The Way You Wake Up

Success in life can be as simple as looking at the way you wake up. If you can wake up in a happy, peaceful and positive frame of mind, then you will reclaim your confidence, your love for life, your desire to succeed. The mood with which you start the day sets the tone for the rest of the day.

One way of ensuring that you wake up in a positive and powerful frame of mind is to change your ritual before you go to sleep. Look back over your day. How are you describing what happened to you today?

Are you focusing on those incidents that drained you or the actions, feedback and feelings that amde you feel good? You should concentrate on issues that give you power, what made you feel good. You see, what you focus on is what you get. So if you continue to focus on the negative and the draining issues then you have no choice but to feel sluggish and drained all the time. If you can allow yourself to drift off to sleep while thinking positively of your successes then you have the opportunity of being recharged through sleep and waking in a dynamic frame of mind.

It may sometimes be impossible to see successes of the day. Maybe one particular day, everything seemed to go wrong for you. What can you do then? Well, think about it this way --- it doesn't matter how bad the experience is; work with it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. Nothing can happen to you that isn't for your benefit. Even though when it is happening it doesn't feel like it. Do not just accept the draining incident and make youself tired and discouraged but refocus your mind. Imagine that whatever happens to you is meant to happen to you and coming through it can only improve you.

And throw away your alarm clock. For many people this sounds ridiculous. How would you ever get up in the morning if it weren't for your alarm clock? But have you ever stopped to wonder what it is about your life that requires you to shock yourself awake? Can such regular rude awakenings be good for you? If you need some assistance in waking up by a particular time, try waking up to music, or use a more subtle method like a Zen Clock which gives a soft tone of increasing frequency, that will slowly and gently wake you up.

Wake up 5 to 10 minutes earlier, sit quietly and plant the seeds of peace and love in your mind. Listen to soothing music. Cultivate a feeling of warmth and peace. A feeling of love and acceptance. When you do this, you are connecting with your natural power of peace and love which naturally bring freedom and positivity to your life. The result is a feeling of harmony and contentment.

Now you're ready to face the world!
