If you want to avoid getting up on the wrong side of the bed, here are some suggestions for a morning spiritual practice.
Start the Night Before
A good morning begins with a good nights sleep the night before. When going to sleep, say a prayer of thanksgiving for all the blessings in your life. We all have problems and some of us have terrible problems, but when going to sleep be thankful that you are alive and breathing and have a safe place to sleep.
Stretch Into the New Day
Before getting out of bed, take some nice relaxing breaths and stretch out a bit. Avoid jumping out of bed. Take it nice and easy for a few minutes as the first few minutes awake can set the tone for the whole day. If you had good dreams, be grateful. If you had unpleasant dreams, let those visions go and just accept that sometimes the mind processes our problems during our dreams. Use this time to let go and stretch.
Save Ten Minutes for Spiritual Reading
Read an uplifting passage from any book that helps you to get into touch with the Divine spark within you. As you read, remember that We Are All One and that no matter what happens as the day goes on, the spirit within you is there to make the best choices.
Give Thanks for the New Day
Give thanks to the God of your understanding for the new day, and commit yourself to being in as good a mood as possible all day. Remind yourself that kindness is the best path and that at the end of the day, you will feel great happiness if you have walked the path of compassion. You will not only have helped yourself, but your positive energy will have spread to others.
Thank you for reading my blog post. I have written these words for all of us, and I need to write these words and follow this morning practice myself. They say “you teach what you need to learn.”
