Morning Magic.........

I have written about some of this before but I felt I needed to share more......and the other night I got confirmation on what I already know......that the quality of our lives is found in our daily habits......that our joy and and satisfaction is found in what we commit to doing each and every day.....one of the speakers the other night was sharing some life advice and goodness in her speech, and one of them was the importance of having a solid morning routine bursting with stuff to get your mindset right for the day......and I am not sure I have ever agreed with anything more.....my mornings have become this sacred space in my life.....a time I look forward to.......the acronym she referred to is SAVERS.......it is from a book that she read........it says that we should spend our mornings in silence(meditation) .....practicing affirmations......visualization......exercising.......reading........and scribing......and I have to say I do all of those every day.....not even realizing they were a thing??? BUT the power that those practices have brought into my life are immeasurable......and I can say that due to the enormous load of stress at work, and through divorce, these actions are what allow me to feel joy and fulfillment alongside life and its challenges.......and it is a non negotiable part of my day.....my feet hit the floor at 4:30 most days to allow for this routine to take place......and it is worth it......every single day.......today I actually slept in till 6:30 which felt nice too:) and I needed it........But I knew I would still have time to do all of those things that I feel I so desperately need to do......and by the time I leave for work most days after doing that routine and getting my kids ready for the day I feel calm and ready for whatever the day throws at me......it is powerful......I know we all get advice and sometimes find it challenging to take it.......but I urge you to put at least one thing in your mornings if you don't have something there right now......something from that acronym that speaks to your heart and sensibility......I am also seeing now that the people I know in my life that are the most content and peaceful are people that do this too.....the power of it is legit........and really I have learned this year that the journey to become you begins with one step......just one action forward.......one movement toward change.......when I started working out......I did a 1/4 of what I do now.....but I did it every day.....and as it took hold it grew.......its power multiplying........as well as my morning habits......started with blogging.....and coffee at the opening of last year......and now I accidentally hit that profound acronym without even trying:) Cool right? I truly can attest that there is power in getting your mindset right each day before the day takes hold.......I hope this message touches your heart if you are reading it, and you just try something new in the morning......and that it brings you the happiness and peace I have found......and a way to start the day with a smile on your face and magic in your heart!
