Let me paint a picture for you…
It’s a dark winters morning. Its raining outside and you can hear the wind blowing☔.
Your alarm has just gone off⏰.
What’s the first thought that comes into your mind???
Woohoo its time to get up as you proceed to bounce out of bed🤪…If this is you I want to know who you are???
Where’s the coffee☕???…always a great pick me up!
Where’s the snooze button😴…sometimes me.
I really can’t be bothered today🙈…we all feel like that at times.
Damn I need to pee🚽…NOW…that’s often me, but it does get me out of bed😀.
All sorts of thoughts go through our minds as soon as our brain becomes active🧠.
That’s a good thing😀.
Your brain is rested, (providing that you had a good nights sleep😴), and is open to pretty much anything at this point.
So the thoughts that we have when we first wake up can influence the rest of our day.
Imagine this…
You wake up in the morning in a complete grump😖.
You suppurate in your grumpiness before getting out of bed on the wrong side and have already decided that today is going to be a crap day😤. You trip over a rug, spill your coffee and realise that you forgot to put your phone on charge the night before🙈. Now you’re in a really foul mood🤬.
How is the rest of your day looking???
Your first thought has set the scene for the rest of your day, as you carried on thinking in a negative mindset.
May as well go back to bed😴.
Now imagine the same scenario, but instead of wrapping yourself up in your negative funk you try and be more positive😀.
Ok so you still wake up grumpy, but you are determined that its not going to ruin your day.
You decide to get up, put some high energy music on and do some of your favourite dance moves around the kitchen for a few minutes while the kettle is boiling☕.
Your funk is starting to lift as those feel good endorphins from getting active race around your body✨✨✨.
You make your coffee and the aroma immediately uplifts you. Maybe this day isn’t going to be so bad after all👏.
Now there’s even more good news😀👏.
It turns out that your morning Java not only acts as a pick me up, but it also makes you more open minded😮.
Now you’re on a roll and can’t wait to see what the day ahead has in store for you. Ok so at the moment maybe nothing mind blowing, but you get the gist👍.
When you first wake up, YOU have the POWER to decide how the rest of your day goes😀.
BADASS🤪 or just BAD😤.
Until next time, stay safe and take care.
