In today’s fast pace, success is achieved only by those people who start their day properly. Morning time not only forms the basis of our energy, but also decides in which direction our whole day will go. Many great personalities – whether they are entrepreneurs, scientists or leaders – all have accepted the strength of a strong and permanent morning routine. This article will tell how you can make your own effective morning routine and how you can stay in it continuously.
1. Get used to getting up early in the morning
A successful day begins with a successful morning, and its first step is to wake up on time. According to scientific researches and mental health experts, the time between 5 and 6 am is considered “Golden Hour”. At this time the atmosphere is calm, the mind concentrates and the body is full of energy.
How to start:
Initially try to get up 15-15 minutes before every day.
Stop using mobile before bedtime.
Choose a cool alarm that raise you with peace, not with a shock.
2. Do mental cleaning with meditation and pranayama
Soon after waking up 10 to 15 minutes meditation or pranayama provides mental clarity and stability in the mind. It accelerates your thinking and helps reduce daylight stress.
Benefits:
Stress decreases
Self -confidence and decision ability increases
The brain becomes calm and creative
3. Give time to physical exercise
The synergy of body and mind is the key to success. Yoga, stretching, jogging or gym – whatever, at least 20 to 30 minutes of physical activity in the morning increases blood flow in your body and transmits energy.
Take care:
Keep the start slow
Choose the exercise you like
If the time is short, 7 minutes of workout is also sufficient
4. Make a two-do list or decide the priorities of the day
When the brain is most clear in the morning, you can make the best plan of the day. List your essential works in a diary or mobile app. This will not only keep your day organized, but will also increase your productivity.
Some suggestions to decide priority:
Note the most important 3 tasks first
Set deadline for short tasks
Divide the work by time
5. Take healthy and nutritious snacks
Morning breakfast is considered ‘brain fuel’. A balanced snack that has protein, fiber and some healthy fats, not only the body, but also keeps the mind stable.
Examples of breakfast:
Oats + milk + fruit
Sprouts + egg
Upma + coconut water
6. Read studies or inspirational materials
Morning time is the best time to learn and think. At this time, if you read a book for 15-20 minutes, listen to podcasts or watch any motivational video, then your approach remains positive throughout the day.
Some books suggestions:
“The 5 am Club” – Robin Sharma
“Atomic Habits” – James Clear
Bhagavad Gita or any religious verse
7. Distance from digital detox and social media
Scrolling on social media as soon as it wakes up destroys your mental energy. Try to keep distance from mobile, news or email for at least one hour in the morning. This time should only be for you.
8. Keep both flexibility and stability in the routine
It is not necessary that your morning is exactly the same every day. Sometimes weather, sometimes work or travel can change the routine. But your purpose should be – maintaining original habits.
Tips:
Set 3 morning habits that never break
If a habit is missed, do not take guilt, start the next day again
Give yourself free routine one day a week
A good routine of the morning is the foundation of a successful life. This not only enhances your functionality, but also makes your mental, physical and emotional health strong. If you decide that you start better every day, then both success and balance will start coming in your life yourself. Remember – Change in the morning, life will change.
