14 Ways to Get Up On the Right Side of the Bed

by joi on March 14, 2006

Not long ago, I came across these great suggestions for starting your day “Sunny Side Up.”   They’re by Becky Stephens, a registered nurse, which means she’s one of the hardest working individuals in the world.  Add her profession to a long list of professions I’d never be able to handle.  Not even on a good day.  Not even for one day! 

While I think they’re all worthwhile suggestions, I’d have moved #12 much closer to the top of the list - like, say, #1.  And while we’re arranging and rearranging, let’s just knock off the tea and hot chocolate.

14 Ways to Get Up On the Right Side of the Bed

  1. Stretch your arms and legs.
  2. Take four big healthy yawns.
  3. Say a prayer.
  4. Push back the sheets and jump out of bed.
  5. Take a shower.
  6. Look forward to something.
  7. Exercise for at least five minutes.
  8. Brush your teeth.
  9. Think positively.
  10.  Take a walk.
  11. Breathe deeply.
  12. Enjoy a hot cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.
  13. Consider who you can encourage today.
  14. Thank God for the sunshine and the rain and that you have the strength to appreciate whatever the day will bring.

Have a great day - front to back!
