When you first wake up in the morning, there’s a small window of opportunity before the mind kicks in with its memories, problems and to-do list. As you become conscious of who you are and the story of your life, remember to greet this new day with a warm smile.

​

Start your day with the realisation that it’s truly a blessing to be alive. Not only are you alive, but you have been given the gift of a brand new day.

​​

Today, everything is new, as long as you’re not living in your remembered past and letting it interfere with the freshness of this day.

​

Smile because today is a gift. Smile because it makes you and the people around you feel good. Smile because it brightens your face. Smile because you can.

 

Waking up with a smile isn’t something to pressure yourself about. It's simply a beautiful way to begin your day.
