How motivated are you to begin your day and how grateful are you to have opened your eyes?

• How does your body feel when you arise? Do you feel light and flexible, or heavy and stiff in your muscles/joints? Do you have any pain at any time of the day? If you do, when and where do you feel this pain? Try to create awareness of what situations both internally or externally enhance the pain sensation.
