Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and I hear all the time that how you wake up matters.  Do you snooze the alarm a bunch of times?  Do you jump out of bed? Do you have a gratitude ritual in the morning?  Are you sad and defeated to start your day?  Or are you excited and ready for what your day will unfold?  Do you have a morning routine that you enjoy?  

All these things are habits in how we start our day.  I think sometimes we don’t even realize it.  It just is.  You know? 

I invite you to start your day with a gratitude frenzy to boost your mood, get you going and help you to show up as the best version of yourself.   

A gratitude frenzy can be anything you want it to be.  My friend Jenna always says, there are a million ways to do something, pick what works for you.  So an example might be to start with gratitude for legs that carry you from your bed.  The smell of the minty toothpaste that you get to buy, any type you want.  Maybe you are grateful for a good night’s sleep.  

And, if you want to get more advanced, it can be gratitude or appreciation for your partner, even going more meta and something you really like about your partner or how that person treats you.  It can be gratitude for the day you are about to have.  How you envision it unfolding.   

This can all happen while you get out of bed, find your slippers, brush your teeth, these can be the running intentional thoughts that start your day.  

Give it a try, I hope it’s as impactful for you as it is for me.   

Until next time.
