Simply..start at the very beginning....

Sometimes crtises make you want to rethink things. My own and my family's health crises have recently put me in that frame of mind.

I think it was Tony Robbins who said that the biggest problem is that people think they shouldn't have problems! The notion that a crisis is also an opportunity seems a useful one and I want to explore that idea.

Keeping it smple I thought about how I start my day.

How do you waken up?

Naturally, after a sound sleep and in good time for whatever you want to do?

No, me neither! Or rarely...

You are such a positive thinker, Freda - looking at a crisis as an opportunity. Here's hoping your and your family's crises are resolved swiftly.
I shall try to have this attitude, having had several crises myself in the last few months.
I wish I could waken up naturally and be full of energy to greet the new day. As you say - rarely.

I have simply never seen any utility in thinking negatively! And I am often inspired by peoples resilience when in much worse situations than mine. Good luck in finding little opportunities to make things better.

Wishing you and your family very well, Freda.

To learn to laugh while seeing this would be wonderful!

We all forget how important good health is in our lives and I have been moping this year as one thing after another broke down but I did manage the other day to be truly grateful that I was healthy. The saying as long as you've got your health must feature in one form or another around the world. Waking refreshed after a good night's sleep, I would think, is a building block for coping with the day so will wish you sweet dreams, Freda, and hope for good health for you and your family.

Thank you so much, Sheena, and I wish the same for you. Being grateful is in itself healing. I think

I try to never have anything scheduled in the morning so that it is only about coffee, cuddling my 3 puppies, watching the birds, and visiting with my husband. I find it is my best start for a good day. I usually sleep well because I take a sleeping aid. Have had lots of crisis opportunities in my life and all is quiet for now. I know life can change at a moment so trying to stay in the present and enjoy it. Hope all your crisis clear up soon, Freda.

That sounds like a beautiful morning routine MaryR. And you chose to make it that way.

You created it. I think it’s really important how you start your day. Thank you for your good wishes.
