WAYS TO CHANGE YOUR MORNING ROUTINE I want you to give some critical consideration to changing up how you start your day. I encourage you to start your day in a more peaceful, quiet way than you have in the past. I think you’ll find that the impact this will have on you both physically and mentally will be quite powerful and fulfilling. 1. DONT TURN ON YOUR COMPUTER OR TV: As a writer on different platforms, the first thing I would do every single morning is turn on the computer. Even if you are not a blogger or a writer you may have a tendency to turn on the computer right when you wake up. Starting your brain off with so much information overload right when you wake up can’t possibly be healthy. I encourage you to just enjoy your light tea, coffee or breakfast for about 20 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. One thing that we know from years of self help and personal development is that our minds tend to be extremely receptive in the morning. That’s why I encourage you not to turn on the TV if you’ve been doing it. 2. LISTEN TO MUSIC/SOMETHING UPLIFTING - Like messages from great men of GOD: I love listening to music and when possible I even use an alarm that actually plays music. I try to find really uplifting songs or even songs that have really peaceful melodies. One of the best times to listen to a personal development tape or program is right when you wake up. Think about how the effect this will have on you if you do this for about 30 days. If you listen to inspirational/uplifting materials right when you wake up then you will eventually condition that message into your mind and connect it with waking up in the morning. 3. MEDITATE: I think one of the most challenging things about meditating is to free yourself from thoughts. As somebody with a mind that moves at what feels like a million miles a minute. Early in the morning your mind is in a fairly quiet state and even 5-10 minutes of deep centered relaxation/meditation can make a huge difference in your day. How do you start your morning routine? Is there anything else you’d add to this list? Then go ahead. May today mark the beginning of glorious turn around in your life. God Bless you.
