Are you a morning person by nature or are you a "snooze" hitter? Once, twice...? We all know what it is like when you first wake up. You tend to lay around for a few or hit that snooze button because 5 minutes sounds like an eternity. Let's break that bad habit and start developing habits that result in motivated, happy, enjoyable days, one after the other. In this article, you will learn some ways to get a motivational push so that you can get up and get HAPPY! Practice makes permanent, right? Start practicing these exercises and you will find yourself happier when waking. Continue them and you will find yourself happier each and every day, as well as more productive, optimistic, healthier, and more enjoyable to be around. Adults and children, alike, can practice these habits and enjoy a more rewarding and enjoyable day.
6 Steps to Get up and Get Happy:
1. Make up your mind to "Get up and Get Happy" the night before and every night. Period.
2. Wake up to a pleasant alarm, be that your children's squeeling laughter or the tune of don't worry, be happy. But, a screeching annoying alarm is not a pleasant way to start your day. Also, put your alarm on the other side of the room. Don't let that alarm sit right by you where you can just hit the snooze button. If you have to get up and walk across the room it will help motivate you to stay up.
3. Set your alarm 40-60 minutes early and take that time to read motivational material or something that brings joy to your mind and heart. Affirmations are another great addition to a good morning. Have your affirmations near your bed--on your Ipod or place a CD in your automatic alarm clock. How can one go wrong waking up to positive affirmations?
4. Take one minute upon awaking to say a prayer, meditate, and give thanks. You'll be amazed at how much it feeds your spirit to focus on being a blessing and gratitude for your own blessings upon awakening.
5. Love on your family before starting your day. Don't be a grump first thing in the morning. There's nothing I love more than the sweet smell of my children's skin first thing in the morning.
6. Ten minutes of exercise in the morning will help get your day started. Exercise stimulates the muscles, the nerves, the mind, the heart, the body. It is inevitable that you will feel better after some mental movement, as well as phycial movement.
If you are tired of a stressful start to your morning, try these suggestions and I personally guarantee a "Get up and Get Happy" kind of day! Negativity breeds negativity and once the negative snowball starts rolling, its all downhill. Don't let that happen to you and your family. Get up and Get Happy!!
