Okay let’s start off with the simple things. I didn’t really want to include 1 and 2, but what the hell.
Simple but true, Jay z says, you’ve got too dust, that, dirt of your shoulders.
I say, you’ve got to, scrub that, dirt off your back.
So, Numero uno…. ( 1 )
Wash, Shower That Dirt off Your Back
Wash Away the Old Day, So, First things first, as we get to the Ending of the day, Mark the transition from Day to Night With a relaxing bath. Besides the hygiene reasons of having a wash before bed, A wash before bed is Psychological relaxing, Which Wonderfully marks the Beginning of the Evening, and… End of Day – Call it your Evening Ritual. It’s an Undeniable fact, that All People - You included , feel Greater after bathing. Unlike other things in life , You’ll Never here anybody say, After Bathing , Oh my god, I can’t believe I did that.
Moving to ( 2 ) - Organization
Sooner Rather then later, Prepare clothes for next day
Its sounds SO Anal… But Preparing your Clothes for the next day is a great time management exercise and does wonders for your over all organization. Prepare everything from, your exercise gear to the clothes you’re going to work , other then saving you time, it great for conditioning your intentions deep into the mind, especially when it comes to doing your morning exercise’s . Be determined to Establish this routine as a habit, so you can perform it on auto pilot.
Complete any Unfinished Business ( 3 )
“Two things rob people of their peace of mind: work unfinished and work not yet begun. Don’t delay your success, don’t make tomorrows work any heaver!”
I learnt this lesson from a good friend, an ex house mate, he inspired me with his determination to complete his work. Staying up all night if needs be too complete work or just to remain on schedule…
( 4 ) You got Business to do?… If Yes – get to work, On your Business,
Let your Personal Resolve kick start your will Power into full force to get the job done. If it means you have to stay up into the late hours of the night, do it, get to business. If the task is important to you and you can pull out an extra hour or so for its completion do it. I can guarantee that if the task is important you will feel a great since of accomplishment and achievement that will be carried over to the next day. This attitude will not only boost your productivity but it will boost your will power. – You know what they say, don’t put off what you can do today, for tomorrow.
Clean up… ( 5 )
Cleanliness is next to Godliness … Get in the habit of cleaning / tidying up, for the day ahead.
A Persons Living Space Says a lot about the them, What Does Your Living space say about You? Does it give you a sense of belonging or comfort, or is it just a place to crash out , Eat, Sleep… And Jet off as soon as the sun rises , if it is the latter, you probably don’t feel too positive about your environment which is a bad thing, you need to create an environment that foresters creativity and growth, not one that you can’t wait to get out of as soon as you awake up. So where do you start, start with ten minutes or so every evening to get things in order, it’s that simple.
( 6 ) Read something spiritual or uplifting
Go to bed with rich seeds of inspiration, food for thought. Deepen and expend your sense of joy connectedness and Spiritual direction. What are you?.. a human being having a spiritual experience or a Spiritual being having a human experience?
( 7 ) Exercise
Virtually every muscle in the human body is exercised, apart from your humble eyes, they work without complaint all day, and some of us even push them throughout the night. In My experience as a Yoga Practitioner, I’ve muscles learnt that the eye’s will reward you well and work a bit harder for you, when exercised regularly- Try this out ( eye exercises). So naturally the hours before bed makes a great opportunity to relieve the stress built up in the eyes, infact don’t forget the Neck muscles, shoulders muscles and face .
Juggling for Relaxed Alertness
Induce your mind and body into a state of relaxed alertness. Combined juggling and yoga/stretching. When juggling, Whenever I drop a ball, it becomes an opportunity to have a good stretch in order to reach for the ball or balls – Remember to repeat stretch on both side’s of the body, if you can’t juggle this is your opportunity to learn and discover the Personal development Benefits of juggling here & here, Learn How to Juggle, here.
