As an avid reader of Gordo Byrn’s blog this line from one of his past posts came to me today while I was finishing up some errands…
“No matter what the day holds, I start with a win.” [LINK]
A morning win for me might be:
- Working out
- Reading or listening to a podcast
- Having breakfast with my GF
- A call with a friend
- Watering plants
- Doing mundane paperwork
- Dropping car off for service
- Doing laundry
You get the idea. It doesn’t have to be something monumental, and likely won’t be most days. For me the aim is to pick an activity that’s repeatable and sustainable so that it can continue to be a morning win and set you up for a positive day ahead.
When I start my day with a win it sets me up for another “win” later in the day. These AM Wins give me a mental boost of accomplishment, and is made even better when I cross something off my To Do list. So when the first video call of the day begins I’m already buzzing with energy, a positive attitude and caffeine. 😉
What’s are some of your morning wins?
