The morning is a potent time to set the tone for the day ahead. While I don’t indulge in lengthy morning rituals lasting hours, the practices I do follow significantly impact my productivity, mood, and overall well-being.
When I stick to my morning routine, I find myself happier, more focused, and ready to conquer the day’s challenges.
Here’s a glimpse into my “perfect” morning routine, which I strive to follow about 60% of the time.
1. Start with a Bop: As unconventional as it sounds, my day kicks off with a lively alarm song that gets me grooving out of bed. A quick 10-second dance session instantly dispels any lingering sleepiness and sets a positive tone for the day ahead.
2. Morning Stroll by the Water: Inspired by the therapeutic benefits of natural sunlight, I make it a point to take a morning walk with my furry companion by the water. Disconnecting from technology and immersing myself in nature’s embrace not only invigorates my body but also clears my mind for the day ahead.
3. Journaling: A pivotal part of my morning routine is journaling, which I find both grounding and enlightening. I rely on the Five Minute Journal for its simplicity and guided prompts, making it easy to capture my thoughts and reflections in just a few minutes. This brief exercise often leads to deeper introspection and sets a positive mindset for the day.
4. Nutritious Breakfast: Fuelling my body with a wholesome breakfast is non-negotiable. I opt for nutrient-rich options like eggs, vegetables, whole-grain toast, and hummus—a combination that provides sustained energy and keeps me fuelled until lunchtime.
5. Refreshing Shower: A refreshing shower not only wakes me up but also serves as a transition from my morning routine to the start of my workday. It’s a simple yet effective way to invigorate my senses and prepare for the tasks ahead.
6. Fun Interlude: Before diving into work, I indulge in a brief activity that brings me joy—a hobby, a quick read, or catching up on the latest news. This short interlude allows me to ease into my workday with a refreshed perspective and positive mindset.
And no morning would be complete without two essential components from Full & Filled—two glasses that epitomise my morning hydration ritual: a generous serving of water and a refreshing iced coffee. Each sip from my Full & Filled glass serves as a reminder to stay hydrated and energised throughout the day.
Incorporating these simple yet impactful practices into my morning routine sets the stage for a successful and fulfilling day ahead.
