The alarm goes off, wake up, turn off the alarm, and… Stop!

 Yes, you read that right! Just stop!

What we generally do when the alarm goes off? We snooze it multiple times, finally, the alert goes off, our eyes open and our mind begins to run through the plan for now and later for the day. With stress mounting, we go after our cell phone. The notice light is blazing: instant messages, WhatsApp messages, updates, etc. There's such a great amount to do! We power up and jump up, hit the shower, drink our tea/ coffees and get going (as of now from the bedroom to the living room!). In only twelve "short" hours, we'll have the option to slow down on the sofa with some more bit of our digitalized life. 

What exactly are we trying to say here?

Well, all we are saying is Connect - with you 

As of now, our heart is dashing, our senses are on the full alarm, and we are set up to hold onto the day by the neckline. We've checked our messages, the climate, the news reports, and the day's plan and the gas tank, and in spite of the fact that we may feel somewhat restless, we appear to be fulfilled that we have everything secured. 

However, somewhere inside we realize we don't. We have neglected to monitor the most significant part of our day: ourselves. We have associated our telephone to the vehicle charger, yet we have neglected to connect ourselves to our inner source of tolerance, appreciation, certainty, and harmony. We've matched up all our Bluetooth gadgets; however, we haven't adjusted our mind, body, and heart. 

So how would we cause this pivotal association with better to set ourselves up to welcome the day with the certainty that we can deal with whatever comes our path and with the internal information that nothing can shake us off our higher ground? It genuinely is a basic, possible procedure: Instead of "wake up and run," try "wake up and stop"

Literally! Wake Up and Stop!

The alarm goes off, the eyes open, feel the appreciation for the new day, thank God for giving us a new day to live and do things better. The concerns of the world can hold up for a while, as we ascend from our bed with motivation to meditate, to sit with ourselves, before connecting with the outside world.

We deal with a couple of things, such as brushing our teeth or walking the pet, and afterward, we go to our peaceful space and close our eyes. For those couple of valuable minutes, we sit with ourselves to be with our breath with no decisions or desires.

Do This Every Morning

In our peaceful space, a room, a corner, on a pad, or on the floor, we sit with the expectation of "investing energy with ourselves," away from the outside world. We pick a contemplation practice. We may start to state our mantra, focus on our breath, and repeat inspirational entries. Any of these can turn into the object of our contemplation that we can take our mind back to when it meanders or gets occupied with thoughts. We let our contemplations travel every which way, however, when the brain begins to draw in an idea we tenderly take our concentration back to the article we have picked. This is our act of being with ourselves, of quieting the mind, as we go inside to get to our internal wisdom, our inner voice, of direction, quality and love. 

In doing this each morning we bring our mind, body, and heart into alignment with the goal that all pieces of us are in the same spot when we approach our day. We get a profound feeling of how we are feeling that specific day which permits us to make modifications where essential.

Through this procedure of checking in with ourselves, we are better ready to perceive the numerous open doors we will have in the day ahead to be.

 In the morning on waking up, open your eyes and first, breath!
