting a grip back on what you want, what feels good, what your best self will be, and write it as if it's already real. |
