Waking Up

Your Morning Trance

Most of us wake up dazed and foggy.
Walking to the bathroom in a trance.
Some mornings it is not until the shower hits your back or the coffee aroma tickles your nose that you truly wake.
In this time of "trance walking" you might want to consider the thoughts that are going through your mind:

• "Urgh! - It's cold!"
• "I don't want to get up!"
• "It's going to be a hard day today"
• "I really don't want to see my boss today"
• "I can't juggle my work and the kids/shopping/cleaning today!"

Some mornings we let the worry flood in...

The power of these first thoughts is strong.
This is your first conversation of the day and you are in a highly suggestible state. Are you practicing a negative thought pattern, or deepening a negative limiting belief?

Make it Count

You CAN make the most of this trance-like state every morning instead:

• Spend a moment to consider one thing you are looking forward to in the day ahead.
• Consider the strength and resources you are going to use to overcome all obstacles today.
• Plan your intention the night before, write it down and leave it on your bedside table. Read it as soon as you wake (rather then picking up your phone and seeing the awaiting emails).
• Have a set of affirmation cards near your bed and read one each day.
• Create a morning mantra that you whisper to yourself as you wake into  your day - "I can do anything I put my mind to".

Morning Mind Set

As you get out of bed, imagine how you want to feel today. You can create an image in your mind of you looking and feeling exactly that way.
Make it bright, detailed and crystal clear; then imagine walking through it. As you do - like trying on a new outfit - you can feel how it feels to feel that way already, and wear that outlook all day long.

May your mind begin the day light - even in the cold.

If you need some support changing your mindset and navigating your thoughts; hypnotherapy may be helpful.
