You've heard that old saying that goes "The early bird gets the worm." That really is no better quote that pushes the need to be an early riser. After a restful night's sleep your mind is ready to go. You are at your sharpest. So why not use that to your advantage?
Get up a little early (oh heck, go all the way and wake up an hour early). Remember, during that time your adversary or competitor may be listening intently to the talking head's on TV to catch on the latest, overnight celebrity gossip, you are working diligently to set a positive tone for your entire day.
To get the worm (the positive tone for the day) do what works for you!
Write, Draw, Color, Paint, Read, or whatever makes you feel good. Take about 60 minutes and dedicate the entire time to that one activity and do it every day. Once you have made it a habit, you will wonder how you lived so long without doing this simple yet, life altering, activity.
A dose of reality: I know that I feel terrible on those days that I do not do my 1 hour of dedicated me time. It has become part of my day and I am now at a point that I feel lost when I don't take just a few minutes, let alone the whole hour. Give it a try and you might never go back to living without doing it.
I do invite you to join the conversation and tell me what you think about any of the postings so far.
Thank you,
