How to wake up in a positive mood

Hello Patricia,

Taking the time to express gratitude for life works for me. Focusing upon what is good and wonderful in your life might also be effective.

I like Joanne’s View.

For me a cup of coffee is always a great reason to wake up :-)! A new day always presents us with new opportunities and challenges…and that is good enough for me.

Hi Patricia!

Setting the intention on going to bed that you will have a good night’s rest and wake up refreshed and feeling wonderful.

Sleep well.

I agree with Joanne. Every morning when I wake up I make a point to write or say 3 things that I am thankful for. And then, like Harris, follow it up with a great cup of coffee too!

All of the other responses are great advice. Whether it’s coffee or hot green tea with mint and a bit of honey (one of my favorites), having something to look forward to after your first steps out of bed is a solid start to a dynamite day.
