"Good afternoon!" – we hear this phrase every day and don’t even think about its meaning. Sometimes we are in a bad mood and it seems to us that the day is not only good, it is simply terrible. This is a deep misconception and a gross mistake. The day cannot be bad, if only because we have the opportunity to live it. And all sorts of troubles are just a reason to make us stronger, wiser and more experienced. Let's spend today in a good mood, and let the quotes and sayings from our selection help us with this!

Sometimes it seems to us that days are just gray everyday life. In fact, everything is in our hands and at any moment we can “color” everyday life with colorful paints. For this you need very little. Sometimes it’s enough to look out the window and admire nature, go for a walk in the park, call to a loved one or just say “I love you!” and hear in response “I love you too!” Every new day is a great opportunity to change yourself and your life, it’s a reason to become happier than yesterday.

Every person has special days, unlike others, those that are remembered for a lifetime. It could be the day we first declared love, a prom, a wedding day, a baby's birthday, or simply the day we discovered a new writer or tried a special coffee that has since become a habit.

In each of our lives there are days of great events, and there are also those that, at best, are marked only by some small joy - like a rare ray of sunshine that unexpectedly breaks through the autumn clouds. However, between these extremes there is a desirable middle - days when we simply feel good, on which we feel some rare, surprisingly accurate consonance with ourselves and our own life in general. We almost never think about where such days come from and why it happens this way. Most often we just say: “I like it.” “In fact, this is one of the most amazing experiences,” reflects existential therapist Svetlana Krivtsova. “It doesn’t matter to us what exactly awakened it in us, but in it we find the source of energy and our very life.”

We will not always call the day good from which we were able to extract the maximum benefit. It happens that a person returns home in the evening with the feeling that he is about to literally collapse under the weight of fatigue and past events, but at the same time he also feels a calm, warm joy from the fact that he finally brought this day to an end. And maybe just the way he wanted it... To understand what determines whether our day will be good and what we can do to make it so - this is probably what is called “art” live". And it depends only on us whether we want to comprehend it.

« I was seventeen when I brought home my first paycheck. I went to night school and worked as a welder. I remember how I counted a hundred new, crisp, one-ruble bills in front of my mother and gave almost all of them to her. She sat and looked at me, then at this money and was happy. And we both felt that day that I was a man who could protect and support her. The working day itself was also a pleasure for me. I had a thirst for a hero that killed the fear of dangerous work. I felt important, irreplaceable. You live in this state, trying not to make mistakes and always behave with dignity.

Now, for me, a good day is one in which I lose myself. You need to drive yourself out of this day so that your spirit is not there! Peer into others, perceive even bad events from a distance, do not try to please or say “something like that.” You need to return to your place in the evening to mentally live this day again, think about what you managed to do and what you haven’t done yet.”

« It's sunny in the no man's land between the inner and outer worlds. From the speaker at the border booth you can hear: “Welcome to a new happy day!” I'm crossing the border. And “once again I’m flying from Moscow to Odessa.” I have a meeting. I'm getting there. I'm dialing from below. And in response... “Oh, the meeting is postponed until tomorrow!” The workaholic’s immune system immediately releases antibodies to resist chronic bungling. Need to go for a walk. Physics versus chemistry. Trying to get out of my grumbling inner monologue, I find myself on Primorsky Boulevard. It is rainy. Deserted. But the wet bench under the plane trees is the same border booth. "Welcome home!" Like a year ago, when I missed the ferry in Utah and instead of my worries I received the peace of a Martian sunset over the Venusian marinas of the most extraterrestrial state in America. Happiness is a race. But if in the middle through and through happy life at least occasionally there wouldn’t be just calm, static days - how can you tell which side of the border you’re on?”

« A day can be considered good if there was more good in it than bad, if there is a feeling of moving forward, if answers to some questions have been found. The more complex they are, the more fun, of course. Most often, these “puzzles” are related to work. I remember filming for Leonid Parfenov’s “Namedni”: everything was fast, nervous, with long business trips... We had such a concept as “Friday to Sunday night.” At this time, I, like our entire team, was frantically finishing the texts and editing the plot. And Sunday was almost always a very good day. Because there was that same feeling of a puzzle being completed, a job done, a feeling of pleasant fatigue. There are similar days in my life now, but then it was a special pleasure: the first real big and responsible work. In addition, over the years I have become pickier, I notice more shortcomings and think more often about what could be done better. I haven’t had the feeling that everything has been done for a long time.”

