My best mornings start without an alarm blaring at me. My dog Clarence has a built-in alarm at 5:30 am. I am woken up with a warm head covering my face until I pull the cover off. We go outside, I start my coffee pot, and get dressed.
I wish I could get myself up a little earlier to move a bit, but I like my sleep!
When you are intentional about how you start your day you can set some great intentions for yourself. It can lead to a successful week, month, and year. It does not take a momentous action every day to make this happen. It can just be a few small things. In fact, the more simple and focused the better -- because you are more likely to GET IT DONE.
That is why I want to work on getting up earlier each morning. I think it will help me start my day slower and less stressful. I do enjoy my ride to work now, just listening to the radio for 15 minutes.
My ultimate plan is to have a podcast ready to listen to instead of the radio. One step at a time, right?
This month we are taking a deeper look at the things you can do to help set yourself up for success, with lots of actionable tips and inspiration.
Make it an amazing day! -- Sara Karman
