Consider a different relationship to wake-up calls than alerting you to potential difficulty. It’s possible to manifest wake-up calls that are inspiring and energy-giving.
Give yourself ten minutes with a kitchen timer. Come up with at least 20 different opportunities that you have in your life to move forward and evolve.
The use of the timer in conjunction with the target number of opportunities creates the feeling of “wake-up,” and the subject matter is enlivening and useful. “Waking up” to what you can have happen in your life is a kind of “self-induced” alert or focus.
What opportunities exist in your life to dramatically grow and evolve? What kind of regular practice can you create to connect with these opportunities? How do you like using exercises like this to expand your feeling of “waking up”?
