If someone was to ask me what the most important time of the day would be, I would say the morning. The morning is a reflection of how your day is going to be. The same way a bad morning would be reflected in your day is the same way a good morning would and who wants to have a bad start to their day? Each person is different and so are their needs,  but I hope this article helps you to build a morning routine that leaves you ready for the day’s challenges.

The base to any good morning routine is your body’s health. This includes the physical and mental aspects of your body. I find that working out in the morning prepares me for the day. A good cardio or even yoga session leaves me with mental clarity and wakes you up in the best possible way. Research shows that morning exercise can lead to improved focus and increases productivity. Exercise in the morning is also less prone to schedule interruptions, making it easier to maintain a consistent workout routine. Plus exercising  before breakfast can also help you burn more body fat for fuel. After working out, the next step is to focus on your skincare. I take this time to have a hot shower, followed by a skincare routine. I take my time getting ready as I’ve come to notice that if I think I look good then I automatically feel good. Building a good morning routine would all be nothing if you’re not eating, so making sure you have a hearty breakfast is an underrated aspect that many people seem to skip. Your body needs energy to be able to fuel itself for the day.

So the best first steps to any successful morning routine is caring for your body, but what about your mind? I find that sitting down for at least five minutes a day to write out a to-do-list enables me to mentally prepare for everything that I have planned for the day. It allows to me to process my plans and ensures I won’t be overwhelmed. I also like to spend this time thinking about the things I’m grateful for. This puts me in a positive mindset for the day.

So, to recap, the best way to make a good morning routine is to focus on your health and mind above anything else. I hope this article helps you build a routine that helps you to become the best version of yourself.
