If the sound of your alarm in the mornings is worse to you than nails on a chalkboard, and if the thought of sunbeams through your window is cringe- inducing, I’m here to help!

Just because you’re busy doesn’t mean you can’t create a morning routine. In fact, a good morning routine will make you more productive during the day!

Here are my top tips for creating a morning routine for success!

  1. Exercise or stretch. If you are an outdoors person, you could jog or take a walk for 10-20 minutes

  2. If you are an indoors person, you could do 5 minutes of yoga, stretch your body or do a few sets of push ups.

  3. Say “I love you” to yourself in the mirror. Just say it.

  4. Start your morning the night before with preparation

  5. Allow natural light to come in through the windows, turn on the lights!

  6. Change your alarm to a pleasant song or sound

  7. Stop hitting the snooze button, it makes you sleepier

  8. Drink something warm when you first wake up to cleanse

  9. Brush your teeth straight away to feel clean and awake

How you start your morning has a huge impact on the rest of the day and sets the tone for how your morning will progress. If you start it off sleepy and struggling to get out of bed, then there is a high chance the rest of your day will be a struggle.

Try and work out a good morning routine for yourself that puts you in a good mood and makes you feel good! Not only will your personal life be easier and happier, so will your working life too.
