Begin your day with wisdom and wellness...

What I know for sure is that if my day begins well, my whole day has a higher possiblity of unfolding well. If I can begin my day with a great piece of reading, some stretching, a run and some moments of breathing or meditation, I find I am better able to handle whatever life wants to throw my way with a greater amount of energy and awareness.

Some mornings I may have time for only 2 minutes of reading from a book of wisdom, other mornings 15 or 20 minutes. Some mornings I allocate enough time for some yoga, a run or the gym and other mornings I may have time for my 5 famous stretch moves!

Some mornings I set the intention for a 20 minute meditation session and other mornings I may just sit still for 2 to 5 minutes.

I encourage my clients to get into a morning wellness and wisdom routine as well. Some find it difficult to get up earlier. Studies show it takes about 3 weeks to create a new habit and this one is well worth it. So often I hear "I don't have time for myself" or "My days are so crazy" If you get up even a half hour earlier, you will find that extra, amazing time for yourself. Your whole life will change; you will actually find it might just slow down a little. I love what Success Specialist Robin Sharma always says "Sleep less, Live more" .

I try and remember that when I want to press the snooze button one more time, it helps me get my butt out of a nice warm cozy bed. I don't know about you but I am all over "living more".

Enjoy this day...
