Creating a More Successful Day With 5 Simple Steps
By Judy Braley
How you start your day can be a critical part of having a successful day. Your thoughts, feelings, and attitude first thing in the morning can shape the entire day ahead. Does your alarm clock scream at you every morning to get up? Rather than facing the day with anticipation, do you have to drag yourself out of bed and then proceed through your morning routine with very little motivation, energy or enthusiasm? Here are five easy steps that can help you change that pattern and improve your attitude throughout the day.
1) Evaluate how you wake yourself up
If you use an alarm clock, think about the sound that you use to wake up and what the volume is. Is is a blaring alarm? The radio? Your cell phone? Is is soothing or does that sound jolt you out of a deep sleep? A loud sound that awakens you suddenly is stressful to your body and mind first thing in the morning.
Some people are able to program their bodies and minds to wake up at the time that they need to be up. But others of us have not mastered that technique, so it's important to find a gentle alternative.
One way to have an easier transition in the morning from being asleep to being awake is to use a progressive alarm clock. There a number of companies that sell clocks that wake you by starting off with a lower volume or with a light which gradually increases in intensity.
After years of jarring myself out of the comfort of sleep with a standard alarm or my cell phone alarm, the product I now use is the Verilux Rise & Shine Natural Alarm Clock. The ratings on Amazon for this product are low, but I've been very happy with mine. I use the pillow speaker and gradually wake up in the morning to the sounds of a running brook. In the evening I gradually fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. The Verilux is a little pricey if you're concerned about money, but you can always ask for it as a gift. Hammacher Schlemmer (go to www.hammacher.com) also makes a progressive alarm clock that seems to get good reviews, and there are others out there. Just make sure to get one that turns on gradually or progressively.
