Same thing happens with our mind. It doesn’t know what seed of thoughts you are sowing in it. Until it becomes a reality whatever you sow you get that plant. Same is the condition. Whatever idea or thought we plant in our mind in the beginning of the day it governs the level of productivity we are going to produce as an outcome.
However ,The first thought or emotions with which we start our day the whole day or the outcomes of the day depends on that. Including and practicing positive affirmation right after waking up in the morning has the potential to decide in which direction your day will go.
