Wake-up to feng shui

Good morning!

Do you know how much the first thing you do in the morning impacts the rest of your day?

A huge amount.

So how does a good feng shui day begin? (Does, still bleary eyed, padding down the stairs, popping the coffee pot on, then firing up the PC to check emails sound a bit too familiar to you? I'm blushing, too! Any media first thing in the morning represents you creating a day where you feel hurried and striving throughout.)

Upon waking, I love to take any of these simple actions, and have found that they can set the stage for the best day of your life ahead:

• a few minutes resting in bed counting blessings...


• reaching over for a jotter and listing ten things I'm grateful for, three things I'm excited about and two things I'm proud of, in life right now...


• hugging & kissing a loved one or pet...


• taking a refreshing shower and having a big stretch...


• and, when I'm feeling very inspired... falling straight into yoga postures or the lotus position for a few minutes of meditation.

One good energy action done, and I'm free to... pad down the stairs, put the coffee pot on, and fire up the PC... a regular early-morning visit these days is to http://simplybreakfast.blogspot.com for beautiful, calming breakfast pictures like the one above. Fills one with healthy chi just peeking at them!

and the thought... Wouldn't it be nice if this was the best day of my life?


P.S. It's never too late to start your morning again. A few deep breaths and holding the intention to "begin again" is a great way to do this.

Have a great day!
love,

Samantha.
