10 Tips For Starting Your Day by Nobody: 6:14am On Jul 28, 2016 |
How do you begin your day? Do
you feel happy or depressed,
energetic or washed out? Do you
expect a good day, or do you
think about your problems?
The way you start your day,
affects your moods and behavior,
and therefore, how people relate
to you. How you begin your day
can make your day, or break your
day.
There are some things you can do
to start a good day and keep it so.
Your thoughts, your attitude, and
your actions immediately after
waking and getting up in the
morning have a strong effect on
your whole day.
Here are 10 things to do to have
a good day. You don’t have to
follow all the 10 tips at once. If it
is easier for you, choose only one
or two, and gradually add more.
Trying to implement all the 10
right away, might lead to inner
resistance, which is not helpful.
1. Begin your preparations the
day before. Go to sleep at a
reasonable hour, so that you
have enough hours of sleep.
2. After you lie down in your bed,
don’t turn on the TV. Close your
eyes, calm your body, and repeat
several times the affirmation:
“I am going to have a good night’s
sleep, and I am going to wake up
happy, refreshed and energetic.”
Next, let your thoughts come and
go, staying calm and relaxed, not
thinking about anything in
particular, and not fighting
thoughts you do not want. Do so
until you fall asleep.
3. Upon waking up in the
morning, repeat the following
affirmation several times:
“Today, I am having a most
wonderful, happy and productive
day.”
4. Muster enough strength, and
get up, sit on your bed a few
seconds with a smile on your
face, and then stand up.
5. After washing up, sit alone for
at least 5-10 minutes to meditate.
If you usually meditate, then do
your usual mediation.
If you have never meditated, just
sit down on a chair with your back
straight, with closed or opened
eyes, as you wish. Calm your
body, and then watch your
thoughts, as they come and go.
Just watch them with lack of
interest, as if they do not belong
to you. Don’t try to follow them,
nor fight them.
6. If you have the time for
exercising or walking in the
morning that’s great, but if you
don’t, do a few exercises for a
few minutes. Any exercise will do.
This will bring more oxygen into
your lungs and energize your
blood stream.
7. It is said the breakfast is the
most important meal of the day.
It gives you the strength and
energy to start your day.
Therefore, prepare yourself
something to eat. If you don’t
have the time, then wake up a
few minutes earlier to prepare
yourself a light meal.
You will feel more energetic, and
your head will work better, if you
have breakfast in the morning.
8. Read a few inspiring quotes,
before going out to work. It would
be a good idea to prepare them
the previous day. These could be
any kind of quotes that inspire
and motivate you. You can read
different quotes every day, or you
can repeat the same ones every
day.
9. Be polite on the way to work.
Smile and greet people, whom
you know. Don’t try to ignore
them or show them an unhappy
face.
10. When you arrive at your place
of work, and just before going in,
repeat in your mind the following
sentence:
“I am happy and relaxed. Today
is a wonderful and a most
productive day.”
These tips will make you feel
better and happier, and become
more positive and energetic.
When you are happy, positive
and in a good mood, you
broadcast these vibrations
around you, affecting other
people and your environment
accordingly |
