Rise and Shine! Make the Most of Your Morning With These Daily Practices

morning routine

A morning routine is exactly what everyone needs in order to have a successful day. Your routine could look however you want it to look as well. It could be you waking up three to four hours before you start work and doing everything that you want to do, whether that be going to the gym, doing yoga, stretching, praying to your higher up, or even journaling. It can be you having more time in the morning to listen to your favorite music and having a concert in the shower. Whatever you decide, it’s important for everyone to have a morning routine, no matter who you are or what you deal with. 

Why Your Morning Routine Sets The Tone

It’s important to have some type of routine in place even if it’s a small one. The same way you may partake in a nightly routine to get settled and prepared for bed is the same way you should do in the morning to prepare for the day. When it comes to creating a system for yourself in the morning, you do this in order to take control of how you want your day to go.

A morning routine not only gives you time to yourself, but it also allows you to set intentions and complete tasks you may not be able to do during the day. If you are a parent, waking up an hour or two earlier than your children to prepare yourself for the day can be very helpful. It gives you time to put yourself first without having to feel guilty for doing so. 

A morning routine can increase your energy, your outlook on the day, and your productivity. If you have a good start to your morning, you’ll feel better and perform better when doing tasks.

The Morning Routine You Need For A Great Day

Now, whatever you decide to incorporate into your daily morning practice is fine, but in order to have a great one, there are some key components to keep in mind to help you achieve that.

The first step is to take out the rush and worry. Try easing into your day by stretching when you wake up to get your blood flowing instead of jumping directly out of bed. Allow sunlight in by opening the blinds or curtains.

The next step is hygiene. Getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth, doing a small skincare routine or showering and saying affirmations into the mirror is a great way to set the tone for how you want to feel and how you want the day to go.

Next is eating breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it contributes to the energy you need to help build up the momentum of the brain’s peak time for work, so make sure to eat in the morning.
