A Fun Tip for the New Year

A Fun Tip for the New Year
Wednesday, January 1, 2025 by Malinda Martin

A brand new year! Yay! A blank slate, new opportunities.

But does that idea overwhelm you? Are you riddled with stress in making New Years resolutions while filled with guilt over last year’s forgotten goals? I understand completely, and as exciting as it is to reach for new dreams, it can be frustrating.
So try this instead.

Create a morning routine.

A developed morning routine sets you up for a good day, a productive day. Getting out of bed and accomplishing a few specifically chosen tasks will encourage you and catapult you into the rest of your day. Studies show that habits, done every single day, are a steppingstone for success. If you study any mega-successful person, I guarantee that they have a list of things they do every morning before beginning their day.

Now it doesn’t have to be a long list. In fact, it should only be a few things, three to five, that you do daily. But these things can have a massive impact on your life. Here are examples of morning to-dos:

·     Make your bed—gets you up and going as well as giving order to your day.
·     Meditate—Read a chapter of Proverbs from the Bible or inspirational quotes.
·     Go for a walk—Just a short walk in the morning is healthy and inspirational.
·     Write a daily to-do list—Then enjoy marking these things off when accomplished.

Remember to put things that get you going, but also that you look forward to. We all want to be excited to wake up and begin our day. This list should not make us want to pull the covers over our head but to jump out of bed, ready for the day. That means you may want to include watching a funny YouTube video or taking ten minutes to look through a favorite catalog or read a chapter from a favorite book. There are so many ideas for morning routines.

Make your own list and see what happens. Craft one tailor made for you and enjoy the new year!

Blessings,
M.M.
