Maybe you’re feeling angry or groggy, and that negative energy carries through to the rest of your day. But what if you could choose how you rise each morning? What if you could start your day with a sense of joy and positivity?

Joy is a great alarm clock.

It can help you start your day off on the right foot. With its gentle wake-up sounds and customizable settings, Joy can help you wake up feeling refreshed and energized every morning.

But it’s not just about the mechanics of the alarm clock. It’s about what it represents: the power of intention.

How are you choosing to rise for your day?

The K.I.S.S. ~ Choose your attitude wisely!

Because your attitude impacts absolutely EVERYTHING!!

Our daughter had her white coat ceremony this past weekend. What a celebration! The family was all in town, including our grandson.

On Sunday, we decided to go to the town square for the annual fair. When we returned home after about 3 hours, he was ready for a nap. So down he went. 3 hours later, he woke up. Mom when to go get him, and all I could hear was his fussing.

How could he be so fussy after having such a great nap? So, of course, Grandma went up there to check on all the commotion.

Mom spelled to me how he got up on the wrong side of the bed. No matter what she said, he was crabby.

After our incognito spelling bee, I asked him how if he slept well. And he proudly responded with a smile, “Yes, slept well.”

From that point on, it was a changed little boy. He was happy and ready to go do anything and everything with a smile.

Now, you and I both know he was challenging his mom. But Grandma comes into the picture, and life isn’t so bad. So he chose to be happy instead of crabby.

Joy is a great alarm clock.

When you choose to wake up with Joy, you’re making a conscious decision to start your day with joy. Just because you “feel” crabby and that’s grabbing your attention the most, so you can get the attention; it doesn’t mean you ARE crabby. All it means is that it’s screaming the loudest so you don’t have to work at how you want to “feel”.

When you rise, you set the tone for the rest of your day. Put yourself in a mindset that is open to positivity and possibility. That in itself can have a huge impact on how you interact with the world and how you impact the world you touch.

Think about it: if you wake up feeling grumpy and negative, you’re more likely to snap at your coworkers or family members, to rush through your tasks without really engaging with them, and to make decisions that might not be in your best interest.

But if you wake up feeling joyful and centered, you’re more likely to greet the people around you with kindness and compassion, to approach your work with focus and creativity, and to make choices that align with your values.

And remember, joy is not dependent on your circumstances, situations, or season of life. Joy does not come from what is thrown at you. Joy comes from whose you are.

Choosing to wake up with Joy and in joy is more than just choosing a specific alarm clock. It’s choosing to take control of your day, to set your intentions, and to create a positive ripple effect that can touch everyone around you.

So the question is, how will you choose to rise?

When you choose joy, you can wake up to a world of possibility, potential, and progress. Take that first step towards living your life on purpose for your greater calling.
