Many of you know…
I LOVE mornings!
It is my quiet time to do whatever I want to do. Today I am working with a new mantra for my mornings.
I am asking myself:
“What can I do in this moment that
I can not or will not do or be able to do later?
How can I maximize this gift of time that is just for me?”
I have tried focusing on my time before however, I have to admit, I have not been doing such a great job of holding myself to doing this.
I get sidetracked with shiny objects. Doing laundry, playing on Facebook…you know I love reconnecting in the morning, taking pictures and posting them of the sunrise (my children make fun of me about this one)
Our last sunrise while on our Florida vacation.
checking email when I first get up…really?…turning on the TV (even though I don’t really want it on) and the list goes on.
What I am committed to doing and I am declaring it to you is that I am going to do some form of exercise every morning, and continue with meditating, journaling and having a healthy breakfast before I get ready to go to work.
I am sure I will slip a peak into my email and Facebook but only after I have taken the time to do the things that will continue to move me forward in the direction I really want to go in my life first.
What about you? What gift could you give yourself if you focused on a little bit of “you/me” time every day?
Great Idea! Morning alone time is such a magical gift! I’m going to revive my morning meditation practice.
Great goals for a great morning Clare! It’s funny how we get distracted with things we don’t even want to have in our routine (tv, FB, etc). Good for you for declaring a new committment to YOU!
