Tips For Your Morning Rituals
"How you start your day is how you live your day" - Kristine Carlson
Imagine What Would Happen If You Started Each New Day With The Same Determination And Inspiration That Is Normally Reserved For The Start Of A New Year?  When You Rise Up In The Morning, Remind Yourself Of What A Precious Privilege It Is To Be Alive, To Breath, To Reach For & Accomplish New Things That Day.  Many People Don't Get That Privilege So It Shouldn't Be Taken Lightly.  Most People Wake Up And The First Thing That Starts Running Through Their Mind Is A Lot Of Stress, Worry, And Negative Thoughts About The Day Ahead And Simply Looking Forward To It Being Over, And That's No Way To Live!
Rituals Will Allow You To Get More Out Of Everyday!

Stretch & Breath

"Breath Is The Link Between Mind And Body" - Dan Brule

Oxygen Is The Most Important Thing The Cells In Your Body Need.  Take Several Long, Deep Breaths In Through Your Nose And Out Through Your Mouth While At The Same Time Stretching Your Entire Body To Put You Into A Deep State Of Relaxation.

Close Your Eyes And Continue To Breath Deeply While Concentration On Each Part Of Your Body To Relax It Even Deeper.  Start With Your Head, Face, Neck, Shoulders, Arms, Hands, Fingers, Chest, Stomach, Hips, Thighs, Knees, Ankles Feet, Down To Your Toes.  In The Extreme Relaxed State, Move On

"A Moment Of Gratitude Makes A Difference In Your Attitude" - Bruce Wilkinson


Gratitude 

It's Hard To Have A Bad Day When You Start It With A Sense Of Gratitude.  Cultivate A Habit Of Being Grateful For All The Good Things That Come To You, Many Of Which We Take For Granted.

With Your Eyes Still Closed And Breathing Deeply, Think Of At Least 3 Things That You Are Grateful For Each Day. Think Of 1 Major Thing Which Might Be Your Spouse, Family, Children, Health, Etc., And Then Think Of 2 Small, Simple Things Like The Breeze Outside, The Sunrise, Safe Drinking Water, A Soft Pillow, A Hot Cup Of Coffee, Etc. Which Teaches You To Be Thankful For The Small Things In Life Which Are Often Overlooked.




Visualize

"When One Starts To Visualize The Impossible, One Begins To See It As Possible" - Cheri Carter-Scott

While You're Still In This State Of Deep Relaxation, Take A Few Brief Moments And Visualize Your Perfect Day. What Will You Do, What Will You Accomplish, What Makes You Excited?  

Remember Great Days In The Past, What Gave You Joy & Happiness Those Days.  Use All Your Senses When You Picture The Experience In Your Mind.

Visualizing Your Perfect Day Will Program Your Subconscious To Achieve It.  Just As Your Heart Will Be Beating And Your Lungs Will Be Breathing Without You Having To Consciously Think About It, Your Subconscious Mind Will Be Moving You Towards That Picture You Created Of Your Ideal Day In The Same Manner, Like A Guided Missile,  If That Image Is Strong Enough.

- Yoda

Learn Something New 

Wise People Never Stop Learning.  If You're Not Willing To Learn, No One Can Help You.  If You're Determined To Learn, No One Can Stop You!  

Learning New Things Every Day Gives You New Talents, Skills, And Allows You To Think Outside The Box Giving You New Perspectives.

It Could Be By Reading A Book, Listen To An Audio Tape While You Ride A Bike Or Do The Dishes, Watch A Video While On The Treadmill So You Can Easily Learn Something New (Exercising Your Mind) While Exercising Your Body.

Focus On Your Physical Body  

This Is Probably The Most Common Ritual Among extremely Successful People In The World.  They Take Time For Themselves, Generally In Nutrition & Exercise, To Make Sure Their Bodies Can Take Them Through The Day.

Exercise Can Range From Walking, Running, Dancing, Jumping Up & Down To Hardcore Workouts, Basically Anything That Gets Your Body Moving.  This Movement Will Have Tremendous Health Benefits On Your Body By Enhancing Your State, Your Emotions, Your Energy Levels, Increasing Oxygen Levels, And Stimulation Your Lymphatic System Among Just A Few.
