Having a morning ritual is a great way to practice some form of self-care, such as your morning meditation or a quick workout. Or, it could be something as simple as sipping your tea while listening to a podcast or reading a self-improvement motivational book. 

Setting some time aside to take care of you first thing in the morning is a great way to help get the day started off feeling a bit less stressed. 

A morning ritual can also make things feel a bit less chaotic. If you are used to waking up and barely getting out the door on time, having a little bit of a routine in place can help completely transform your morning. 

All of this means a less stressful start to your day and a better chance of starting things off with positivity to bring throughout your day. 

Read below as we share a few of our favorite things to include in a morning ritual. 

5 Things to Include in a Morning Ritual 

• 5-10 Minutes of Meditation 
• 15 Minutes of Yoga or Brisk Walking
• 20 Minutes of Quiet Time (drinking your tea or coffee while reading or simply practicing mindfulness)
• Journaling 
• Organizing Your Daily To-Do and Prioritizing What’s Most Important First 

Get Your Day Started Off On a Positive Note  

If you have been trying to get into a morning routine, we invite you to give some of these things a try! Try incorporating one into your morning ritual and then maybe add another one or two things until you have a solid hour in the morning to do something for yourself and set the tone for a positive day. 

Here’s to more productive and positive mornings!
