Win your Morning, Win your Day

Have you ever wondered at the end of a really unproductive day, 'What went wrong today?'

I have. The answers I got were manifold.

1. Lack of setting daily goals/targets
2. Endless distraction on unimportant stuff (TV/Netflix/Social Media)
3. Feeling tired physically and mentally

But upon closer inspection, all of them pointed to one simple fact. How I started my morning had an impact on my whole day.

When you win your morning, you win your day.

The difference between the days when I woke up early and the days when I did not was huge. On the days I woke up late, I felt irritated and at some level, angry at myself. This led to a huge drain in my energy levels and I wound up browsing the internet and working on my tasks in an unfocused way with tons of breaks in between.

When I woke up early, I could:

1. Spend time writing in my Gratitude Journal and set positive intentions for the day
2. Set daily goals and also make a resolution on distractions to avoid
3. Exercise in the morning and feel refreshed physically and mentally after the workout
4. Really focus on the tasks and get things done fast

This in turn had a huge effect on the quality of my life with my family. The more positive my day went, the more energy I had to connect with my family and play with my daughter. This in turn led me to feel even more grateful, thus triggering a whole new level of happiness and joy.

If you are to only focus on one goal for 2018, I humbly recommend that it be to wake up early and spend the first few hours focusing on yourself. It will have an incredible impact on your quality of time. Here's to an amazing 2018!
