The Early Bird Catches The Worm.

10:56 AM

What’s the first thought that goes through your mind when you wake up in the
morning? Is it “Oh Noooo, its 7!!!!!! If that’s how you start your day, then it’s likely your day will be filled with stress and frustration.

One question to ask every morning. What am I grateful for? You should start every single day with an attitude of gratitude. This is probably the simplest way to actually do that. If you ask yourself this question enough days in a row, you will wake up feeling on top of the world every single day. As you start to view your life and the world around you as full of things to be grateful for, you’re going to bring more and more of that into your life. We all have lots to be grateful for but we often get caught up in all the things that are wrong with our lives. Hopefully this will enable you shift your focus.

Simple Ways to Change Your Morning Routine
I wish to give some consideration to changing up how you start your day. In addition to power questions I encourage you to start your day in a more peaceful, quiet way then you have in the past.  You’ll find that the impact this will have on you both physically and mentally will quite powerful.
1.     
         Picture an ideal morning.
This is one of those rare situations where you actually can make your fantasy a reality. Picture yourself as the morning person you want to become. What do your mornings consist of? Are you quietly drinking your coffee? Reading a book? Also, what’s the atmosphere like? This will help you lay the groundwork for what will later become your morning routine.

2.      Let go.
Throw away every misconception embedded in your mind, and start this day with a clean ground. The only way you’ll succeed is if your mind remains open and free of negativity.
3. 
         One barrel at a time.
Take note of what time you wake up now and when you’d like to wake up from now on. Set your alarm for 15 to 30 minutes earlier, and once you’re comfortable getting up at that time, set it earlier again, and again, until you’re comfortably waking up at your new early time.
4
  .      Don’t turn on the Computer/ Mobile or TV.
The first thing you would probably be doing every single morning is turn on the computer/ mobile or TV. Starting your brain off with so much information overload right when you wake up can’t possibly be healthy. I would say to just enjoy your coffee or breakfast for about twenty minutes. Turning on the TV is one of the most insidious things you can do. The news can have such a negative impact on you that you might not even realize it. The news is generally about everything that’s wrong in the world and this is the first thing you become exposed to in the morning.
5
   .      Reading Spiritual books/ Soothing music.
Try to find uplifting habits or music that has peaceful melodies. One of the best times to listen to a self-help books or program is right when you wake up. Think about how the effect this will have on you if you do this for about thirty days. If you listen to inspirational/uplifting material right when you wake up, then you will eventually condition that message into your mind and connect it with waking up in the morning.
6.
         Meditate.
One of the most challenging things about meditating is to free you from negative thoughts. Early in the morning your mind is in a fairly quiet state and even five to ten minutes of deep centred relaxation/meditation can make a huge difference in your day.
