79 - Why you should mind yourself at the start of your day

Why you should mind yourself at the start of your day I recommend you take care of your mind at the start of the day. If not, it becomes just another thing you need to tick off on your task list. If it’s something you fit in around everything else it can be a source of stress, and a speed bump to your momentum during the day. You’ll try get through it so you can get on with it. Amazingly, this doesn’t lead to all the benefits we talk about! When we take time for our mind at the start of the day, it puts us in control of our mood and mental energy. We’re less reactive to things because we’ve built that buffer of calmness and clarity in our mind. We know what’s important, where our focus needs to go, and we also have the assurance that no mater what comes up we’ve invested in our mental health. To make this morning ritual easier to embed, I always recommend tying it to a habit you already have. Taking a minute with your morning cup of coffee is my favourite. Chances are you’re on your phone, so it’s only takes a second to set your timer for one minute and afterward note what you’re grateful for and what your intentions for the day. You deserve the time to set yourself up for success each day. Done right this small investment pays off many times over for you. https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18248924&appointmentType=11286512
