Waking up in the morning with positive thoughts is really important, morning is the most important part of the day. Why? - Because this way it can easily set the mood for the rest of your day! Your mind is most open in the morning and what you put in it will stay in it, until at least the end of the day. It is for this reason that often, if you are awakened by a sound or a song, you may be able to easily recall it again and again throughout the day.
Any negative thoughts you have will shape your subconscious for the entire day. Realize, if you wake up and say today’s going to suck, then it will suck. Your subconscious would be imbued with a belief that “today sucks” and would work with your mental filtering systems and all of your senses to perceive information accordingly. There’s a lot to it, but the point of this article is to give you a list of tips to start your day off the right way, so back on track.
1. Get up fast.
Waste no time in getting up. When you wake up, get out of bed as fast as you can! The best cure for procrastination is action – so if you’re procrastinating about getting out of bed, just force yourself to get up! Jumping out of bed will spike your metabolism, and will end all thoughts of “just lying there” a little bit more. Try to put the alarm clock as far as possible from your bed, this will force you to jump out of the bed and go turn it off, this is a good drive to get you up.
2. Day light.
Bright, natural light is ideal for bringing the most energy to all body systems. The power of light is severely underestimated by most people. But the light can have profound effects upon body chemistry and energy levels. So, the sooner you turn on the lights, or open the blinds preferably, the sooner your body’s systems will increase their energy levels. The longer you keep it dark, the harder it will be to wake up – that simple.
3. Keep your room clean.
Waking up to a clean and organized room has a positive first impression upon your mind. Waking up to dirty clothes and full of dust room might be a negative impact on your mind. This may seem like a bit of a feng shui thing, but give it a try, and you will realize – it does work. It’s easier to leave a room when it’s clean and relatively organized, versus one that is piled high and more “cozy.” Keep your room star, put things away from you’re done using them. It will help. This one may not seem that significant, but believe me, it is.
4. Let the fresh air in.
Open the window. No matter what season it is. Open the window. Your bedroom has sat stagnant all night, void of fresh air, especially if you leave your door closed as I do. When you open the window you create a cross draft to bring in fresh air. You have lowered the oxygen level by breathing the same air in the room at night. However, as soon as you open the window, you bring in fresh air with high oxygen levels – instantly raising your energy level. Even if it is cold outside, open the window just a bit. When it’s cold out, it will have even more of an effect – the cool, denser air will carry more oxygen, and the temperature alone will help you to awaken.
5. Music.
Music might not be too motivating for you as it is for others, but music can really shape your mornings. Turn on music as soon as you can after waking up. Make sure it is something positive and uplifting – as chances are it may become stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Personally, I love pounding trance in the morning – it’s positive, uplifting chords and driving bass last with me all day. Make sure you’re listening to something that pulls you up… not down. Also, if music is not available, any high frequency sound chords can work.
6. Cold shower.
Take a cold shower. Yes, freezing cold is unbearable. You don’t have to do it that way. Start it off hot. Then, after you’re medium-toasty (not well-toasty… it will make you more tired), put it on cold for as long as you can take it. Then, put it on hot for a minute, then cold for a minute. Repeat the hot-cold cycle a few times, this will not only wake you up fast, but it will expand and contract your pores to force out toxins and oils from the night. End the shower with a cold rinse, you want to be cold when you step out… it’s critical, as it will raise your metabolism, and keep it there. Try the cold shower thing for a week – you’ll notice a difference. A long, hot shower depresses your physiological systems and makes you want to go back to bed. A cold, invigorating shower will wake you up – fast. Try it.
7. Breakfast
Before breakfast the first step you need to do is drink a full glass of water before you eat anything. This is essential for your body, if you have an empty stomach the toxins will be flushed down, and pass out with your urine, with no food to absorb them. After a few minutes take you breakfast and do not forget about it. How many times have you heard that the most important meal of the day is breakfast? Your body has been starved for eight hours or more, and breakfast is crucial. Breakfast jumpstarts your metabolism, if you get the proper foods it will actually help you lose weight and stay lean. Go online and look for how to eat healthy or go search my blog for some tips. It’s important if you get the right component need for the body to start right in the morning. Make sure you eat some fruit, some protein, and some carbs.
8.Motivate yourself.
Motivation should be the most important part of any morning routine. In the morning, you need to load yourself with as much positive mental programming as possible. Your mind is most receptive to it in the morning (and at night), and it will shape the rest of your day. Your programming comes in many different forms, and it is our job to help you use it to your advantage.
So, if you would like to have a positive day ahead, you need to start off from the right track. Try to use some of these tips presented above and you will get more energy instantly for the rest of the day.

I’ve been meditating with a Holosync CD for about two years now. I usually actively meditate once a week. I’ve started going to sleep with the CD and have found that I not only wake up feeling alive but energized. Before, I would wake up and say my affirmations but wasn’t feeling energized. This has been great for me. I agree that starting your day off with positive mental programming is very important. I love affirmations; they are very powerful.

sorry for the odd post, but I new at this and wanted to say I really like your site.
May 12th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Who wouldn’t want to quickly have a new product to try. Hot item in my area…and I got it at a good price

Great Blog! I have a similar site, and get a lot of spam. Do you face such problems? Can you please recommend some steps I take to combat spam. Thanks.

I know it will be cliche to quote Tina Turner songs… but this is “simply the best”! I swear by this like a religious zealot!

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information.

Recently, I didn’t give so much thought to writing comments on blog entries and have left comments even less. Checking out your insightful page, will probably encourage me to do so more regularly.
May 24th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
gooday there, i just found your web portal on bing, and i must comment that you express exceptionally good via your web portal. i am actually taken by the mode that you express yourself, and the subject is quality. in any event, i would also like to acknowledge whether you would love to exchange links with my website? i will be certainly more than happy to reciprocate and drop your link off in the link exchange area. anticipating for your reply, i would like to convey my appreciation and gooday!
May 25th, 2010 at 11:13 am
Great stuff from you, man. Ive read your stuff before and youre just too awesome. I love what youve got here, love what youre saying and the way you say it. You make it entertaining and you still manage to keep it smart. I cant wait to read more from you. This is really a great blog.
May 26th, 2010 at 8:33 am
I truly see that your statement is rather incisive as it comes with lots of good data. In Any Event, was overcurious whether you would want to interchange contacts with my web portal, as I am looking to compile more contacts to further amplify and get better web exposure for my web portal. I don’t really mind you laying my links at the home page, just approving this web links on this particular web page is good and sufficient. Anyway, please leave a message at my web portal if you are interested in swapping links, I would really like that. Thanks a lot and hopefully to get a reply from you soon!
