As the saying goes: “A year’s plan starts in spring; a day’s plan starts in the morning.”
Many people overlook this wisdom and often do things early in the morning that they shouldn’t, which may lead to bad luck for the entire day—or even the whole year.
So what morning behaviors are considered especially unlucky or ominous?
Let’s explore this from the perspective of traditional customs and metaphysics:
1. ❌ Looking at Screens Immediately
Don’t reach for your phone or laptop the moment you wake up. Screens bombard your mind with notifications, stress, and information overload. Instead, pause, breathe, and let your mind wake up gently.
2. 🚫 Empty Containers or Dirty Utensils
Seeing an empty cup or sinkload of dishes first thing could set a tone of lack or imbalance. These visuals subtly communicate emptiness. Rather than waking up to chaos, keep surfaces clean or wash the night before.
3. 🍂 Morning Clutter
Disorder—such as scattered clothes, papers, or clutter—blocks energy flow and can trigger anxiety. By tidying up (even just five minutes) before sleep or right after rising, you invite clarity and calm into your space.
4. 😠 Negative People or Emotional Conflict
If someone near you starts the day harshly—during grief or stress—their energy may disrupt yours. Therefore, avoid early emotional friction or choose solitude until harmony returns.
5. 📰 Bad News or Negative Stories
Reading upsetting headlines or hearing gloom first thing can drain your mood quickly. Instead, opt for positive or neutral content to gently elevate your morning mindset.
6. 🖼️ Photos of Deceased Ancestors
While honoring ancestors at the appropriate time is meaningful, seeing their images right after waking can trigger nostalgia or sadness. Delay meaningful reflections until after your morning ritual.
7. 🐾 Images of Fighting or Injured Animals
Arguing or wounded creatures—whether real or pictured—carry stressful energy. These visuals may subconsciously invite discomfort. Rather than wake up to chaos, prefer uplifting, serene imagery.
💡 What to See Instead: Sunrise Ritual Tips
Fresh Light: Open curtains and welcome natural sunlight—yang energy that invigorates body and mind
Tidy Space: Make your bed, clear surfaces, and keep decor minimal. This encourages calm energy flow
Pleasant Sound: Play soft, uplifting music to enhance mood and invite positive energy
Ritual Clearing: Consider light smudging (sage, palo santo, incense) near doorways to reset your energy field
