Tuesday Tally: Ways to Start Your Day

I've been told breakfast is the most important meal of the day. While that may be true, we also need to feed our mind soul.  It's important to start the day out right, to nourish yourself.

Here's some suggestion on how to start your day:

1. Pray. It's simple to do.  Just stop in your tracks, close your eyes for a moment and pray.  Give thanks for the day you're about to live (regardless of the demands before you) and ask for God's help should the load become too heavy.
2. Tell yourself that it WILL be a good day. Forget about the looming deadline or coworkers on vacation. Item 1 in this list assures item 2.
3. Smile.  No matter your mood or what's going on around you, smile.  That smile will make the boss wonder what's going on.
4. Compliment someone. On second thought, compliment everyone.  Sometimes being nice(r) gets you through the most difficult day.
5. Drink lots of water.  When you're dehydrated, even slightly, you will feel achy and tired -- especially as you get older.
6. Skip the depressing news and turn on the Travel or Food channel.  You deserve more than violence and mayhem.
7. Pray again.  Sometimes God is the only one who is really listening.

So what are you doing to start your day off the right way?  Let me know.
