I find it helpful to start each day by re-defining who I am. This is really a re-affirmation of who I believe I want to be, and helps me to strive to make it happen again today.
Today I want to be aware that I am not in control of the universe. I might need help today to survive. That help may even come from a power greater than me. I will pray and meditate today. I will strive to be a benefit today to mankind.
If I don’t start the day this way I am more apt to fall into old bad habits and selfish motives that lead me to be someone that I don’t particularly admire.
So, I find it helpful to hit the reset button every morning when I wake up. I roll off my bed onto the floor. Say a few prayers about who I want to be, and then meditate for 5 minutes. I use a timer on my phone to help me out with a friendly chime at 5 minutes. It is amazing how helpful this is in setting myself on the right track spiritually and emotionally for the day.
