Try some or try all, but I bet even trying a couple will make for a better day. Going against the grain and all those tedious studies, hit the Snooze button--but just one time. Then you get 10 more minutes to clear the fog and prepare yourself mentally for the day ahead. Hitting Snooze just once gives you a sense of control over your day--this may be your last chance, so take it! When setting your alarm the night before, allow time for a minute snooze--if you don't take it, that's 10 extra minutes for a less-rushed morning.

Studies have shown that waking to bright colors--comforter, walls, curtains--can actually increase your mental agility, increase confidence, and just plain make you happier. Want to be happier when you wake each morning? Try greens and yellows. For a calming feel, try blues. Wake up to reds and violets for more energy. And, lastly, sitting in a bright, light-filled room think sun streaming in while you're sipping your morning coffee can leave you with a happy, ready-to-face-the-day glow.

I need to be centered before doing any tarot work so a little quiet time gets my brain in order. The next thing I do is tackle my social media. A card is pulled and then I write the posts in a stream of consciousness and paste them on my various online spots.
