STARTING YOUR DAY FOR SUCCESS
No one knows what tomorrow will bring, but did you know that the happiest and most successful people on the planet take steps to ‘Design their Day’?
Meditation is a great way to refocus.
Why The Morning Is So Important
Your mornings are the most important part of the day. Say YES to your day, introducing positive routines and habits into your mornings. The way you start your day has a massive impact on how you experience the rest of the day.
Starting Your Day On a Positive Note
- QUIET TIME: Start every morning with a period of purposeful silence. If this is new to you, start with just a few minutes sitting in silence, closing your eyes, relaxing your body, and focusing on your breath.
- AFFIRMATIONS: Create new positive stories or affirmations about what you want and, more importantly, who you are. Direct your mind to think in a positive and focused way.
- VISUALISE: Picture in your mind what you want to experience in your day, what you need to do and the person you need to be.
- READ: Spend a few minutes reading something inspiring that develops you personally.
- EXERCISE: Exercise or even stretching helps you lift your mood and boosts not just your physical, but also your mental state.
- MUSIC: Listen to music that makes you feel good.
Score your mornings on a scale of 1 to 10 then ask yourself, what can I do to improve my score?
