Clarity

I woke up extra early today to take a friend to the airport and surprisingly I wasn't moody or groggy. I hate early mornings, but I'm actually a lot more productive in the morning. I took a few moments to enjoy the quiet and the stillness of a new morning. A lot of times I'm distracted by the TV or I scroll through my phone when I first wake up. But today I started off a little differently. I opened some mail I had laying around, and found a couple of Thank You cards. I love receiving little notes of gratitude from friends so it was the perfect reminder that I needed to be grateful for all of God's blessings. Even when things don't go as I planned I still have a reason to be grateful. No matter how small or big, God continues to bless me in spite of my flaws and shortcomings. I read my devotional and prayed. I continued to meditate to help clear my mind, and I felt refreshed. After a stressful week of migraines this change in routine was definitely needed. I wrote down a few personal goals and I was equipped to take on the day. I know that some of us hate getting up early or we're in such a rush that we forget to just stop and take a moment for clarity,  but making a few changes in your daily routine can do a lot more for you than you think. How do you start off your day? I hope each day brings you peace.
