Having blissful mornings is very important for you to feel enriched and happy throughout the day. Try to sleep well the previous night and wake up early. Spend some time with yourself, meditate and reflect on philosophical questions rather than worrying about the day ahead. Plan your day and avoid watching the television or computer as soon as you wake up. You can start your mornings by listening to some music which will help you throughout the day.
All of us want to wake up in the mornings with the feeling of being on top of the world and stay this way throughout the day. But this does not happen to everyone on all days. So today, we thought we will digress a bit from our usual personal finance fundas and talk a bit about how you can start your day well.

It is said that the key to making your day rich is to start with blissful mornings. Here are some tips on how to have a worthwhile morning:

Sleep well and wake up early – Waking up early is perhaps the most difficult thing to do for most of us. Nevertheless, waking up early or atleast waking up at a time which gives you sufficient ‘me’ time is the first step in making your day rich. It is important to give yourself that personal time before you rush in getting ready for the day. Sleeping well during the night is critical to help you wake up early and start the day on a positive note.

Spend some time by yourself: After you finish your morning schedule, try spending some time in a quiet corner of your home without being disturbed. You can meditate to relax your mind and body. Usually, in the mornings as soon as you wake up, your mind is in a quiet state and therefore it is considered to be the best time to meditate.
Ask yourself questions: As a part of meditating, you can ask yourself questions which can guide you to a better day. Instead of worrying about the day ahead, ask yourself what you can look forward to, or the things you are grateful for in your life. We don’t usually realise, but it’s our thoughts in the morning which direct our actions throughout the day.

Do not switch on the television or your laptop: In this busy world, we all are glued to our electronic equipments. It is no surprise that many of you may reach out to your laptop or mobile or watch TV as soon as you wake up. Instead, try and enjoy your morning tea or coffee in peace without these distractions. You don’t want your morning to start on a wrong note with some information overload.

Plan your day: Planning in advance can help you deal with the many challenges you are likely to face during the day. We are not asking you to worry and fret about what might happen. Instead, chalk your schedule in your mind and the things you would like to complete during the day.

Listen to music or something soothing: The power of music has always been underestimated by most people. However listening to something which lifts your mood or something spiritual can help you a great deal. For example, if you are a South Indian, you can listen to Sri Venkatesa Suprabhatam or if you are a Sikh, you can start your day by listening to Gurbani Sangit, or if you are a Jain, you can listen to Navkar Mantra in the mornings and so on.

Starting the day on the right note is an important step to make your day rich. Let us know how you start your mornings.
