Reclaim the joy of waking every morning full of energy and exhilaration.
-Robin Sharma
A few months back, every morning, as the alarm would go off and it was time to wake up, I would just hate the day! "I just wish I could catch a few more winks of sleep.... but I have to get up... work beckons... oh, is there no end to this??" I would force myself out of bed (did I have any choice?) and brush my teeth sleepily... and continue being sleepy till I have my morning cuppa. I loved the sleepy feeling... if only I could curl back into comfort! And Monday mornings!! How I wished there were no Mondays at all!
But all this has changed. Now I wake up every morning full of positivity and enthusiasm. This is because I decided that I wanted to change. It is a conscious choice. Either you can continue being grumpy and sleepy every morning; or you can tell yourself that you are really glad to wake up to another beautiful day. A beautiful day full of opportunities that makes life worth living.
There is a simple sequence that leads us to the joy of waking up: finish your work before late evening, relax a little and sleep peacefully. Having a good night's rest leads to a joyful morning. Having late dinner, or watching T.V till late night (especially, the News :-) ) can affect the sleep pattern. If you are tossing and turning all night, you will feel drained by morning. If you sleep well, you will wake up with energy and positivity. Well, we all know this. So why are we not doing anything about it?
Tell yourself every night that you will wake up with joy tomorrow. Look forward to the endless things that you could do tomorrow. Feel blessed about feeling healthy. A week of sickness and bed can make us miss even the things that we really don't seem to like... the traffic jams on our way to work, for instance. Every day is a blessing.
This week, wake up with joy, energy, enthusiasm and all positivity.
