What’s in your user manual?
Do you struggle with morning routines?
I certainly do.
How can mindless habits make me a better person? Of course, it could be pride on my part, but I can’t sit quietly on that thought.
Is it the habit that makes the day, or is it the thought behind the habit?
Is there something of a morning routine that my sleepy self won’t resist with all the imagination that it can muster?
Jeff Bezos alluded to one such routine of routines at the Economic Club Of Washington in 2018 when he said that his goal is to make three good decisions each day; the link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv_vkA0jsyo
The trick is to make those daily decisions as early as possible before distractions diffuse my good intentions. That is at wake-up time, and they ought to give you three things, a sense of achievement, of security, and purpose.
For me, that means …
Do one material thing that improves my environment immediately.
Acknowledge the child behind my eyes in the mirror.
Commit to making today better for someone else.
The overall principle, it seems, is to be on the outlook for good recyclable ideas.
I hope this helps!
