How to Create a Morning Ritual

Consider your lifestyle and priorities.

You need to find a morning routine that works best for you and cohesively with your current lifestyle.

Morning routines are not a one-size-fits-all thing. Yes, you can find inspiration from other people’s routines, but that doesn’t mean what they do will work for you.

Some things to consider would be:

How much time do you have in the morning?
Can you wake up earlier to dedicate more time, or is there a set amount of time you have?
What are the priorities that you must do in the morning?
What does your ideal routine make you feel like afterward?
What areas do you want to focus on in the morning?

Evaluate your current habits.

You already have morning habits that you do without even thinking about them.

Before you create a new morning routine, take time to review what you currently do and evaluate whether you’d like to keep or lose them.

You want to keep the habits that positively serve you and help you start the day on the right foot.

Make a note of the habits that make you feel good and that you’d like to retain.

Prioritize what’s important to you.

Now, consider what areas you’d like to focus on and make time for at the start of the day.

For example, is it vital that you make time for stretching (or moving your body) every morning because your physical health is important to you?

Are there any hobbies or activities that you want to do in the morning?

Think about what activity or habit will elevate how you show up in the day.

Test, test, test!

Creating the perfect morning routine will take some time and testing.

Weed out what works and doesn’t work for you by being mindful of how each habit makes you feel.

You want to feel good in the morning! Your mornings are when you get to be selfish and take care of yourself.

So, fill it with things that elevate your energy and spirit.

Don’t feel pressured to force any specific habits into your routine.

Remember, morning routines are personalized, and what works for one person may not work for another.

Eventually, you’ll find a system of habits that work best to energize you in the morning and sets you up for a great day!
