How do you start your day? Does your morning routine leave you energised
or harassed? I believe the time just after waking is really
important and luckily my partner has his own well established routine of
meditation and exercise. It’s taken some
trial and error but now we have a start to the day that nurtures us both. Having a positive start sets the tone for the
whole day and means you get to experience more Soul Sanook (soul fun). Here are some suggestions….
- Allow more time! Getting up
just a few minutes earlier can make all the difference to your sense of
well-being. Consider how this could
be possible, ensure you have something to look forward to and be aware if
you’re hooked on the drama and adrenaline of being just in (or out of)
time!
- Be gentle. Waking to a harsh loud
‘beep’, traumatic news belting out of the radio/TV, press ups and skin
scrubbing is enough to send most people straight back under the
duvet! Experiment with programming
yourself to wake before your alarm, change the alarm noise, choose music
that makes you feel good, lovingly massage your skin awake, breathe,
stretch and dance to energise your body.
- Focus. Remind yourself what’s important to you. What are you grateful for in your life? Who do you love and who loves you? Pay attention to the things that make this a great morning! Focus on up to 3 things you’ll achieve today and who you need to be in order to accomplish these smoothly. Schedule important things, and new habits, early in the day. There’s more chance you’ll do them!
In designing your
morning ritual you’ll need to get those you live with on board- either
negotiating some ‘time out’ or involving them to create something you can all
enjoy. Life Coaching often involves the
creation of new habits that support clients being happier and more successful. Sometimes we lose track of our priorities and
reviewing the first hour of our day can be a good place to start.
