Out here in the French countryside I have a very special alarm clock. Completely natural and extremely persistent. Each day, between six and seven a.m. one of a pair of large black birds pecks on my kitchen window - and caws loudly. This goes on until I get up and stare back, then they flap away to perch on a post in the cowfield next door. One of these days I may get there quick enough to record them! When I first heard them I must admit that I was pretty unnerved, but as soon as I realised that I was in their territory (not the other way round), I soon got used to my call of nature.
How you wake each morning is critical to the ways in which you view the day ahead. Wake tired and bad tempered, and that is the mood which will cling to you for the rest of the day. Taking a few moments to plan - to predict - the day and your reactions to it goes a long way to creating harmony where before you may have seen little or none.
How do you create your waking state? I am interested to know.
Wake well - plan to be happy.
