Let’s be honest, starting your day off on the right foot can have a great impact on the rest of your day. A good morning routine can set the tone for the rest of your day and ultimately improve your productivity, focus, and your overall well-being for the day.
First, let’s talk about why a good morning routine is so important. When you start your day with intention, you are likely to feel more energized and motivated throughout the day. Creating a consistent morning routine can then also help reduce your stress and anxiety as it could provide structure to your day.
Now that we understand the importance of a good morning routine let’s look at tips on how to create this for yourself!
Start small!
Creating a morning routine can be overwhelming, especially if you’re not a morning person.
Start small and focus on one or two things that you can do every day. This could be as simple as drinking a glass of water when you wake up or spending five minutes meditating in the morning sun. As you get comfortable with your routine, you can gradually add more little things.

Prioritise things that make you happy
Your morning routine should be enjoyable and leave you feeling energised.
Find activities that you genuinely enjoy and prioritise them in your routine. This could be reading a book or listening to a podcast, practicing yoga, or going for a walk. When you do things that make you happy, you’re more likely to stick to your routine long-term.

It’s all about prep
Mornings can be hectic as is, fitting in a morning routine can be challenging but shouldn’t add more stress to your day.
Prepare the night before to make your mornings run slightly smoother, even if it is just slightly. Lay out your clothes or prep breakfast or lunch. By doing these things the night before, you’ll have more time and energy to focus on your morning routine.
