In order to begin your day mindfully and be ready for whatever might happen to you during the next hours when you’re awake, consider the following:

As soon as you open your eyes, become aware that you are alive, breathing in and out. Feel grateful for what you already have.

Instead of rushing out of your bed, think about how you want to live your day and set your intentions.

Don’t switch on ‘autopilot mode’ when getting dressed. Remember your aspirations and feel the clothing touching your body.

Brushing your teeth or showering, be fully present, don’t drift away to what comes next.

Take the time to eat breakfast, even if you only have little time. Prepare your food mindfully and savour every bite recognising how lucky you are to have enough to eat.
