Starting the day

I start my day with mediation. I usually do one of three things or a combination. I have morning prayer which I do every day, maybe reading from one of those books of wisdom that gives you a quote for the day and meditate on that quote. And then I process what do I have to do that day, what are the meetings that I have to be in, what’s the purpose of those meetings, what do I want to get out of them. I visualize what the day should look like. In a five minute period I’ll see the entire day and what I want to come out of that day and what do I need to challenge myself to do for that outcome that I’ve visualized to exist. And then I take a step back from that, usually try to think about nothing for the next five minutes and then start my day. I work hard early in the mornings.
