How you start each day is really important. Those first few minutes really can set the tone for everything that comes next. And whether you wake up feeling good, Or maybe tired, Or worried, Or overwhelmed, Or just not quite ready for the day ahead, There are things you can do to give yourself the best possible start. And it all starts by taking a few moments to yourself before the day gets going. Now there are as many ways to do this as there are people. But one of my personal favourites is gratitude. In fact, As soon as I realise that I'm awake, Before I've even properly opened my eyes, I start by saying thank you. Thank you for today. Thank you for my health. Thank you for my family and friends. Just a few simple thoughts and words of gratitude. And what I love about this is that I'm choosing where to put my attention. So instead of letting my mind just run away with itself, With worries and plans or everything that I need to do today, Instead, I choose to begin with gratitude. And it immediately begins to lift my mood. It gives me a really nice foundation for the next part of my morning, Which is when I usually try some mindful breathing. But that's just what works for me. There are so many simple but really effective things that you can try to give yourself a better start to the day. And I've actually just launched a new course here on Insight Timer that explores just that. It's called Morning Magic. Start every day better. And over 10 days I will introduce you to a whole range of simple, Practical techniques to help you create calmer, Happier and more positive mornings, Whatever kind of day you're waking up to. The course is available to Insight Timer Member Plus subscribers and I'd absolutely love you to join me. Tap my name to visit my profile and you'll find the course there.
