3 inspiring things to begin a good day
To begin a day with a good start is important, because it will set for you the initial vibration level of the whole day. If you want to live this day well, fulfilled and worthwhile, you should consider how to give your new day a good beginning.
from my own experience, I found that you can use only 3 inspiring things to begin. but before we start, we shall mention one thing:
Get up earlier than before
All these 3 things will take you some time, although not too much time. so it is better to get up earlier than before so as not to be late for your job. In fact, only 30 minutes earlier are enough.
Now let’s begin and the 3 things are:
1. meditation
Set aside 10 minutes or 15 minutes, sit down on a comfort chair or sofa, close your eyes and pay attention to your breath.
Don’t consider how long has passed because the alarm will remind you of it. Don’t resist anything. Quietly feel the occupation of your body, to feel that your body begin to expand and get lighter than ever little by little.
You perhaps will feel sleepy during this process, don’t worry. remember not to try to resist anything. The alarm will remind you of the meditation process. The truth is you will feel ease and relaxed whether you get sleep or not.
When the alarm rings, stand up and drink some water and now begin the second thing.
Mental appreciation
Since I posted a blog about the difference between appreciation and gratitude, I have begun to use appreciation instead of gratitude little by little.
Appreciation is a kind of higher and unconditional love compared with gratitude. It has greater power to make our desires manifested in the physical world.
I have practiced appreciation for a long time. but most of the time, I don’t appreciate things or people directly through words or any other physical actions. Instead, I usually mentally appreciate them.
what is mental appreciation?
The below is just my own definition on mental appreciation:
mental appreciation means expressing your appreciation during the process of meditation,creative visualization, or pink love process.
Mental appreciation says that you can say “thank you” or “I love you” in the virtual reality created by yourself. Your mind has absolute freedom, so it is free for you to do mental appreciation anytime and anywhere.
why mental appreciation?
There are some situations that we can’t directly express appreciation, for example:
- the things or people that you want to appreciate are not before you
- the things you appreciate have not happen
- you feel it is difficult or embarrassing to express appreciation directly
- ……
I have said I used mental appreciation more often than directly express appreciation. The reason are mainly because of the above situations.
Generally speaking, I always appreciate mentally before doing important or difficult things.
for example, if I want to visit a difficult custom, I will first perform mental appreciation for the visit. In the mental appreciation, I will appreciate him for his kindness, his help and goodness. I also will appreciate and visualize the perfect result that I hope. And always, the real result is satisfying.
How to practice mental appreciation?
Just like the pink love process, the mental appreciation process is simple. But it still needs practice.
The overall steps for mental appreciation are:
- 1 enter into a calm state
- 2 make clear the things or people you want to mental appreciate
- 3 visualize a warm, harmony, exciting and happy image in your mind, say “thank you” to the things or people in it, say “I love you” to them and give them a warm hug.
- 4 visualize they are saying what you want to you, doing what you desire for you and giving valuable suggestions to you and so on. appreciate the words and acts from them. appreciate the YOU in the image at last.
Isn’t the process easy? The key is the feelings you get from the visualization and the process of appreciation. You can also use pink love process as the extra steps if you like.
when and where to practice mental appreciation?
Although I mention that it is better to come into peaceful state before mental appreciation, you can still do it any time.
You take responsibility for your own state. Once you are aware of this and treat this seriously, you can get peaceful at any time, any place.
Mental appreciation can be finished in just minutes. It doesn’t matter how long the process lasts. One minute-appreciation can works too if only you are really in the appreciation state.
wherever you are, if you want to appreciate mentally, close your eyes and do it. you will find little by little that it is easier to be in the appreciation and love.
Close your eyes, then create your own world in your mind. Open your eyes, and then find your mental image in the physical world.
Bless you, my all dear friends.
