Morning Routines That Set You Up For Success

WHY A MORNING ROUTINE MATTERS

Supports better mental and physical health.

Helps reduce stress and decision fatigue.

Boosts focus, productivity, and energy.

Hydrate First Thing: After 6-8 hours of sleep your body is dehydrated. Drinking water right away jumpstarts your metabolism and brain function.

Movement: Instead of reaching for coffee first, get your blood flowing with 5 minutes of stretching, walking, or even a few jumping jacks.

Set An Intention: Before diving into emails or social media, take 2 minutes to set a positive intention or plan your top priorities for the day.

Hydrate: Drink a glass of water with lemon or electrolytes.

Move: Do 5-10 minutes of dynamic stretching, yoga, or a quick bodyweight workout.

Fuel: Have a light, protein-packed breakfast or smoothie.

Hydrate: Start with a warm cup of lemon water or herbal tea.

Journal: Write down 3 priorities for the day.

Affirm: Say a personal mantra or intention for the day out loud.

Move: Take a 5-minute mindful walk or stretch.

Hydrate: Sip warm water or herbal tea slowly.

Breathe: Do 3-5 minutes of deep belly breathing or meditation.

Gentle Movement: Stretch or do light yoga to wake up your body.

Gratitude: Reflect on or write down one thing you’re grateful for.
