T.I.M.E.

Greetings all!

How are your mornings? Are they relaxed or frantic? Do you dread your day with its to-do list or do you wake up knowing you have everything well in hand?

Of course, one can prepare a to-do list the evening before. But what about other ways to make mornings feel more mindful and less rushed? 

I recently did a meditation with Jay Shetty on CALM - and he introduced the T.I.M.E. routine that does just that. Incorporating a routine – any routine, even a short one! – makes you feel in control, and it doesn’t take a lot of time to add T.I.M.E. to your day!

So what is T.I.M.E?

Thankfulness – Recognize your own gifts, as well as be thankful for and to the others.  Or you can just say “Thank you for a great day ahead!”

Insight – Find something that inspires you and makes you grow (e.g., a class, a book, or a podcast).

Meditation – Breathe and just be, even if it is just for several deep breathes!

Exercise – Move. I am not a morning person so I cannot imagine getting up and immediately going for a run but I CAN do a couple of easy stretches.

Don’t you love a good acronym? What did you think? Drop me a line!
