Kansas or Oz?
Embrace the Morning
You wake up to the blaring alarm, your deep sleep shattered by another morning. Groggily, you debate whether to savor five more minutes of blissful snooze or face the day. You stumble out of bed, perhaps to the coffee maker or even a reluctant cigarette, as you grudgingly welcome the new day. It feels like a routine set in stone since adolescence, dragging yourself into the morning with a muffled curse and a weary mind.
But what if, instead, your first thought was, "Incredible! It's morning!" Imagine leaping out of bed, eager to embrace the day like a joyful gazelle.
What's the Difference?
Is one of these scenarios the norm, and the other an anomaly? If you had a choice, which would you prefer? Or is there a balance between enthusiasm and apathy that suits you better?
Exploring the difference between these two states of mind is a valuable endeavor. It requires a bit of belief suspension and perspective shifting. Here are some simple tips to get you started.
Choose Your Morning Script
Pretend you can choose your morning mood like setting a ringtone. Imagine writing the script for your first waking thought. Would you choose, "Oh bother, it's morning again," or "Wow! It's morning, let's go!"? Picture a voice saying these lines. Which feels better? If you don’t like my words, create your own uplifting script.
Before you fall asleep, decide what your new morning thought will be. Practice it a few times before drifting off. When you wake up, repeat this script in your mind, even if it’s not technically your first thought. To remind myself, I used to place a sock on my alarm clock. Removing it would prompt me to think of my new script. Soon, it became automatic, setting a positive tone for the day.
Set It to Music
If you're rewriting your morning script, why not add a soundtrack? Imagine starting your day with the James Bond theme as you step into the shower. Choose a song that energizes you. If your alarm can play music, set it to wake you with this tune. My personal favorite is "Fanfare for the Common Man" by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. If your alarm isn't that advanced, mentally hum your chosen tune before sleep and resolve to think of it upon waking.
As you remember your morning script, let the melody play in your mind. Whether you hum or whistle aloud, let it accompany your new morning routine. The combination of script and music aims those initial moments toward a glorious day.
Start with Enthusiasm
With a bit of practice, you’ll begin each day with an invigorating script and soundtrack, infusing your day with energy and excitement. Where you take it from there is entirely up to you!
