What makes you get out of bed?


What makes you get out of bed in the morning? What drives you to begin your day? What inspires you and keeps you yearning for more? What is your purpose in this day?

These are some of the questions that we need to ask ourselves everyday to make sure we are on the right path. Will your day be extraordinary, merely passing, or awful? Those first few moments you are awake usually determines how it will go.

Take a few moments each morning when you awake (still in bed) and take your legs side-to-side a few times to loosen up your spine. In the morning your body is relaxed and warm and will respond well to stretching. Bring your knees into your chest and breath deeply in and out to get the lungs energized. Then reach your arms over your head and do a full body stretch to energize your spine. Do this every morning (and evening) and you will put a positive start on your day. The release of your body from the stretches will translate into your mind as well leaving you refreshed and invigorated!
