What are you eating for breakfast?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

It replenishes the body and gives you the necessary fuel to carry out your daily activities.

It is a breaking of the nightly fast.

You could find a million models of what a breakfast of champions entails.

However, I want to contend that, a breakfast of champions does not only include appropriate foods for the body but also for the mind.

When you break your fast every morning It should include more than bodily nutrition.

 Do not aim to just wake up and energize your body, but also to recharge your mind and your spirit.

Meditate

Build your resolve for the day so that you do not burn out before you get started.

In my reading I have learned that focus takes a lot of energy.

Stressors in life detract us from focus.

Stressor’s break-down our resolve and our will to resist the most basic of temptations.

You know, those things that prevent us from doing what is right and what is best.

Now a slight disclaimer here, “You cannot fully protect yourself against stress in life!”

However, you can prepare yourself to reduce stress, and improve your chances of success.

Harvey MacKay, author, wrote, “To be a champion you have to learn to handle stress and pressure. But if you have prepared mentally and physically, you don’t have to worry.”

No soldier goes into battle unarmored.

So, do not forget to put on your armor.

Become a well-rounded champion, and complement that nutritious breakfast for the body, with one for the mind and soul as well.
