NLP Exercises for a Positive Morning Routine Promoting Well-being and Productivity:
1) Just before arising from bed in the morning, pause for a moment and don't get up. Relax and contemplate any dream recollections you just had. Ask yourself what symbolic significance such a dream could have had for you. Assume your subconscious mind provided those images to you for a reason. By asking yourself what that reason might be while relaxed and immediately after awakening, your subconscious mind oftentimes will provide you with an instructive answer for the day.
2) When you do arise from your bed, give yourself a quick self-massage and reiterate confident healing messages to yourself, like "I am strong & healthy," "I feel good about myself," "All areas of my body are filled with invigorating energy," etc.
3) As you go through your morning ritual, be as conscious as possible without going unconsciously into an automatic. To assist this process, do things in a different order than usual or use your non-dominant hand for various tasks, like twisting off bottle caps, stirring your coffee, combing your hair, brushing your teeth, or buttoning a garment.
4) While going to work, reiterate positive statements to yourself about what you want to do, how you want it to happen, and visualize yourself in the positive process all the way through to its completion.
5) Open up your mind and consciously drink in the sights, sounds, odors, and bumps in the road as you drive to work. Observe the street signs and billboards and play at spelling the words backward to yourself as you pass them.
6) At work, make a point of delivering some complimentary words each hour to your workmates. Find someone you normally have difficulty with and sincerely compliment him (her) in a positive way on something unique to their personality.
7) Study people and step into their shoes and imagine what they are feeling and see if you can tell what is going on inside their head or bothering them. Ask yourself how they would experience what you are experiencing. Note their mannerisms. Are they sincere, truthful, internally angry, confident, or intently attentive? You'll get better at this as you become more aware of your own internal workings.
8) When you first meet someone new, take conscious note of their name and ask them how it is spelled. Study that person's face, clothes, and demeanor and note any unusual features. Caricaturize something ridiculous about those features for better recall later.
9) When eating your daily meals, consciously attend to the process. Observe the food intently, smell it, chew it slowly, savor the subtle flavors, and how your teeth, tongue, and gums react to each morsel.
10) If you become tense, tired, or scattered during the day, focus on breathing rhythmically and deeply for a few minutes. At this time, tune inwardly and ask yourself for inner guidance.
11) Before retiring at night, relax in your bed and mentally visualize in a quick series of images all the events that happened to you throughout the day. Reiterate positive statements to yourself as you breathe slowly and rhythmically. Visualize any goals you have in a series of images through to completion with total personal involvement and confidence that you will achieve them.
