“The trick about a morning routine is that you can be stress-free in no time.”

Are you struggling to stick to a morning routine? Do you find yourself hitting the snooze button over and over again? If so, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Creating and sticking to a morning routine can be challenging, but it’s worth it. This blog post will discuss tricks and tips to help make your morning routine more successful. By following these steps, you’ll be able to start your day off on the right foot and achieve your goals!

How you start your day can have a significant impact on your productivity. If you’re not careful, the morning can be filled with distractions that keep you from reaching your goals. 

Creating a morning routine can be tough, but it’s worth it. 

Sending a positive message to yourself should be the first thing you do in the morning. Simply saying out loud, “Good morning, gorgeous, we’re going to have a wonderful day,” works every time.

Here are some things to consider when creating a morning routine:

Think about what you want to achieve that day. Do you have any goals or tasks that you need to accomplish? Start your day by focusing on these things and making a plan for how you’re going to complete them.

Get organized the night before. It will make it easier for you to get started in the morning and avoid wasting time figuring out what you need to do next. 

Set a time limit for the tasks you need to complete in the morning to avoid getting distracted by other things during your routine.

Review your goals before bed. It will help you start your day with a clear mind and make sure that you’re staying on track.

Make your bed as soon as you wake up. It may seem like a small task, but it can significantly impact your day. It will make your room look neater and give you a sense of accomplishment right away! A messy room can distract and make it harder for you to focus on the tasks at hand.

Eat a healthy breakfast. It will help give you energy and keep your mind sharp throughout the day! 

Get dressed for success – put on something that makes you feel confident so that it becomes easier to tackle complex tasks head-on rather than procrastinating them until later when they seem too overwhelming already (like what I’m doing right now)! 

Have a cup of coffee or tea. It will help wake you up in the morning and get your brain going for the day ahead! 

Take time for meditation, pray, journal about what is on your mind so that it doesn’t become stressful later on down the road. It can also be done while drinking coffee or tea; it’s all about finding what works best for you.

 Reward yourself at the end of each day by doing something that makes you happy, like watching your favorite show, reading a book, playing music, etc… This way, there is always something to look forward to during those stressful times when nothing seems worth working towards anymore because it’s just one day out of many.

Take a few minutes to relax and enjoy your morning routine, rather than stress about everything that needs to be done. It is your time to focus on yourself, so make the most of it!

Tips and tricks for a successful morning routine :

#1. Get up at least 30 minutes before you need to.

Set your alarm clock a night before you go to bed, and make sure you give yourself more time than usual. Don’t leave it until the last minute to get ready so there’s no rush, and you can start the day calmly and peacefully. Extra time will allow you to wake up slowly instead of rushing around, trying not to miss your train or bus! This will enable you to devote a little more time to your day and morning routines.

#2. Forget short naps on your phone or Alexa.

If you’re struggling to get up in the morning, try to avoid snoozing and taking short naps when the alarm goes off. Even five minutes will make it harder for you to get up and be productive later. If you “really need” a break, try to take 10 minutes or 20-minute nap (at lunch) instead – this will help you feel more alert without making you groggy.

#3. Drink a glass of water with lemon.

Drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning will help you stay hydrated, and it’ll help jumpstart your metabolism and hydrate you for the day ahead, and wake up your body. Drinking water in the morning is the best healthy habit that you can adopt to start your day with a zing.

#4. Make your breakfast more interesting

Every morning add fresh fruit or vegetables to your breakfast; this will make you feel full for longer and keep cravings at bay! Every day is a good day to add something new to have a productive morning. Small steps will help improve morning habits that benefit your body and health.

#5. Try not to check your phone first thing in the morning.

Checking your phone first thing in the morning can set a negative tone for the rest of the day, and you may get sucked into emails or other work-related tasks that could distract you from what’s important right now.

#6. Listen to some music while getting ready for the day ahead!

Listening to music in the morning can help focus your mind on the task at hand instead of thinking about all those things that need doing later in life, like going shopping or cleaning up after dinner. When the music plays, you will have more energy to stretch when getting ready.

#7. Spend some time in the morning relaxing and enjoying yourself

Mornings it’s your time to focus on what matters most to you, so make sure it isn’t wasted! 10 minutes of stretching or physical activity will help clear your mind and get you energized and blood flowing before taking on anything else.

If possible, try doing something that makes you happy or smile to start a day off right.

#8. Set realistic goals for yourself.

Don’t try to accomplish too much in the morning – it’s impossible, and you’ll only end up frustrated. Instead, start small and gradually add more tasks as you get used to your routine. This will increase your productivity and help you get into better habits.

When setting up a morning routine, you must set realistic expectations for what you can achieve. Trying to do too much will only set you up for disappointment and frustration.

#9. Get enough sleep.

This one is key – if you’re exhausted, it will be hard to get anything done, let alone wake up early enough for a morning routine! Try going to bed earlier to start waking up on time without feeling tired.

When you get enough sleep, waking up and starting your morning routine is easier.

If you’re having trouble getting enough sleep, try turning off your electronics an hour before bedtime!

Turning off all electronics one hour before bedtime is a great way to help improve sleep quality.

This will help you wind down and relax before going to bed.

#10. Create a morning playlist.

The best way to start a morning is by listening to upbeat songs that will help you wake up and feel energized for a good morning. You know what they say music increases productivity by up to 400%, so make sure you include this in your routine.

    Love the morning routine. It just sets the tone for the day. This year, I am going to include $6. We usually include music towards the end of the day but adding some jazz in the morning sounds fun. Thank you.

    Your number 5 point, the phone, is a pain! You are way more disciplined than me if you follow these steps every day, and I congratulate you! I need to make an effort to organise myself better. Still, never skipping coffee, LOL!

      Thank you. Yes, it is difficult to break the habit of not checking your phone first thing in the morning. With a bit of practice, we can have a happy morning without using a phone, and I’m almost there. I wish the same for you. Thank you for stopping by.

    I totally agree that getting organized the night before has a huge impact on your success the next day. It saves so much time when you do this because you just get up and get going on your routine!
