Start Your Day Doing What You Love

I will admit, I don't get out of bed before my girls often enough. It's a hard thing to do; after all, I usually wake up at least 5 times a night due to my bad sleepers and they like to start their day around 7:30. All of that makes for a long night and an even earlier morning if I was to get up before them. On the days I do get up before them I like to take that time to myself. I break out my yoga mat, grab a cup of coffee, and my bible for some me time. I'll do a quick 10 min yoga session to get my body moving (I do this even if I don't wake up early but it's much more peaceful to do it alone), drink a 1/2 cup of coffee while I read a bible verse or two. It gets my heart, mind, body, and soul ready for my day. Just that 15- 20 minutes alone starts my day off on the right foot. It's just me doing what I love to do in the morning and often times it's the ONLY time during the day and night that I get to myself.

So I ask this question to you, what do you love to do alone in the morning? Take a hot shower, go for a jog, read a good book perhaps? I challenge you, and myself, To wake up just 15 min earlier in the morning for the next week and spend that time alone doing what you love to do.  Just 1 week, I'm willing to bet it starts your day off better and sets the pace for the rest of the day. If it doesn't then you can go back to sleeping for that extra 15 minutes no harm done.  Just give it 1 week and let us know how it goes! Good luck!
