1 . Positive Ways to Greet the Morning

I don’t always get up early in the morning. Even if I’ve got enough sleep, I rarely leap out of bed in a hurry to go. Transitioning from rest to activity just challenges me.     1    

One thing that has made a really good impact is to sleep with the window a little open when it is safe and the weather is not very cold.     2     Especially, as spring starts to brighten up, the morning air and wind can make me wake up in the sound sleep and greet the morning.

    3     Before I stand up, even before I’ve fully opened my eyes, I sit on the edge of the bed and take a couple of deep breaths while I move my toes and lightly press the balls and heels of my feet into the floor. This makes me feel grounded in my commitment to starting the day, and I like the feeling of moving from lying down to standing up and feeling where my feet land on the ground.

Then I meet myself in the mirror with some positive self-talk.     4     I either encourage myself to begin the day with confidence and perseverance or just think about self-supporting words like kindness, love, hope or peace. And it helps me with a good state of mind in a positive way later.

Finally, I eat breakfast happily before going to school. I often remind myself that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.     5     And that’s true. If you have a test that day, a nice breakfast is always good for your brain!

B．I usually praise myself for something.

C．The air and wind may stop me sleeping well.

D．It gives me nutrition and keeps my mind sharp for the day.

E．I’ve also started taking a moment to feel my feet on the floor.

F．So lately, I’ve been trying out some new ways to welcome the new day.

G．I regularly do warm-up by myself after the self-talk at the end of the day.
