The topic of ‘morning rituals’ has cropped up over the past week and it has got me thinking.
What can each of us do in the morning to kick start our day in a positive manner?
I bet there are a ton of brilliant ideas out there and if you've got any, please feel free to comment below.
We need to remember that we live in the real world though, and any suggestion has got to be feasible.
The problem that a lot of the wellbeing gurus make, is that their suggestions just aren’t realistic for parents who have kids to prep for school, dogs that need walking or business folk who have got to rush out early doors for a conference meeting for example.
Here are four realistic morning rituals, totally feasible may I add, that will help you start your day in a positive and worthwhile fashion:-
(1) CONSISTENCY WITH BREAKFAST – Some people skip breakfast to save time, but forgoing your first meal is short-sighted. Fuelling up in the morning is one of the best ways to prevent dips in energy and productivity midmorning. Remove the stress and thinking, by eating pretty much the same thing every day.
(2) FILL YOUR WATERBOTTLE – Most people ignore hydration and survive on coffee all morning, with caffeine being a diuretic. We need to drink more than two litres of water a day to stay hydrated. Keep a refillable bottle by your side at all times and refill it every morning before you leave the house.
(3) POSITIVITY FOCUS - You can still incorporate mindfulness and positivity into your morning routine. Texting a friend an encouraging message or taking a few extra minutes with your son, daughter or loved one before you leave. The key is to find a moment, no matter how brief, that will set the right tone for the busy day ahead.
(4) REVISE YOUR WEEKLY SCHEDULE - Take a few minutes each morning to review your schedule for the week. Considering any last-minute changes and any new obligations is paramount. Determine what you can and can't move around and where you can squeeze in a workout.
