Morning Ritual
The way in which we begin our morning is synonymous with how the rest of our day will be. If we wake up feeling rushed, the rest of our day will feel rushed. If we wake up feeling stressed, the rest of our day will be stressed. However, if we take just a few moments to check in with ourself and bring gratitude to what we already have, we are then in the right frame of mind to live this day with intention.
Sitting upright, I put a half smile on my face and took in a few deep breaths into my belly. Feeling the shoulders relax with each our breath, I surrendered to the moment. Following the narrator’s guidance, I brought to mind three things that I am grateful for that I will most likely encounter today. After each, I asked myself, why is this important. Asking myself this question grew the gratitude vastly. Then I watched the mind screen behind my closed eyes and pictured my morning and afternoon. A spark of excitement rose in my heart. Inspired, I completed the sentence, today, I choose to be … . I choose to be an instrument of peace, love and light today.
Every day we are given the beautiful gift of a new day. This day. How will you make it meaningful? What will you choose to be today?
Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️
