How To Have An Inspiring Online Experience Every Day

Kumar Gauraw

The challenge of having a productive and inspiring online experience is a big one. Especially, when your computer is connected to the internet,  it seems distractions are just waiting to happen.

Disconnecting the internet, checking emails only once a day etc. are not the things some of us can accept as a good solution. In fact, to me and to many entrepreneurs with online businesses, such recommendations are counterproductive.

I have been doing a lot of trial and error to find a better solution.  The main challenge has always been:

  1. How do I start my online experience on a positive note?
  2. How can I turn my time on the internet into subconscious motivation?
  3. How do I ensure that my online time is used wisely?

What Begins Well, Ends Well

Thanks to an awesome personal development coach, Sid Savara who recommended this method on his website. I picked up the idea from him, tried it for a while and I must tell you, it worked like magic!

This technique works on the principle of programming our subconscious mind using the methods of positive affirmations and the power of visualization. No wonder it works!

To begin with, I had to realize that my online experience begins each day me firing up my Firefox web browser each morning. When it starts, what do we generally look at first? Here are a few examples of the start pages for some of us:

  1. News Websites
  2. Facebook
  3. Twitter
  4. Email Accounts
  5. A tabbed view of previously browsed websites

Most of these start pages are actually threats to a positive mental attitude to begin with. For example, news and emails can easily spoil our mornings and usually they do.

The goal is to begin the day in a way that I can feel empowered. I deserve to feel charged up so that I can go out and make the most out of this day. So, I created my own start pages for my browsers.

Now, as soon as I start my web browser, my home page is a custom page with a few things that will help me live the day positively.

My Browser Start Pages (Home Pages) For An Inspiring Online Experience

I created many versions and based on what is going to be my focus for the next day or the next week, I choose one of these pages and make them the start page for my browsers.

I think this is a powerful way to program our minds to focus on the things that are important. I even use this technique to avoid online distractions and it works!

Initially, I did not think I was going to make it available on my website and therefore, it was just stored on my local machine. However, now that I’ve decided to share these with you, I am working to make it available for public use.

This list is going to grow in time, so I encourage you to bookmark this page if these start pages are of interest to you. I will keep adding new start pages here as I get them ready for you.

So, here you go (These links will open these pages in a new window when you click):

  1. Start Page for the Attitude of Gratitude

  2. Start Page for Focus and Perseverance

  3. Start Page for Daily Love And Compassion

  4. Start Page for Daily Reminder On Value Of Time

These are simple pages with a Google Search box included to help search the web  without a need to start another window.   I enjoy watching these pages, reading them over and over and I hope you will love them too.

If you like these pages, you also can configure them to be the start page for your online experience.
