These days mornings can seem like a crazy rush. As soon as the alarm rings it feels like a rush to get everything done and start the day at work. What if you could change your busy mornings into a chance to think about yourself and grow as a person? You can definitely make this happen and it can feel really good if you include some mindful practices. You can make your mornings better by focusing on being present and starting the day with a good mindset.
Begin by taking some deep breaths.
Start your day by taking a few minutes to breathe deeply and pay attention to your breath. Before you get out of bed sit up and take a big breath in through your nose letting your stomach fill up. Breathe out gently using your mouth. This easy method helps you feel less stressed makes you happier and gets your mind ready for a day of focused thinking. Breathing mindfully in the morning helps you focus your thoughts and get ready for a peaceful day ahead.
Writing in a journal with awareness
Take ten minutes to write down your thoughts and focus on the moment. Write down your hopes your goals or some things you appreciate. Doing this can make you more aware and help you concentrate better throughout the day. Writing in a journal helps you think about yourself and lets you see how your feelings change as time goes by. It’s a good way to let out all those thoughts and start your day feeling clear-headed.
Morning meditation with guidance
There are a lot of free resources on the internet and doing morning meditations can really make a difference. Take about five to ten minutes to do a meditation that works for you. It could be about feeling grateful staying focused or just being more positive. Guided meditations can really help people who are just starting with mindfulness because they provide a clear way to practice and keep your attention on track.
Setting your goals and figuring out what you want to achieve
Pausing to think about what you want to achieve today can really make a difference. As you enjoy your morning drink take a moment to consider what you want to accomplish. Think about not only the things you need to do but also how you want to feel and how you plan to interact with those around you. When you set intentions it helps you act in ways that match what you believe in and gives your day a clearer purpose.
Being aware while you move
Doing some light exercises like yoga or stretching can really boost how you feel both physically and mentally. Doing mindful movement helps you notice how your body feels which can show you where you are tense and can also make you more flexible. It can be a calm and lively way to get ready for the day making sure you feel good in your mind and body.
Eating with awareness
Finally take your time with breakfast. Taking the time to eat slowly instead of rushing can really be good for you. Pay attention to how your food feels tastes and looks. This makes you enjoy your food more and helps your stomach work better while being good for your health. Put your phone away or switch off the TV while you eat so you can really enjoy the food.
Final thoughts
Changing up your morning routine with some thoughtful habits can really help you feel clearer in your mind more balanced in your emotions and better overall. Keep in mind that being mindful doesn't take a lot of time. Little adjustments can really change things a lot. If you keep practicing you might notice that your mornings turn into something more than just getting ready for the day. They can actually feel like a calm and meaningful time.
