Just something to think about,, NA hugs and Love, JJ
Most of us would do much to wake up feeling happy and ready to take on the world.These are just some of the things you can do to start your day right and bright…
1. Turn on the music
Some experts think that music boosts brainpower simply because it makes listeners feel better, both relaxed and stimulated at the same time, and that a comparable stimulus might do just as well. Apparently, music helps bring on a more positive state of mind, helping to keep depression and anxiety at bay as well. And morning is a good time to start positive, before the day can get you down.

2. Meditate, in many ways
It’s not just for the spiritually inclined. Meditating for just a few minutes, especially in the morning, right after you get up, can help clear the mind.Our minds are in a constant state of thinking and, contrary to what most people think, it is most aggravated when we wake up. Which is why it’s no coincidence that heart attack rates are at their highest in the morning, just after waking.
