6-Morning Rituals You Can Implement Right Now

    6 Morning Rituals You Can Implement Now

    The alarm is set for 6 AM, and it goes off with a loud beeping sound that rips you out of your sleep. Confused and a little delirious, you hit the snooze button. “5 more minutes,” you think. 5 minutes later, the alarm goes off again. Grabbing your phone, you check your emails, and fear sets in that your workload for the day is already piling up. You have to hit the ground running; otherwise, you will be late for work.

    Forget the shower you planned on taking, you jump into any clothes you can find hoping they match. At least you have time to grab a coffee from your pre-programmed coffee maker, even if you don’t have time for breakfast.

    Is that what your morning looks like? If so, then it’s time to change your morning rituals so you can start your day feeling energized and focused instead of stressed out. I am sharing my 6-morning rituals you can implement right now with you.

    If you win your morning, you win your day, have you heard that before?

    I am a firm believer in that, and I have my own morning rituals that help me get started, and help me have peace of mind. My rituals start the night before, and I have a clear plan in mind of how my day should flow.

    Start your morning ritual the night before by:

    • Eating a balanced meal with slow-digesting carbs, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Slow-digesting carbs include vegetables, beans, quinoa, brown rice, nuts, and seeds
    • Unwinding after work by taking a hot bath or shower
    • Choosing your clothes for the next day so they’re ready to go
    • Preparing your breakfast ahead of time (try making overnight oats)

    • Sit up and stop hitting the snooze button (ground your feet to feel fully aware)
    • Take 10 deep breaths before checking your phone
    • Make your bed (this gives me a sense of starting my day)
    • Meditate for 10 minutes (try an app called Headspace to guide you)
    • Do some light stretching to boost your energy
    • Mindfully drink your coffee or tea and relax into the moment

    Something needs to change if your days don’t include any of these rituals.

    Try implementing one of these rituals to begin, then slowly add more. You’ll thank yourself later.
