15 minutes

Do you ever feel like you're going through the motions from day to day, feeling stuck in a routine that you didn't actually intentionally choose? But that just... happens? โฃ

We've talked previously about controlling what we can control, and letting go of what we can't. Here's one thing you ๐๐๐ง control, to help you stop being pulled into "the motions" and instead have an intentional, productive, and g.r.e.a.t day. โฃ

Get up 15 minutes earlier each morning. As Craig Ballantine says in ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ง๐ฆ๐ค๐ต ๐๐ข๐บ ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ญ๐ข: "The most important ritual in your life is what time you choose to get out of bed, and the best decision you cna make is to start getting up fifteen minutes earlier". You ๐๐๐ง control what time you wake up, what habits you start the day with.. and what systems you have in place. โฃ
โฃ
When you rise, take action, do the first things first and do what matters. Even if you are slow and groggy, getting up that much earlier gives you a headstart in clearing that slow grogginess and overcoming those morning obstacles. It's a time when you can really gain momentum that will serve you for the rest of the day, and gain the upper hand on all that inertia! โฃ
โฃ
No, you don't need to get up a whole hour in order to "get stuff done" ; 15 minutes is enough time to make a difference and to keep it ""doable"" enough so this new habit can take hold! โฃ
โฃ
Giving yourself this small victory in the morning will not only put you in a positive mood, it will help you make better decisions all day long! โฃ
