It’s dark outside, and the alarm clock is already reminding you that it’s time to go to work. Who among us has not cursed the whole world at this moment? But it is quite possible to turn the first moments of awakening into pleasure.
There is a special condition. Between night and morning, between sleep and reality, between past and future. When you are already awake, but your eyes are still closed. And you have a minute or ten — to realize yourself in the coming day. A little bit. But these are very important moments. Because it is then that we set ourselves a program, we turn on emotions.
But what, to hell with emotions, when it is dark, snowy, disgusting outside the window? In winter, even children wake up gloomy. And we lie and curse: work, children’s school, murderous climate. We don’t want to open our eyes and get up. Most common phrase: «I wouldn’t wake up until April.»
People are already very gloomy and nervous in the morning. And especially in winter. Everything infuriates me: that you need to turn on the light, that there are dishes left in the evening, that the children are digging, and the husband sniffs too loudly. Or the wife is not as beautiful and slim as in the first year. But most of all we are irritated by ourselves. Because we can’t do anything about the morning blues and imperfections of the world.
First of all, it is important to find something very pleasant in the coming day. It’s easy. Any nonsense
The most frequent family discord — they are just in the morning. Terrible time. In general, I am no different from the unfortunate fellow citizens. I am also nervous and gloomy in the morning.
But there are these cherished moments — before you get up. I learned how to conduct them properly and turn on the correct “mode”.
Cursing cold and darkness is a hopeless occupation. They won’t disappear. Thinking about unwashed dishes and a stupid boss is like killing a new day. It will only get worse from there. I’m starting to think about something completely different. Gently program yourself.
So, the first thing is to find something very pleasant in the coming day. It’s easy. I love fluff. Where to go for lunch, for example? Food — it generally tones and invigorates us all. Why not go to that pizzeria with such a great tiramisu? Yes exactly! There! And bring someone nice with you. This is forty minutes of pleasure, and even an hour. I already have more fun.
We are all children, especially in the early morning, under the covers, when no one touches us yet and we lie to ourselves and dream
What else will be good today? Well, I’m a man, I have my pleasures. Although I also like to think about clothing stores. Let’s say I need gloves. And what? Here I begin to think about which ones.
But while I’m dumb with gloves — any woman will make a convincing list of twelve points. Including inexpensive green stone earrings, which I liked so much last Thursday when I accidentally looked into the jewelry store. And maybe no one will go to the store today, it’s not important at all. It is important that we are looking for small highs and pleasures. We are already looking at the day through the prism of green pebbles. It seems that the mood has improved markedly.
You can plan your evening here. Also not Newton’s binomial. What do we have there? Cool salad? New series? Children’s book? Everything is fine, everything will be fine. A bottle of wine is especially warm. Great idea, by the way. A light drink on a winter evening is just what you need. A glass, or even two. With a friend or neighbor. Finally with my husband. The husband must not be forgotten. By the way, he also needs gloves … Oh, girls, so much trouble!
The main thing is to think only about the future. Because the future is wonderful and amazing, even despite the pension reform
Well, I admit that none of this will come out today. No pebbles, no tiramisu. For different reasons. Then we turn on long-range planning. What’s ahead? Lord, New Year, of course! This is where Olivier is full of joys. Let’s think about it. These are very pleasant thoughts. We are all children, especially in the early morning, under the covers, when no one touches us yet and we lie to ourselves and dream.
Thoughts about the New Year will cheer up anyone you want. This is the main trick of my morning auto-training — the anticipation of joy. Think at least about the vacation, Yes, before it is still a very long time. But can you dream? The sea is there, the beaches, mojitos, breakfast on the balcony… Oh, food, food again!
The main thing is to think only about the future. Draw your perspective. Because the future is wonderful and amazing, even despite the pension reform. And memories, even the best ones, relax and can generally plunge into the blues: oh, how good it was then, but now?
In short, in these few minutes the brain comes out of the twilight. And you get up — not exactly with a feeling of happiness, but quite cheerfully. Although I sometimes invent something for myself that I suddenly notice: I am smiling. I lie with my eyes closed and smile. Fine. Forward! The day has begun.
