HOW TO CREATE A SUCCESSFUL MORNING ROUTINE
They say the secret to a productive day is organizing your mornings . And there's no denying that we've all tried to be that kind of person at some point. That person who wakes up easily, with a fully charged battery, an exceptional mood, and a champion attitude.
But sometimes, the " SNOOZE " button ⏰😴 becomes irresistible, completely changing our plans to start a productive day on the right foot.
While we've all been there, it doesn't have to be! Read on for practical tips for a productive morning and day 📖📍🖋️
Your perfect morning is different from my perfect morning… ☀️✨
That's right! So start with an open mind 🧠 and keep in mind that it may take a little experimentation before you find what works best for your lifestyle. 🤷🏻♀️
Start by imagining how you'd like to feel in the morning. 🛌🏼 Close your eyes for a moment, take a few deep breaths, and try to imagine what your ideal morning feels like . Do you experience calm, relaxation, joy, energy, introspection…?
🧘🏻♀️ This simple exercise can help you decide what to include in your routine or not. If you're having trouble imagining it, ask yourself what bothers you about your mornings right now. 🤔
1️⃣ Do you feel rushed and under pressure?
2️⃣ Does your body feel sluggish or heavy?
3️⃣ Don't you like getting up straight to work?
4️⃣ Don't you take enough time for breakfast?
Keep all of these aspects in mind as you build your ideal routine.
👉🏻 Be careful, positive life changes can also cause stress, and that's normal! Both traumatic events and positive changes trigger similar stress reactions in your body and mind 🧠😪 Even during an exciting and positive life change, it's normal for your mind to be filled with questions about the future... that's how anxiety works 🤫
🌙 A morning routine starts with a good nighttime routine. And you know it! 😬
Preparing for a successful morning doesn't start when your alarm goes off. It starts at night 🌃 , before your head hits the pillow. Consider adopting nighttime habits that will help your mornings flow more smoothly. Here are some ideas: 👇🏻
- Choose your clothes for the next day. 👚👟 Decisions are difficult when you're sleepy, so save yourself time and energy by choosing your clothes the night before, including accessories and shoes. You'll thank yourself! 😉
- Put your phone away at a predetermined time. 📵 Choose a time to relax your body and mind. Once the time arrives, place your phone somewhere out of reach of your bed so you're not tempted to check it before bed.
- Prepare your breakfast. 🍞🥓☕ Whether it's a smoothie on the go or a homemade sandwich, prepare your first meal ahead of time so you have one less thing to worry about when you wake up.
- Add CBD and Melatonin Sleep Gummies 😴💤 to your nighttime routine to help your body get better sleep, resulting in more restful mornings.
- Long, high-quality sleep won't happen unless you make it happen . ⏱️😴 Try to go to bed around the same time every night, and wind down enough at night to allow for at least 7 hours of sleep . ⏰
What's the best morning routine to stay productive? 🤔
Productivity isn't something elusive and magical that happens randomly; it's a mindset , and it's one you can intentionally create for yourself. As soon as you wake up in the morning, it's essential to set a tone that will lead you directly into a productive mindset for the rest of the day. So, what morning habits are important for all-day success? 🧐
👉🏼 For starters, don't pick up your phone right away . 📵 Too often, we go straight to our social media feeds, and our brains start to get overwhelmed and exhausted before our feet even hit the ground. 😔
Instead, start your day ☀️ with a few small milestones before checking your devices. Small milestones can include: making your bed, getting dressed, brushing your teeth, eating breakfast, drinking your first glass of water, watering your plants, or reading a few pages of your book.
🌱 They may seem insignificant, but those small accomplishments can actually boost your confidence. By the time it's time to start work or tackle your to-do list, you'll already be in a "can do" mindset. 💪🏻 That momentum can take you a long way toward accomplishing everything you need to for the rest of the day. 😎
How can I start a healthy morning routine?
👉🏼 Preparing for productivity is great, but don't forget to prioritize your health too. A healthy morning leads to a healthy day, and healthy days lead to a healthier life overall! 🌱
🌱 Here are some things you can try to prioritize your health in the morning:
- Establish a good morning stretching routine or a simple exercise regimen. 🏋️ Gentle movement and stretching in the morning can increase blood flow, lift your mood, and give you that overall awake feeling (no more zombie mode until lunch!) . 🤣 Don't pressure yourself to do a full workout either. Even five 5️⃣⏰ minutes of gentle stretching or a quick yoga session can make a difference. Find free stretching tutorials, yoga videos, or even movement-based meditations on YouTube📹, and give it a try! 👀😉
- Support your nervous and immune systems. 🌿 Make sure your body is ready for whatever the day may bring with our CBD products that can help counteract the effects of stress and anxiety throughout the day. ☀️
- Eat breakfast. 🥓☕🍞 Morning coffee is great, but it's not a meal! Don't wait until lunch to enjoy your first meal of the day. Give your body the fuel it needs right from the start with a balanced breakfast within the first hour of waking up (psst, it's okay to make your breakfast the night before to save time!). 👀
- Write it down! 📚 Writing down your goals can increase your chances of achieving them (and yes, there's scientific evidence to back it up!). 😉 Jotting down your routine activities can also give you a clear picture of what's working and what's not. Whether it's in a planner or notebook or just a piece of paper stuck to the refrigerator, some kind of written record can be beneficial in more ways than one. 😄
Boost your morning routine for success. 🏆 Your mornings don't have to be a whirlwind. 🌪️ With the right approach and a gradual change of habits, you'll be making the most of your mornings in no time ! Now go ahead and put it into practice— you can do it! 💪🏻
