Why your morning routine matters

Morning routines can determine the course of your day. Research shows that a consistent morning routine can reduce stress, give you a boost of energy, and make you a lot more productive.

Ask yourself these questions:
❓Do I have a routine?
❓Do I follow it consistently?
❓Does it energize me or bring me down?

Here are some examples of morning habits of highly successful people:

✅ Stick to a consistent wake-up time
✅ Make your bed
✅ Hydrate before your reach for coffee
✅ Eat a healthy breakfast
✅ Move your body - a 5-minute stretch, exercise, or dance
✅ Do planning the night before to eliminate decision-making tasks in the morning
✅ Start with your most important task for the day
✅ Allocate 5 minutes for self-reflection and mindfulness (gratitude, affirmations, meditation, etc)

Try to avoid doing this:

❌Dive straight into emails or social media
❌Overdo it on caffeine without hydrating
❌Skip breakfast or opt for sugary, processed foods
❌Rush through your morning without taking a moment to breathe

With these simple adjustments, you’ll kickstart your day on the right foot and set yourself up for success! 🌟
