The Rational Mind vs. The Morning Checklist

I've developed a very negative spiritual habit; perhaps you've got this problem too. When I wake up in the morning, I first evaluate how I physically feel. Then step two, I analyze how and why I might feel that way. For example, if my back is sore, I'll sit and think about how much lifting I did, how much of the day was I carrying around my three-year-old son, etc.. Well, anylyzing our physical ailments is not necessarily a bad thing, in fact, that's why doctors are still in business. Here's where it gets sticky. After I go through the physical checklist (Is my problem hip and knee sore?, are my eyes dry?, are any joints stiff?, etc), I sometimes switch to analyzing the spiritual aspects of my life in the same way - again, not necessarily a bad thing if done in light of God's grace, love, and forgiveness. If, for example, I happen to wake-up feeling refreshed, with no guilt or regrets, or with a spring in my step, the first thing I do is to go into analyzation mode as to what I did to make this happen. Did I accomplish all of my ministry goals the day before? Did I exert the right amount of authority and leadership? Did I stay well-hydrated?, Did I eat right? Did I spend enough time with the family? I guess you probably see the problem here. The truth is, I believe that somedays God just blesses us. Plain and simple. No strings attached. There are always habits that we can develop that can help us feel better, no doubt. But, I think we're too busy with trying to figure out what we have done to make ourselves feel good, than just simply to allow us to let go and just simply say, "God, thanks for helping me to wake up blessed!" So, tomorrow morning, no matter how you feel, give God the glory - and don't let your rational mind overanalyze your morning checklist!
