Often the day begins the way we start it.
Rushing around in the morning makes the whole day stressful.
A happy day begins with happy thoughts.
So try to start your day happy,calm and peacefully.
How about:
a few stretches
giving thanks for a new day,
a short meditation or visualization about the day ahead,
smile to yourself in the mirror,
breathe in joy, happiness, light and health
breath out tiredness, negative thoughts and burdens.
Enjoy a cup of warm lemon water,
energize yourself with a healthy breakfast.
Now the new day can begin!

Groucho Marx says:
“Each morning when I open my eyes
I say to myself:
I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
I can choose which it shall be.
Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet.
I have just one day , today and I’m going to be happy in it.”
Welcome every morning with a smile.
Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator,
another golden opportunity to complete
what you were unable to finish yesterday.
Be a self-starter.
Let your first hour set the theme of success
and positive action that is certain to echo
through your entire day.
Today will never happen again.
Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all.
You were not born to fail.

That is wonderful!
I find if I have a few moments to myself in the morning, I have a good start to the day.
I love my peaceful mornings! Good to find time for it, Colline!
Ute, how very wise you are – this is such good advice, and really helpful to me at the moment. I find it all too easy to rush straight into my day without taking time to really think about anything and before I know it, I am getting back into bed again to go to sleep. Mindfulness is so important, isn’t is, and coupled with a practice of gratitude, we can take on anything life throws at us with grace and equanimity 😀
Yes, Liz you sum it up, it is important and makes life so much more beautiful!
An amazing day to you, too, Ute. I love it when I manage to begin my day in a peaceful way.
Me too absolutely!
Choosing to be happy is the key to being happy and content. 🙂 Great post, Ute. xx
Thank you Sylvia! Be happy!
