This simple 20-minute routine in the morning can be a life changer for you! Use the acronym MIST to help you remember the four segments. M for Meditation, I is for Intentions, S is for Stretching/breathing, T is for Thankfulness/appreciation. This exercise only takes 20 minutes each morning and you can do it from your bed so there’s no excuses! Try it for a few weeks and see how your life changes in a positive direction.
Spend five minutes on each segment at the start of your day. You can speak these out or just say them to yourself in your thoughts. The following are suggestions, please be sure to use the phrases that resonate with you personally.
Meditation - This is about clearing your mind. It’s not time for you to figure things out or make plans for the day. It’s about stopping thought and releasing all resistance. When a thought comes to your mind, just gently say “clear”. Most people find it best to
find something to focus on, like the sound of a fan, white noise, running water, a clock ticking or meditation music. This exercise will help settle your brain, and the more you do it, it will remove the racing, anxious thoughts in your head.
Intentions - Speak out your intentions for the day ahead. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Everyone I meet is going to be kind to me.
I’m going to meet people that are going to make my life more joyful and exciting.
I am going to have fun.
I am going to have a lot of creative experiences.
Everything is always working out for me. and
This is going to be the best day ever!
Stretching/Breathing - Spend five minutes in a pose that feels good to you that stretches your back, legs and arms. It is best to hold each position for 20 seconds.
At this time, you’re also going to do some deep breathing. Breathing deep into your diaphragm to the count of six and out slowly to the count of six. This is a great time to be mindful of the awesomeness of your body and how magnificently it works to keep you alive and healthy.
Thankfulness/appreciation - Being thankful and appreciative for the things you have is the most important thing you can do daily. This is a time where you say things like:
Thank you, God, for this bed.
Thank you for my home.
I appreciate the warmth of my home.
I am thankful for the food I have to eat.
Thank you that I have loving friends.
I have all the money I need and live in complete abundance.
I choose during this time to go into a physical thankfulness as well, where I say things like:
Thank you for my mind being clear.
I have a great memory.
I appreciate that my lungs are working perfectly, and I can breathe deeply.
Thank you, Lord, that my heart is pumping perfectly and sending oxygen throughout my body.
Thank you that my liver and kidneys are detoxing my body.
I am thankful that my immune system is working perfectly and keeping me healthy.
I am strong, healthy and getting younger every day!
As I mentioned, these words and thoughts need to be the words and thoughts that resonate with you personally to be effective. What I have shared just gives you an idea of some phrases that use personally.
Your brain does not know anything unless you tell it, so even if you are not feeling these things in the moment, speak them over yourself as if you are. For instance, if you are not in the healthiest place currently, still say, “Thank you that I am healthy.” and focus on wellness and not the illness. If you are having financial issues, speak abundance over yourself and don’t focus on lack of money. If you are having relationship issues, speak over yourself that you have great relationships with the people around you.
This is not to be taken lightly, this exercise that only takes a few minutes each morning, in the comfort of your bed and can have life changing results!!!! The Bible says we speak blessing or curses, life or death. . . . choose life! Your words and thoughts
have tremendous power over you and your life! Everything you say it is either negative or positive, so no matter where you are, keep your thoughts positive and pure and your life will move in that direction!
