Shifting Your Focus

img_1415

How you start your day and the expectations that you have for it are pivotal to the small and large successes of your life. Do you have a ritual or routine that starts you off on a positive, powerful and healthy start? Do you wake up and think positive thoughts about your coming day or do you feel ‘blank’ and scroll through your phone for 10-15 minutes? Eating the right food to start your day and ensuring that the messages you are receiving to your mind are empowering, satisfying and optimistic can do a lot for your temporary mood and also for building mental habits and your own motivation for conquering your goals. Also, if you find yourself struggling to stick to an exercise regime, many have attested to how effective it is to do your workout first thing – before anything else – so that excuses do not pile up through the day and you find that ‘you don’t have time’. Make an observation for this week about how you wake up and what you do – then, imagine your healthiest and most ideal version of that and try it out for 7 days. Wake up that little bit earlier, ignore your phone until you get something positive happening in your day and track the difference that it makes to your thought patterns and sense of positivity.
