Wake up with

Written by Alison Dunlop positivity

CAN you picture this scene? It is early in the morning; you are in bed and the alarm is going off. What do you do? Do you hit snooze button five times, and then at the last minute drag yourself out of bed, only to gulp down a coffee and drive like a crazy person to work? Or, do you spend your precious time on your phone checking Instagram and snapchat? If this is you, then you are setting yourself up for a drag of a day. Morning time is when you can set your tone for the whole day. Lucky for us humans, it’s Groundhog day every day. As we snooze, we lose all resistance to negativity and have the chance to wake up with a clean slate and a chance for a fresh start. So, ask yourself, how do you want to start your day? I prefer to ride the positivity waves myself. I advise my clients, as well as the normal, shower, brekky and teeth routine, to also include a morning spiritual ritual. This helps sustain those good vibes throughout the day. Starting tomorrow, get out of bed when your alarm first beeps and put your phone down.

Try these spiritual ritual ideas:

• Mindfully drink a cup of tea or coffee. This means, as you are sipping away, you savour the taste of your beverage, and be mindful of your surroundings. • Try some exercise, stretching, or go for a gentle walk. • Spend a few minutes soaking up some sunshine. • Meditate, there are plenty of free meditation apps available. Say, write or sing affirmations or mantras. Yes, I did say sing. Try those in the shower! Make your morning ritual enjoyable and it will immediately empower you and raise your vibe.

I am energised and inspired. I am healthy well and vibrant. Today is a great day! All is well.
