- Get some beauty sleep.
Sleep is important for lowering the risks of serious health problems, helps us think more clearly, be in a better mood and reduce on stress levels. Re-evaluate your priorities so that you can have more sleep. Are you staying up late watching movies? Did you waste away precious time during the day that you have to work at night? Are you taking on too much and might need to delegate? Get creative to have some good quality sleep so you can have a better day.
- Start the day in God’s word.
God’s word puts us in the right frame of mind. It removes anxiety, worry, hopelessness and restores our peace, joy and hope. The encouragement we receive from God’s word is unmatched. God also through His word gives us direction for our lives, helps us have better relationships and do our work purposefully. No time spent in God’s word is wasted. God speaks to us through His word so be sure to spend some time with your Creator on a daily basis.
- Eat a healthy breakfast. You have had the saying, “A hungry man is an angry man.” How true this is. We can almost do nothing on an empty stomach but when we have had a nutritious breakfast we have the energy to start our day on a high note. Do not skip breakfast.
- Practice gratitude with a gratitude journal.
We are living in such difficult and unpredictable times and it is often hard to see anything good to be grateful for. However, because God is good, there is always good and it is now up to us to find the good that already exists. At the end of each day, take out your gratitude journal and note down what you are grateful for, this is guaranteed to lift up your spirits and help you have a positive outlook on life. In as much as we look forward to better days, we must also appreciate where we currently are.