« Days in the colony are no different from each other. Everything is scheduled down to the minute; prisoners don’t have to think about anything: they are fed, taken to work and brought back. Because of this, sooner or later every person turns into a robot, and his life becomes a continuous “Groundhog Day”. And if a day is somehow different from others, it is remembered for a long time and gives strength to live... I remember, on the eve of one New Year, it suddenly turned out that half of the administration was going on vacation. And we decided to arrange a real holiday for ourselves. They appeared from somewhere Christmas decorations, banned in the colony, we selflessly made lanterns from colored paper, designed and hung beautiful boxes where we threw congratulations for each other... Good mood, a good day in a colony is a rarity. And in order not to go crazy, I learned to notice and appreciate every little thing that could make my life brighter and brighter for a little while. It started to rain - good, no need to go for exercises. The sun came out - great, you can hide around the corner and sunbathe. Or maybe just - oh, happiness! “No one was summoned to the authorities and no one was punished for anything.”

In 2004, Zara Murtazalieva was accused of preparing an explosion in the Okhotny Ryad shopping center on Manezhnaya Square in Moscow. Despite statements by human rights activists that the case was fabricated, she spent eight and a half years in prison.

Believers thank the Almighty for the opportunity to live another day, asking to bless them to do spiritual work, to do good deeds, to serve God and people. By reading prayers in the morning, the believer transfers himself and his destiny into the hands of the Lord, and thereby protects himself from troubles and troubles.

How does morning prayer help?

Morning and evening are the time to communicate with dear people and the Creator. Just as our loved ones wait for greetings in the morning and good night wishes before going to bed, the Almighty waits for our prayers.

Morning prayer rules are read immediately after waking up

Reading prayers is one of the indispensable components of spiritual life, the path to change and purification of the soul. By turning to God, we educate our soul and follow the path to Him.

The Holy Fathers said that sincere prayer is the hardest work on Earth. A lot of time passes before the Lord gives grace from reading prayers. But every Christian must go through this difficult path. Communicating with God, a person learns to cleanse his soul from sins and thoughts from evil. During prayer, believers praise the Creator, submit their lives to His will, and ask for help and protection.

About prayer:

Psalm 90

Millions of Christians consider Psalm 90 to be the strongest weapon against any evil. Unfortunately, many people remember it only in difficult times, when they want to protect themselves from trouble or cope with an illness. A Christian should read this psalm every morning. Starting the day by reading Psalm 90, a person reminds himself that nothing is impossible for those who trust in the Lord, and no evil will happen to those who have chosen Him as their protectors.

Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words, His splash will overshadow you, and under His wing you hope: His truth will surround you with weapons. Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies during the day, from the thing that passes in the darkness, from the cloak, and from the demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will fall at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, otherwise you will look at your eyes, and you will see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not approach your body, as His Angel commanded you to keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, but not when you dash your foot on a stone, step on an asp and a basilisk, and cross a lion and a serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and because I have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will overcome him, and I will glorify him, I will fill him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.

Prayer of the Optina elders at the beginning of the day

One of the best morning prayers is considered to be the “Prayer of the Optina Elders”. It creates a positive attitude towards completing all important tasks.

Interesting to know! The Optina elders are an example of true service to God. These are residents of the Optina Monastery who abandoned all worldly goods in order to completely devote themselves to serving the Almighty.

Icon of the Optina Elders

They suggested the right path to those who had just decided to come to faith, and helped those who were in trouble. Their prayers help believers in difficult times, in times of spiritual turmoil.

Lord, give me s peace of mind to meet everything that the coming day will bring me. Let me completely surrender to Your holy will. For every hour of this day, instruct and support me in everything. Whatever news I receive during the day, teach me to accept it with a calm soul and a firm conviction that everything is Your holy will. In all my words and deeds, guide my thoughts and feelings. In all unforeseen cases, do not let me forget that everything was sent down by You. Teach me to act directly and wisely with each member of my family, without confusing or upsetting anyone. Lord, give me strength to endure the fatigue of the coming day and all the events during the day. Guide my will and teach me to pray, believe, hope, endure, forgive and love. Amen.

