Morning is a period of reflection, reading and viewing uplifting information, planning and posting on here for me. Saw this Youtube video:
. In it, she speaks about Benjamin Franklin's 13 virtues. I really admire Benjamin Franklin, he accomplished so many good things in his life. His 13 virtues are worthy goals; they are: temperance, silence, order, resolution, frugality, industry, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, tranquility, chastity and humility. I her idea (which comes from Franklin) of focusing on three resolutions (and mine all come back to one of the thirteen virtues) and then reflecting on whether or not I accomplished it at the end of the day. I already focus on what I want to accomplish during the day in the morning but tying those goals to a virtue is a good way to think about it. Looking back on my day at the end of the day to think about my accomplishments/if I was virtuous is not a daily habit but I will try it. I currently read every evening before I go to bed but I can also look at my daily calendar/planner (will write at least one resolution it for the day) and evaluate if I kept it. I also find the short Derek Prince videos very uplifting. This one ties in with having daily goals (like saying only encouraging things to others, not snacking between meals, etc.):
