The way you greet the morning sets the tone for everything that follows. Here are some key elements to craft your ideal morning ritual.
What gets you excited to rise and shine? Define your personal reasons to prioritise activities that bring meaning (workout, quiet time with a cuppa?).
Set a consistent wake-up time for restorative sleep and a natural energy boost in the morning.
Sunlight is a powerful natural mood regulator. Expose yourself to natural light first thing in the morning. This helps to synchronise your circadian rhythm for better sleep and a positive outlook.
Planning and prepping the night before can significantly reduce decision fatigue and stress in the morning. Lay out your clothes, pack your lunch, or prep breakfast ingredients.
Building a new routine can be challenging at first. Persist through the initial discomfort, as consistency is key to forming lasting habits.