Prayer rule of Seraphim of Sarov

Seraphim of Sarov proposed the following prayer rule at the beginning of the day for the laity who, for some reason, are limited in time.

Read about the saint:

Icon of Seraphim of Sarov

• First you need to read the “Our Father” three times;

Our Father, who art in heaven!

Hallowed be Thy name,

may your kingdom come,

Thy will be done

as in heaven and on earth.

Give us this day our daily bread;

and forgive us our debts,

just as we also leave our debtors;

and do not lead us into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

• Then the prayer “Rejoice, Virgin Mary” is repeated three times;

Virgin Mary, Rejoice, blessed Mary, the Lord is with you. Blessed are You among women and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, for You gave birth to Christ the Savior, the Redeemer of our souls.

• The Creed is read once.

I believe in one God the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, everything visible and invisible/And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, uncreated, being with the Father, through whom everything happened. For our sake man and for our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and came into being as a man. Crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. And he ascended into heaven and sat at the right hand of the Father. And suddenly he will come with glory to judge the living and the dead, and there will be no end to his Kingdom. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord who creates life, he comes from the Father [and the Son], who is equally worshiped and glorified with the Father and the Son, spoke through the prophets .Into one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the next century. Amen.

Prayer for the beginning of any business

It happens that it is planned for the coming day an important event: exam, test at work, important meeting and so on. If a person is worried about a good outcome of the day, in addition to the usual morning rule, one should read a prayer at the beginning of any task.

Morning prayer cleanses the soul of a Christian

Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, our souls.

Bless, Lord, and help me, a sinner, to complete the work I have begun, for Your glory.

Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of Your Father without beginning, You declared with Your most pure lips that without Me you cannot do anything. My Lord, Lord, with faith in my soul and heart spoken by You, I fall down in Your goodness: help me, a sinner, to complete this work, which I have begun, in You, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, through the prayers of the Mother of God and all Your saints . Amen.

Short prayers to start the day

The modern rhythm of life dictates its own rules, and in the morning there is little time left for full communication with God. For these cases, there is a short prayer that can be said even while in bed.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen. Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.

After it, the main prayer for all Christian believers is read - “Our Father”. It is known to every person in whose heart faith in the Lord lives.

A believer finds support and consolation in prayer

Throughout the day, temptations await the soul of any Christian. In order not to succumb to temptations and to meet them with dignity, in the morning believers turn to the Mother of God with a request to protect their souls from evil spirits.

Oh, All-Merciful Lady! Protect me from evil demons that tempt me, and from crafty people, and let me understand their craftiness. Amen.

You can also turn to your Guardian Angel in the morning with a request for guidance and protection.

Angel of God, my holy Guardian! For the observance given to me by God from heaven, I diligently pray to Thee: Enlighten me today and save me from all evil, instruct me in good deeds and direct me on the path of salvation.

We should not forget to turn to the Lord throughout the day with the words: “Lord, have mercy,” “God, bless,” “Glory to Thee, O God.”

How to pray correctly

In Christianity there are no strict rules that would regulate communication with God. We learn to pray ourselves all our lives. By reading church texts compiled by saints, we gradually learn how to pray.

Addressing God in your own words is not prohibited, but praying exclusively in your own way is dangerous, because a person needs the right spiritual guidance. When a Christian approaches action consciously and puts his soul into prayer, any prayer will be correct.

To pray correctly, you need to treat the process with due attention. You should make this effort on yourself every day, remembering that the whole Christian life is an effort pleasing to God. Only those who perform it can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

What not to do during prayer

• You cannot skip the daily prayer rule.
• We must not forget that the duration of prayer should be feasible.
• You cannot recite the texts of prayers irreverently, without attention and a repentant attitude.
• It should be remembered that main mistake- lack of prayer at all.

