Most popular music artists, across genres and generations,
have performed songs on the joy of a new day and the
opportunities it throws at us, opportunities to make a
fresh start, and leave yesterday behind.
It is, indeed, one of the most inspirational themes we can
and must utilize in our lives. And we don't have to wait a
year for a new year, or a birthday or some other
significant anniversary - we have the opportunity to
inspire and motivate ourselves every 24 hours.
Why all the importance to the start of our day, you may
ask. Just look back into your recent past and you will
notice that the manner in which you started your day
ultimately decided your attitude for the entire day. If
your day starts badly, your entire attitude tends to be
negative.
So how much of how our day starts is in our hands?
Well a lot. If we feel our days aren't starting off on a
bright, positive note, we have all the power and tools
necessary to change it. How many times have you proactively
tried to change your approach to starting the day?
Try and you will realize that if you change your approach
and attitude, your entire day will witness a significant
difference. Here are some tips to help you make that change.
1. Get started early.
Mornings are inherently invigorating. It is almost as if it
were the grand design of nature. Mornings come with just
the right atmosphere to kick start the new day. Everything
in nature comes alive and our immediate surroundings are
abuzz with activity. Utilize this natural phenomenon to
your benefit.
Inspire yourself to wake up early in the morning. Take in
the freshness in the air and in nature. Early rising is a
very good habit and also has proven long lasting benefits
not just for the way the rest of your day pans out, but
also for your general mental and physical well being.
2. Leave yesterday behind.
While we can't practically start every day with a blank
slate, it is advisable to forget the past day with the
morning of a new one. Don't spend your morning mulling over
things that have happened the day before. Don't crib or be
depressed. Start your day looking forward to the
opportunities it brings and not behind at the
disappointments that preceded it.
3. Get physical.
Mornings are active - our environment is awake and active.
Join in. Get active yourself. Go out for a walk or a jog;
try some exercise, practice yoga. Shake your mind and body
out of its slumber. Dance if you like that better, anything
that helps your mind and body prime up to take the new day
on.
4. Eat like a King.
Breakfast is the single most important meal of the day.
Numerous studies have repeatedly proven the importance of a
good, nourishing breakfast and yet it seems to be the one
meal we most compromise on.
Don't rush out the door without breakfast. Your body needs
the energy. A healthy breakfast will help you gain energy
for the rest of the morning and even for the afternoon.
5. Say a little prayer.
Among all the activity that your morning should consist of,
take the time out to offer your gratitude for everything
that's good in your life, your success, your family, and
the good times.
Thank the power that is for the benedictions it has
bestowed upon you. Take a few minutes off to fully
appreciate how good things are and how lucky you are.
In the grand scheme of things, it is easy to miss the
opportunity that is a new day. Make the most of every day
by grabbing it with both hands and starting it off on a
right, bright, positive note.
