One Easy Way To Improve Your Day — Every Single Day

When you wake up, don’t look at your phone.

That’s it.

Your day will be better if you don’t connect with others before connecting with yourself. I promise.

Keep the first part of your morning for silence. No screen, no outside news, no conversation.

Start your day with something easy that feels nourishing to you: a positive thought or a moment of gratitude, some time for journaling, meditation or prayer, a walk in nature, gentle stretching or breathing, a good book and a cup of coffee or tea or hey, even chocolate. It doesn’t matter what it is; create a morning practice.

Use this time to check in with your body, with your thoughts, and with your feelings. Set the tone for your day.

Then, when you feel grounded, when you feel like yourself, when you’re happy to be alive — only then, engage with others.

I’ll re-emphasize: stay with yourself until you’re ready for thoughts and energy that are not yours.

Turn off alerts.

Don’t check your email.

Don’t watch or read about the world.

Pretend you’re invisible.

This is easy, and you will benefit.

Furthermore, you will likely notice that, in fact, most of your problems and most of your stress are caused by factors outside of yourself and that by taking the time to understand and find compassion with yourself, you will be more understanding and compassionate with others.
