What side of the bed did you wake up on?

Each day we wake up faced with the choice of how we are going to embrace the day.
  
How you embrace the day may depend on the amount of sleep, and the quality of sleep you had during the night.  How many times has your alarm gone off and you hit the snooze button because you are not ready to get up?  The quality of the sleep you had can make a tremendous difference on how you see the day.

Have you ever heard the term “he/she woke up on the wrong side of the bed?”  How many days during the week do you wake up feeling crabby and out of sorts?  Although sleep may be ". . . little slices of death” (Edgar Allen Poe), all of us need sufficient sleep.

A good night’s sleep can energize you and open up your mind to creative thinking.  When I get good sleep, I feel like there is nothing I can’t accomplish.

Before you get out of bed, providing you did not oversleep, be grateful for waking up to see another day. While lying down, take time to get a good stretch.  Take a deep breath.  Take time to collect your thoughts.  Now get out of the bed.

One of the worst things you can do in my opinion is to jump out of the bed and rush out of the house before you can even think about your day.

Instead of waking up on the wrong side, try waking up on the right side, the choice is yours.
