How you start your day sets the tone FOR your day. ✨
Do you grab your phone and start scrolling or checking emails as soon as you open your eyes ?
Do you jump out of bed and start going with your long to do list ?
The idea is to set the pace for your day with a clear mind , clear heart and intentionally. How you feel in the presence t moment is what counts and help aids in the creation of how your day will go.
Starting your day rushed or tending to others often times keeps that momentum going.
These are a few things i like to do to center and ground myself, connect with the most high (doesn’t matter what you believe in) and set the tone for my day.
First if i have to wake up by alarm i make sure it’s something that gently wakes me up vs being yanked out of the dream world.
Waking up calmly helps my nervous system to remember we’re ok.
Second, i do a few rounds of deep breathing on a 4 count. Meaning inhale for 4 seconds , hold for 4 seconds then release for 4 seconds. This really helps me to ground into my body and be present in my being.
Then i go into prayer and gratitude. I typically open up with what I’m grateful for , pray over myself , my family and friends and i end on more gratitudes but about what I’d like to see on my day and i tend to speak as if it already happened. So as my day unfolds it’s just the physical realization of what i already set the space for that morning.
Then i like to mediate, I’ll set a timer for whatever time works for me and i sit up still in bed , close my eyes and meditate. My goal is usually to just observe and bring my awareness back to my body.
From there I’m feeling amazing, aligned and ready to take on my day! It only takes a short part of my morning and it sets the atmosphere for how i move through my day.
You should try it , i guarantee you will see a difference and notice what it feels like when you aren’t being intentional at the start of your day.
Give it a try or curate a version that works best for you!
Just Be intentional about the start to your day.✨
