1. Let Go: Start with a Mind Dump
Before reaching for your phone and check SoMe, grap a notebook or open a notes app. Write down anything on your mind. Stress, plans, random thoughts. This clears mental clutter and makes space for a fresh start. Think of is as taking out the mental trash before you decorate the day.
2. Understand: Check In With Yourself
Ask yourself: How am I feeling? Where do I feel the feeling I am having. Place the feeling in your body and notice how it feels.
What do I need today? Emotionally, mentally, physically? Do I need to take a day off, or do I need just to be today? Even just rating your mood from 1 - 10 can help you tune in and set a compassionate tone for your day.
3. Manage: Set One Main Goal
Forget the 10 item to do list. Pick one thing that will make you feel accomplished today - big or small. Let that be your north star.
One intentional win is better that ten chaotic checkboxes
4. Own It: Create A Small Ritual
Light a candle. Stretch for 2 minutes. Make your coffee slowly. Do something that's yours. A rituals that tells your brain: This day is mine.
5. Let The Light In
Open the curtains. Step outside. Watch the sunrise if you can. Letting natural light hit your eyes in the morning helps reset your internal clock - and your mood.
Let the light in - literally and metaphorically.
