Are you always on the lookout for ways to access more of your intuitive guidance and creative genius?

Are you intentional about your day, into producing your best work, and love extraordinary results?

Do you love brainstorming ideas but know that staying in our conscious mind to do it is limiting?

Are you not a fan of getting out of bed as soon as the alarm goes off, find snooze buttons annoying, and sometimes crave that floaty in-between worlds feeling of being half asleep and half awake?

Me too. So I created this Morning Ritual so I could sleep in a little every morning and have AHAs starting my day.

 

HOW TO SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS IN YOUR SLEEP:

1. Set 2 alarm times:

·       One for an hour before you want to get up (or however long you want your ‘sleep in’ to be) and

·       One for when you want to get up 

2. When the first alarm goes off, bring yourself awake enough to think of something you’re working on or need to figure out — and would love the help of your intuitive genius. Or you can think of what you want to ask the night before.

Remember in my last article about Getting Your Self Talk Game on Strong and asking yourself an ‘I wonder…’ question? 

Your in-between worlds time in the morning when you’re waking up is another kick ass time to ask yourself an ‘I wonder’ question! This is because your brainwave activity is already primed for it. You’re coming out of the lucidy creative-day-dreamy Alpha state — and Theta: the deeper intuitive, meditative, REM state.

By the way, Flow States happen in low Alpha-high Theta and they’re the gateway to your AHA-Epiphany Zone (Gamma brain waves). Delta is deep dreamless sleep and Beta is normal waking consciousness.

Sooo…to make an ‘I wonder’ question for your morning altered state of consciousness, fill in the blank with a what, how, who, or when — for whatever you’re working on.

“I wonder_________?

 Some ideas you might consider:

· the best way to optimize your day, your week, your resources, etc.

· the most important purposeful action you can do today or this week, that will make the biggest difference to accomplishing what you’re working on

· the best way to break down big goals or projects into doable parts

· the best way to communicate something to someone you need to have an important conversation with

As soon as you’ve got your question, you can drift back off into that yummy floaty creative dreamy space — and notice what pops up. My clients love this because they get insights they would never get any other way and live more in Flow Consciousness — the realm of infinite possibilities. Plus they feel like they’re getting an extra hour sleep!

So take this for a spin….I’d love to know how it works for you! Let me know :)
