Here's a way to start your day whether for work or play, before you rise and open your eyes (or any time to make you wise!)

 Before you open your eyes after sleeping at night (or whatever your routine is if a night owl or sleeping during the day to work at night...)

Place your hand on your heart center, and say in your mind "The divine creates and fulfills a new day for me" 4x, slowly and with intent. If you prefer, you can fill in 'a loving, caring force' for divine or some suggest using whatever tradition you have of mother or/and father spirit, guides and such.
