Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, this is Madison Lane and welcome back to
build your stoic core. Today we're diving into something super crucial,
starting your day on purpose. Ever, wake up feeling like
you're just reacting to whatever comes your way. You stumble
through the morning catch up emails while simultaneously scrambling for coffee,
and before you know it, you're already running behind feeling frazzled.
(00:22):
Trust me, I get it. We live in a world
that demands constant attention and often leaves us feeling like
we're just on autopilot. But here's the thing. You have
the power to change that. You can start each day
with intention and set yourself up for success both personally
and professionally. Now, when I say starting your day on purpose,
I'm not talking about some rigid, super organized schedule where
(00:45):
you wake up at five a m. Sharp every day.
Unless that's your jam, then rock on. It's more about
consciously choosing how you want to approach the day and
creating a foundation for resilience and balance. Think of it
like laying a strong base before building it anything else.
So here are five key takeaways to help you start
your day with intention. One mindful morning ritual you know
(01:08):
that feeling when you wake up and instantly reach for
your phone. That's our brains craving instant gratification. But starting
your day with a mindful ritual, Even something as simple
as taking a few deep breaths, stretching, or enjoying a
cup of tea in silence, can help you center yourself
before the chaos begins. Two Gratitude check in. Take a
(01:28):
minute to acknowledge the good things in your life, no
matter how small. Did you sleep well or you healthy?
Do you have loved ones who care about you? Cultivating
gratitude sets a positive tone for the entire day. Ever
noticed how even on a seemingly bad day, there are
always little moments of joy if you take a moment
to look for them. It's all about shifting your perspective. Three.
(01:50):
Plan your day, but don't overwhelm yourself. It's not about
creating an ironclad schedule. It's about having a loose plan.
Identify your top three priorities for the day, and allocate
time for them. This gives you direction and helps prevent
feeling overwhelmed by a million tasks. Remember, sometimes the best
laid plans get derailed, so be flexible and don't beat
(02:12):
yourself up if things don't go exactly as Plan four.
Fuel your body and mind. What you put into your
body directly affects how you feel. Start your day with
a nourishing breakfast. Think whole grains, fruits, veggies to fuel
your energy levels and focus, and remember hydration is key.
Keep that water bottle handy throughout the day. You'd be
(02:33):
surprised how often we mistake thirst for fatigue or hunger. Five.
Set intentions before diving into your day. Take a moment
to reflect on what you want to achieve. What kind
of energy do you want to bring, how do you
want to interact with others. Setting clear intentions can help
guide your actions and make your day more purposeful. It's
like giving yourself an inner compass for the journey ahead.
(02:56):
Picture this you wake up, take a few deep breaths,
save for your coffee, and write down three things you're
grateful for. Then you review your top priorities for the
day and get to work. You feel grounded, focused and
ready to tackle whatever comes your way. That's the power
of starting your day on purpose. But don't just take
my word for it. Think about a time when you
(03:17):
felt truly energized and productive. What did you do differently
that day? Maybe you woke up earlier, exercised, or simply
took some time to reflect before diving into your to
do list. Remember, starting your day on purpose isn't about
being perfect. It's about making conscious choices that align with
your values and goals. It's about taking control of your
(03:37):
mornings instead of letting them control you. So what will
you do differently today? Will you incorporate a mindful morning ritual,
express gratitude for the good things in your life. Plan
your day with intention. Remember, even small changes can have
a big impact. I want to hear from you. Share
your thoughts and experiences on starting your day on purpose
