Rejuvenate Your Life with Mindful Mornings: A Guide to Spiritual Transformation

You know those days.

Those messy mornings when you…

you’re rushing out the door.

wake up late and in a bad mood.

just want a little calm amidst all that chaos.

The first thing you do when you wake up will set the tone for your entire day. If you want to move through your day with more energy, awareness, and confidence, start your day with activities that encourage those states of mind. If you’re going to move through your day feeling anxious, irritated, and frustrated, there are things you can do to incite those feelings, too. The problem is that you might be doing some of those things without realizing it.

One way….. to prepare for the morning rush is by placing sticky notes on your bathroom mirror, fridge, and other places you visit first thing in the am. They are reminders to NOTICE emotions, NAME the emotion, ACCEPT what is going on, and BREATHE (pausing to take a few deep breaths) before jumping into action.

Here are a few activities you can consider including in your version of an a.m. routine:

• Read for 5 minutes
• Meditate for 60 seconds
• Exercise/walk
