How do you start your day?

As I groggily reach my hand out for my daily morning fix of green tea my better half switches on the TV to listen to the news.I close my eyes tightly trying to decide whether i should drink my tea in silence or pour it down his neck. I love my man dearly but his need to be informed about what has happened in the world while he was sleeping, first thing in the morning, is something I just cannot fathom. I think the way we start our day is very significant as it leaves its impact on how we  feel as our day unfolds with life's challenges.Getting deluged with news events of everything that is going wrong in our world from corruption, environmental disasters,violence, inflation, dirty politics, accidents to an entire gamut of human misery is something I don't really find very palatable early morning.When we get up in the morning we need to feel safe, happy and hopeful about our lives and the world we live in. We need a dose of happiness to infuse our lives with enthusiasm so that we can step out and face the tough and challenging world outside.What we need is time to meditate, to listen to soothing music, exercise, read a prayer and listen to positive efforts being made by individuals, organisations and countries. So go change your mornings.
