THE BEST WAY TO START YOUR DAY!
​

I will admit that I don't always do this. But when I do these three things, my day begins amazingly and my attitude towards life becomes more like a shining light.

Life can be very strange, exciting, boring, and delightful! We are all trying to figure it out. Yes, you too! You don't have all the answers.

Maybe that is the MAGICK of it!

The mystery! 

The GAME OF LIFE!

One of the things I find super intriguing is how everything seems to work out. A lesson is always learned. An understanding and quiet peace - if you are open, comes over you when you rest in the fact that maybe we are in a game.

Anyways, I want to make this post short and sweet. Here are my, 

THREE POSITIVE WAYS TO START MY DAY:
​
  1. GRATITUDE.
  2. QUIET TIME.
  3. EXERCISE.​

STARTING MY DAY WITH GRATITUDE

PictureOffering GRATITUDE to MAMA GAIA.
The first thing I do when I wake up, if I'm not summoned by some "kid emergency", is - I sit at the edge of my bed, feet on the ground and by placing my right hand on my belly with the left hand over it. In a circular and clockwise motion, I tell my organs "Thank you for how you support my body". 

This is an amazing way to start up the "Chi" energy and get it going.

Gratitude or thanksgiving is a beautiful prelude to amazing gifts that life has to offer.

Not only do I thank my organs (liver, spleen, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.), but I also thank the rest of my body for all that it does for me.

Then I express gratitude for a NEW DAY.

A new day to serve the Universe. A new day to show love, compassion, and shine a light onto someone's life. After all, I believe we are all connected.

THINGS TO BE GRATEFUL FOR (IN CASE YOU NEED REMINDING):
​
  • You are breathing!
  • You might be one of those who lives in a country where clean water and healthy food is available.
  • At least one person loves you.
  • Are you able to move your feet and walk around? This might be you!
  • Can you see, even if you have to put on glasses?
  • COFFEE - some of you know what I mean!
  • Your loved one who greets you with a hug or a smile!
  • Do you have pets? They are ALWAYS happy to see you!
  • Warm showers?
  • That job that allows you some kind of freedom to buy some of the things you love.

This list can go on!

BEGINNING YOUR DAY WITH MEDITATION

It is so important to be still. To consciously quiet down and allow yourself some moments of silence.

This can be super challenging if you one of those people, like me - who is always busy! 

What helps me is to count my breath. This basically meditation. There isn't a RIGHT way to do it. 

Focusing on and counting the amounts of time you breathe is not rocket science.

Ever heard of 4-7-8? There is a method I learned by watching Harvard-trained Dr Andrew Weill, that greatly helped me to focus on my breath.

It's best to do this twice a day!

GET YOUR BLOOD MOVING

THREE WAYS I LIKE TO GET MY BLOOD PUMPING:
​
  1. Yoga stretches
  2. Dancing
  3. Jumping jacks or squats.

You don't have to do what I do. But for me, I find it so invigorating to stretch and hold some yoga poses for muscle strengthening. 

I like doing a bunch of sun salutations and incorporating downward dogs, chaturangas etc. 

I am intentionally speaking into my life the luxury of beginning my day in dance. Oh, how I love dancing!

Dancing opens up magickal doorways to your soul. It releases creative expression. Dance like nobody's watching, baby!

When I dance, I become free! I feel like my body loves this and thanks me for taking care of it this way!

I hope you've enjoyed the three top ways I like to start my day! Of course, I can add to this list - then the post will be about "FIVE BEST WAYS TO BEGIN YOUR DAY". 

Who knows? I might just do one!

Have an amazing day!
