    The Present Principle is a 7-step model for getting your days off to a better start. Read this article for more on the simple acronym.
    P — PRAY
    (I start my days with a cup of tea in hand, and a quick prayer of guidance, thanks, and direction. if prayer isn’t your thing, then just take a moment to PAUSE. take in life, and breath out your woes)
    R — READ
    (After prayer, my mornings start with reading. A bible, a devotional, and a a bit of motivating reading are my tools of choice.)
    E — EXPRESS
    (Following time in reading and prayer, I express my own thoughts. Use a journal, a post-it, and put pen to paper to share your thoughts and expressions.)
    S — SCHEDULE
    (Check in your day, and scan your week at large. I spend 5-10 minutes doing both in this time.)
    E — EXERCISE
    (Moving is key. Even if it doesn’t happen in the morning, getting in exercise of some sort into your day is essential to be happy, healthy, and grounded.)
    N — NOURISH
    (Do one thing today that truly nourishes you. Take a bath. Read a novel. Play with a baby. Do it for you.)
    T — TRACK
    (How did you do? How many of the seven steps were you able to complete today? Can you do better tomorrow?)
