What do you do upon awakening each morning?
If you tend to reach for your phone to check email or social media, I have an alternative suggestion. It may take as little as 5 seconds but could change your entire day.
Try setting an intention for the day.
When you first wake up, before you step out of bed, choose a word that you want to represent you for the day.
For example, maybe you have an incredibly busy schedule ahead – you might choose the intention of ‘peaceful’ or ‘energized.’
Maybe you have some potentially volatile meetings on the calendar – your intention might be ‘calm’ or ‘graceful.’
Some other intentions might include ‘smile,’ ‘gratitude,’ ‘leader,’ ‘inspired,’ or ‘clear.’
Choose a word that captures who and how you want to be in the world, repeat it to yourself a few times, then call it to mind whenever you think of it throughout the day. You may be surprised what a difference this makes in terms of your mood, attitude, and how you carry yourself throughout the day!
