how I start my day

Some of the most important moments of our life involve the time of morning. It is the time when the mind is fresh and quite free from all the stress of life. We should wake up carrying a little of joy when we yawn and leave all our stress and tension with the peaceful sleep. We should be grateful to god that we wake up to the rays of sunlight to start a day afresh and full of surprises as there aren't many people who are lucky enough to see sunshine every day. 
I usually spend my first few moments by chanting the name of holy one and taking his blessings for the day ahead (that is before I press the alarm clock off ;D) I open my eyes and stretch my body to tell it that its high time I leave comfort and spend time on doing something fruitful. I arrange the bed and then I usually stand near my window to wish good morning to the little world outside and receive back the warmth. The beautiful mother nature makes me smile to start my day. Then I get ready for work and binge on a light but healthy breakfast (usually cereal, milk or fruits). I make a mental to-do list afterwards and prioritise the jobs at hand. I do not recommend to prepare a mental checklist of work when you take a shower or freshen up, as the word itself suggest these things helps us to begin the day with a relaxed and calm mood. So make sure you do not panic-stricken yourself with loads of work thoughts during the first moments. Some people prefer to go through a newspaper or a magazine for they feel it is the best time to utilise the energy of brain. But I rather prefer you should work towards your mental health than working mentally. Do a bit of yoga or take a small stroll to check if everything's alright with nature. Spend quality time with your family. If you suffer from stress then do take out five minutes to read a motivational quote each day (Google it) to help build yourself or peek into the mirror and introspect yourself.
 Sip your favourite cappuccino while playing with your pets. But make sure you keep away from any of the electronic gizmos. Since you are going to keep yourself glued to them in the later part of the day, its always good to avoid them for now.
