How to Create a Successful Morning Routine to Start Your Day Off Right

If you’ve ever worked with me, you’ve probably picked up on the fact that I’m a morning person. Whether it’s the years of being an equestrian and those 5 am wake up calls, or just my love for coffee but I am usually fairly eager to get my day started.

One thing that helps me start my day off right is my morning routine. There is just something about the peace and quiet of the early morning hours that sets the tone for the rest of the day.

Hopefully with these tips you’ll have some tools to create a morning routine that works for you, so you can start your day off feeling energized and ready to tackle whatever comes your way.

1. Get up at the same time every day. Consistency is key when it comes to creating a successful morning routine. Try to wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends, to establish a regular sleep schedule. This will help you feel more rested and alert throughout the day. It will also help you build a routine.
2. Make your bed as soon as you get up. This simple task may seem insignificant, but it can actually set the tone for the rest of your day. Making your bed first thing in the morning helps you start the day with a sense of accomplishment and can give you a boost of motivation to tackle other tasks.
3. Exercise or stretch. Incorporating physical activity into your morning routine can help you feel energized and ready to take on the day. Whether it’s a quick yoga flow, a run around the block, or some simple stretching, make time for movement in the morning to get your blood pumping.
4. Eat a healthy breakfast or drink a glass of water. Fueling your body with nourishing food is essential for a successful morning, Try to include a mix of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs in your breakfast to give you sustained energy throughout the day, but if you’re like me and not a morning person try to drink at least one glass of water before you start your day.
5. Plan out your day. Take a few minutes in the morning to review your schedule and make a plan for the day. This can help you prioritize your tasks and ensure that you stay on track.
6. Take a few minutes for mindfulness. Whether it’s meditating, journaling, or simply taking some deep breaths, incorporating some form of mindfulness into your morning routine can help you start the day with a clear mind and a sense of calm. This is also a helpful skill to have in order to make sure you’re incorporating mindfulness as part of your routine throughout the day as well.

By following these tips, you can create a successful morning routine that helps you start your day off right. Remember, it’s all about finding what works for you and making it a consistent part of your daily routine. Happy mornings!
