Be The Leader Of Your Day

CLARITY KICKSTART: August 18, 2014

One of the things I do is send a greeting card to the first person that comes to my mind every morning. This is how I start my day. It’s an amazing way to begin a day because it helps you to always start on a positive note.

Coaching Tip for the Week:

How do you start your morning?

Many hit ‘snooze’ repeatedly, then start the day feeling behind. Others adopt the mood of the first person they see, for better or worse. Some check email first thing, which can put us in ‘reactive’ mode before we even get out of bed.

How you start your morning sets the tone for your entire day. Don’t leave it to chance or to what someone else deems important.

This week, choose one action that would make a great start to your day, then commit to it each morning for one week. Make it short and simple: Read a quick passage from an inspirational book, think of 3 gratitudes, choose a word that you want to describe your day.

Next week at this time, take a moment to reflect on how this morning practice has impacted you. Keep me posted!
