Making Mornings Series: #10 Making Mornings a Celebration

by

This grew out of a series to be posted on a board. It served as a reminder for me to intentionally create the mornings I want, in many different ways and being.

After taking on different types of mornings, trying different things that work or don’t work for you, everyone deserves a pat on the back.

Making Mornings Series: #10 Making Mornings a Celebration
I celebrate the fact that I get a new morning, well.. every morning. We worry about the day ahead but technically, it hasn’t started. You get to create it for yourself the day ahead, whether same-old-same-old or something new.
When the new day counts as one of your blessings, and you learn to have gratitude, isn’t that in itself cause for celebration?

Making Mornings Series: #9 Making Mornings Joyful

By this stage, those who live in their head a lot (like me) start to get confused. At #9 of the series, how can one person’s morning take so many forms?
The beauty is in understanding the possibilities are endless. You can take one and make it your own for 30 days (somewhat to ingrain a habit in a way of being). Or you can mix a few up and create your own combination of morning (because really, is there any other type of morning other your own for yourself?). Or you can see what serves you for that day or week and take on that one way of Making Mornings accordingly.
I haven’t got it all done to making it all effortless, but I figured along the way that the next element was quite crucial.

Making Mornings Series: #9 Making Mornings Joyful
Consider being in the state of joy and yet treating something with the utmost importance, while intending for the most effective result. Consider that it doesn’t need the furrowed brow, intense look or serious attitude.
Seriously considering?
Stop.
Mornings are joyful because we don’t overthink it. Joyfulness happens in the heart, out of the head. Maybe big dreams happen with or without joy, but it sure is easier with joy.

Making Mornings Series: #8 Making Mornings Connected

Making Mornings Series: #8 Making Mornings Connected

While being connected today often means being plugged in electronically, what I mean here is the old definition: connection to people.

There is something magical about hearts connecting.  When one person acknowledges and appreciates the presence of another person, either party has a more enriching morning as a result.

To acknowledge is to say, “Thank you for being you.”

To appreciate is to say “And there is no need to be anyone else.”

Making Mornings Series: #7 Making Mornings Inspiring
Imagine waking up every morning inspired, eyes alight, smile on your face and skip in your step. I find the easiest way is to give some morning time to always be reading about inspirational examples, journaling or to take a small step towards a goal I have.
Inspiration uplifts and brings possibilities, and possibilities expand and bring more inspiration.
