SILENCE
The major mistake we make when our day starts, we check our mobile notifications which drag us to a very narrow and negative world, where we compare our lives with others, hear negative news, and most importantly spend our countless time on social media scrolling.
Rather than wasting our time on social media scrolling, the first thing we must do is practice silence, we must do meditation or prayer at least for the first 10 minutes of the day. It will make you relax for the day.
AFFIRMATION:
The second thing we do is affirmations. Affirmations are positive statements that you repeat to yourself to encourage a particular mindset or belief. They’re often used in personal development or self-help practices to reinforce positive thinking and reshape one’s attitude or perspective. By repeating affirmations regularly, individuals aim to instill confidence, overcome self-doubt, or manifest specific goals. The idea is that these affirmations, when repeated consistently written or verbally, can influence thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs, leading to positive changes in one’s life.
VISUALIZATION:
Visualization is a mental technique where you create detailed and vivid mental images or scenarios of specific situations, experiences, or outcomes. It involves imagining yourself achieving a goal, experiencing success, or mastering a skill. Visualization is commonly used in various fields such as sports psychology, personal development, and even therapeutic practices. Athletes.
for example, often use visualization techniques to mentally rehearse their performance and improve their skills. Similarly, individuals use it in goal setting or manifestation practices to help them achieve their desired outcomes by mentally “seeing” themselves succeed.
EXERCISE:
Taking a 10-minute walk or engaging in some exercise in the morning can have numerous benefits for both your physical and mental well-being:
A 10-minute walk or exercise in the morning is like giving your body a happy shake to wake it up.

Scribing/Journalling
