And the earth was without form, and void; and I caused darkness to come up upon the face of the deep; and my Spirit moved upon the face of the water; for I am God. And I, God, said: Let there be light; and there was light. And I, God, saw the light; and that light was good. Moses 2: 2-4
Monday mornings always feel hopeful to me ..a new week, a new start, fresh perspective. My feelings seem to war between fresh motivation to push forward and weariness with the length of my to-do list..written and mental.
My morning routine has undergone some transformation over the years but the components tend to remain the same.
- prayer–on my knees, out loud prayer
- scripture study–Come Follow Me, General Conference talks, Book of Mormon
- meditation–learning this and don’t always get it done
- exercise–right now going to gym three days a week or walking the dog
- journaling–this has become increasingly important over the years
