How To Change Your Life

How did you start your day today? Did you do something empowering and uplifting? Do you have a routine that serves you? Do you have a plan to win the day? Did you eat something healthy for breakfast? Did you take the time to centre yourself? Did you exercise?

Or perhaps you did none of that. Perhaps you hit the snooze button a few times and then slowly slid your way out from under the covers only to realize that you were late for work and now had to rush through the morning to get out the door because you had a meeting to get to. You grabbed what was convenient as oppose to what's healthy for breakfast and made sure to get the extra extra large coffee.

If each of the examples above were two different people, who do you think would have the better day?

Here's the thing, the state of our mind equals the state of our life.

Starting the day in a way that shows your mind you are in control will continue to spread throughout the day. Problems will seem small, little things won't be irritating, the inevitable surprises won't throw you off and you'll become more efficient.

You know you should eat healthy. You know you should exercise. You know reading will help you. You know meditating will centre you. You know you should watch less TV. You know all the things you need to do in order to do better and be better.

Every day these ideas come into your head and you know you should do them but you don't. Why? I would venture to say it's because you're not managing your state. Change your state and you will change your life.
