Don’t believe it? Try this trick: it will only take about 5 minutes but will significantly alter your thinking and approach to the day, making you more productive, serene, focused, and aware of your potential.
All you need to do is answer these 5 questions every morning before getting out of bed — or while you’re in the shower, putting on makeup, or having breakfast.
5-Minute Mindset Trick: 5 questions to ask yourself every morning to be happier
1. What Am I Grateful For?
It could be the person next to you in bed, your beautiful home, or the weekend you just spent doing things that made you feel good.
Why ask yourself this question? You will immediately feel more serene as you start the day by thinking about the things that make you happy, which trains your brain to have a more positive mindset for the rest of the day.
2. What Is the Most Important Thing I Need to Do Today?
It can be work-related or personal; choose one.
This will automatically help you have a clear sense of your priorities, and gain clarity and control over your day.
3. Something “Noteworthy” That Happened Yesterday?
It could be a fun moment, an interesting article you read in the newspaper, or an exam that went well and is finally behind you.
What it does: It makes you aware of something beautiful that you have just experienced and reframes your day.
4. How Do I Feel?
Be honest.
This will help you feel more grounded and in touch with yourself. It prevents you from going on autopilot and risking ignoring your own needs (which always ends up biting you in the back eventually…).
5. What’s Going Well in My Life? And What Could Improve?
This will make sure you are aware and aligned with your preset goals and accomplishments. Being realistic will help you make sure you will achieve your future goals.
Don’t give up if you don’t manage to do everything you initially wanted to do. Take it day by day!
