How you start your day sets the tone for how the rest of your day unfolds. Each new day is the opportunity to push the reset button and choose how you want to focus your attention today.
Meditation first thing in the morning is a great way to clear your mind and allow your vibration to rise. The higher your vibration the better you feel emotionally and physically. The benefits to meditation are many but the one I want to focus on now, is stopping your patterns of resistant (negative/unhelpful) thoughts.
When you quiet your thoughts, your vibration automatically rises to your natural state of vibrant Well-Being; and your “sending & receiving signal” is reset to blessings, clarity, creativity, health and an abundance of all good things.
In my mind that is a really big payoff for 15 minutes a day!
Below is a simple process that you can use to help you quiet your mind, raise your vibration and set your focus or intention for the day.
First thing in the morning find a place where you can sit quietly for about 5 minutes without being disturbed. Get comfortable, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Start with the letter A and search your mind for “feeling words” that feel good to you.
For example: A – appreciation, abundance, allowing. Choose as many or as few words as feel good to you. When you feel complete with A, move on to B. Keep repeating this sequence until you make it all the way to Z. There is no right or wrong here – don’t force this and be light and playful about it. You can use any word, or words you want if they feel good!

Focus Card Instructions
Once you finish with your ABC meditation, ask yourself how you’d like to feel today. For example: “I’d like to feel happy” Take an index card or a piece of paper and write “Happy” in the center and then fill in around it with words that feel like happy. Ponder for a bit and sit with things that feel like happy.
For example – light, carefree, excited, joyful, etc. If you want to, you can use colored pencils or markers and get artistic, or not – again, do what feels good to you. Keep this simple and approach it as a fun and playful exercise. Keep your card with you throughout the day and keep reminding yourself that it is your intention to feel “happy” today.
If you want to take it one step further you can “tap in” your good feeling words.
