How incredibly blessed we are that every day is a new day.
You choose what each day means to you, what you're going to do with it and how you're going to handle it. Starting your day out right is about setting your intention. You decide how you feel everyday and what you are going to accomplish. If you do not make the conscious and physical effort to tell yourself what you want, then you are letting your subconscious mind decide and do what it has been programmed and trained to do.
The fist few moments in the morning are so precious. You're in an altered state. Your subconscious mind is open to suggestion. And, if you are aware, you'll hear those subconscious thoughts as you start to wake up or as the sleepy fog begins to lift.
If you have the wherewithal, say nice things to yourself in this state.
Before you start your day, try to carve out (just) 10 or 15 minutes to write out what you'd like for the day.
Getting your head right before you start your day, sets your entire day up to be the way you want it. This is your day. You create it. You change it. You live it and you control your reactions to it.
Getting your mind where you want it to be every day will change your whole world. Yes, you need to do it everyday. Yes, it gets easier. And, yes, you can find the time. If it's important to you, you'll find away. There are more ways to get things done than there excuses to why we can't.
Taking control of your day is one of the kindest, most empowering things you can do for yourself and it only takes a few minutes each day.
We all don't have time first thing in the morning to relax and think or even have time for ourselves. If you're rushed in the morning or if your home is full of life early, do the exercises before bed or the day before (whenever you have a few minutes alone). You can reread what you've written before you start your day.
Set your intention for today.
You may find that you like to write a paragraph, a list of goals or create your own affirmation. You may find that each day is different or that you snuggle into a habit that fits you perfectly and is exactly the same everyday. Whatever you do, it's great. You're doing it and that's the point. You're telling yourself that you are serious and this is what you want for the day. It sets it up in your mind as a high priority, even if you never think about it until tomorrow morning when you're writing out your intention.
When you make this a regular part of your life, you'll find that you get more done, accomplish your goals easier and are calmer and more relaxed inside. You naturally become more in-tune with yourself because you are paying attention to yourself, you are attending to your needs and you are being very clear about what you're expecting from yourself.
When you're first starting, you want to try this different ways; you want to find what works best for you. If this seems overwhelming, use just one or two sentences and follow these simple rules:
- be clear and concise
- be specific (with what you want to accomplish)
- use the present tense
- be realistic
~ I live a spiritual life.
~ I make healthy choices for myself and my family today.
~ Today I act on the messages I receive.
~ I handle everything at work today with patience and grace.
~ I get everything done on my to do list easily
~ I choose to be fully engaged in all of my tasks today.
~ I focus on appreciating ___________ today.
As you continue this exercise (every day) you'll be surprised how much more you are enjoying your life, staying present and improving your relationships.
As simple as this may seem, the impact is huge. You'll reap the rewards of doing this regularly. You'll begin to look forward to it and trust that it works and be able to observe the impact it has had on your life.
