30 Golden Minutes That May Change Your Life
Dear  , 
John ImageWelcome to Issue 82.  If you did not receive a previous issue, you may use the archive link below to view it now.  The mission of "Marvelous Mondays" is to offer an inspirational thought, a practical exercise, some humor, or a simple tip to jump-start your week and to enhance your life, business, outlook or relationships.
Please feel free to forward "Marvelous Mondays" to others who will enjoy it.
GOLDEN MINUTES
I encourage you to look at Issues 80 and 81, which focus on happy things in your life.  Research by author, Scott Peck, indicates our minds are most susceptible during the 4 - 10 minutes before falling asleep and the 16 - 20 minutes upon awakening (thus the "30 Golden Minutes").  So, we want to express only positive thoughts during those 30 minutes. 
Here are 2 tips on what to do before going to sleep:
  1. Only watch and read things that are pleasant
  2. Only participate in pleasant conversations
You can find your morning tips by going back to Issue 81for the list of things that make you happy to go to work or to just get up in the morning. 
EXERCISE
I invite you to practice your "30 GOLDEN MINUTES"  for the rest of this week.  Please feel free to share your results with someone and of course, you may share the results with me.