Prayer is a kind of spiritual hygiene; every believer needs it. It cleanses the soul of a Christian, teaches him gratitude, humility and repentance. Morning prayer protects a Christian from sins, temptations and temptations, and protects him from any evil.

There are days when you wake up and realize: today the whole world is against you. The next time you have a tough day, you'll be armed with powerful ways to turn it into a good one. Another bonus: it won't cost you a penny.

1. When walking down the street, don’t look at your feet.

This technique is taught in drama schools. Such an experience opens the eyes to the world and is useful not only for the actor, but also for the mere mortal. People constantly walk with their eyes on the ground, avoiding eye contact with passersby and any interaction with society. They do not want to open up to the outside world, preferring to lock themselves inside their shell and sit peacefully inside it, undisturbed by anything. While you are looking at your feet, you are missing the whole world: passers-by, unusual clouds in the sky, the hair color of a beauty running past you - you do not see the most interesting thing. You can't see anything on the sidewalk unless you're a beetle. And you're not a bug. Look forward. This is where the action takes place. You've been walking for too long without looking and you'll never get anywhere unless you look around.

2. When traveling by car, open the windows (even if it’s cold outside)

The wind gives us a feeling of freedom and weightlessness. When the breeze blows in your face, but not with such force that it takes your breath away, it is a pleasure. You hear the sound of the wind, feel the movement of air and feel as if you are flying. Open the car windows while traveling and you can enjoy the flight without leaving the ground. The air will refresh you and fill your entire car. Even if it’s only ten degrees outside, you should take a deep breath, straighten your shoulders and thus free your head. Stretch your hand out of the window and feel the elastic wind. It's nice! The main thing is not to get sick.

3. Cook your own food

Okay, it's not exactly free, but you still have to eat on any given day, so this method counts too. In our world, the attitude towards food has incomprehensibly transformed and ceased to be natural. We have simultaneously devalued it and made it a close source of attention and even an object of worship. On the one hand, instead of thoughtfully eating with a knife and fork, we disrespectfully stuff full spoons and huge pieces into our mouths while looking at the monitor or TV screen. On the other hand, we eat too much, more than enough, being in a constant search for new products and goodies.

Go against the grain and cook your own food. Let the process take over you. Cooking is creation, and creation requires energy, attention and contemplation. Kitchen work is not a routine, but a meditation. Try it and see for yourself.

4. Physical labor

As it says folk wisdom, the best rest is a change of activity. Are you tired of mental overstrain and have lost the ability to concentrate on scrupulously completing tasks that require perseverance and attention? It's time to work with your hands!

Physical activity provokes the synthesis of endorphins, so any housework will make you happy man. Clean, nail, drink, chop, dig - there is always a lot of work at home. Once you are immersed in the process, you will notice how your mood will no longer be lousy and the excitement will overwhelm you.

5. Drink a glass of cold water or a cup of hot tea

When you drink something very hot or very cold, you may feel the liquid move down your esophagus and spread into your stomach. This is an amazing feeling! Drink ice water or hot tea - it will instantly refresh and shake you up. Do this from the very morning - let these drinks replace your ritual cup of coffee. Cold water wakes you up internal organs much faster than caffeine. Before you go to bed, drink hot tea and feel how it relaxes you from the inside. Tea bags - The best way to get the hottest possible drink, don't neglect them.

6. Explore Vine and Coub

Amazingly fun services with user-generated video content! There is no censorship on Vine, unlike Instagram - there you can watch hilariously funny videos of Roko Sifredi or unknown users using montages to perform tricks and funny transformations. Coub can cheer up even the grumpiest old man, not to mention the young ones who are quick to laugh office workers. How do people manage to create such funny videos?

7. Look through old photos on your computer or in albums

The next time you're clearing out the rubble on the mezzanine, before you raise your hand to throw away the old photo album, look through it. When you want to format a disk, look at what kind of photos are on it. Give yourself a couple of hours to groan: “How could I seriously wear something like that?” and “We should go somewhere with the dude more often, we understand each other perfectly!” Plunge into the past - this is an integral part of traveling to the future. Nostalgia is a part of life, but if something is over, it is over. Memories are good, but you can't live in them. These pictures will remind you of who you were then and how the people around you helped you become who you are now.
