I have a confession to make, a few weeks ago, I was a grumpy bear. I'd wake up with a groan, after abusing my snooze button multiple times. I'd lay in bed trying to convince myself that I could get out of bed in just 30 more seconds.
The next few hours would be spent in a haze of grumpiness wanting nothing more than to curl up with a blanket for a nap. When the haze of sleepiness wore off I'd put myself in such a bad mood by that time that it really didn't matter anyway. That set the tone for several days and I hated it.
So I asked myself why I was doing that to myself.
I knew that I was staying up late in order to get more into my day and even though I knew it was having a negative effect on me I did it anyway. Don't you hate when you do things like that? So I put on my big girl panties, decided to change it, and gave myself a mandatory bedtime.
Then I worked on my morning routine.
Creating a nourishing routine changed my mindset immediately. It turned the ordinary mumble and grumble morning into something that sent me to work with a smile on my face and a positive attitude. I allowed myself to wake up after a full 8 hours of sleep, which eliminated the battle of wills with the alarm clock. I gave myself enough time to get ready for work and have a morning cup of tea as well as spend time communing with Spirit.
It was extraordinary.
My challenge to you this week is try to find away to improve your morning routine. Add a bit of Spirit to your morning, add a few minutes to appreciate the fact that you woke up and it's a new day and you're here to experience it.
