The alarm goes off, you wake up and rush along with your morning chores, be it getting ready for work, getting kids ready for school, packing lunches etc.. and ya screaming at the kids or spouses or at your own self . Through all this rushing, we eat a rushed breakfast at home or grab breakfast to go, eat while driving and maybe even manage a call at the same time.
Another scenario could be setting the alarm 15 minutes early than usual and taking out 10 minutes to meditate. “But I have absolutely no time in the morning!!” .. is what I used to say before . When you mediate and spend the first few minutes of the day listening to your inner voice , being aware of what thoughts are going through your mind, being aware of your breath, you start your day by slowing down yourself.. that just means you are more calm, more grounded, more happy and when that happens, you are starting your morning feeling happy and feeling love for yourself and for the people around you. You are thoughtful about the choices you make. The choices could be in terms of what you choose to eat, the words you choose to speak or what you plan to do for that day.
Ofcourse there are side effects of meditating 🙂
1. you will be more calm and happy
2. your stress levels will go down
3. Any stress related health issues will begin to disappear
4. You will be more focussed
The above are only a few..
By the way, from not having any time to meditate in the morning, I have gone on to finding 30 minutes !!
