Want to ensure that your day starts with a bang and not a boom? Establish a solid morning routine using these 6 steps:
- Once you open your eyes, take 5 deep diaphragmatic breaths (inhale through your nose for a count of 5 allowing your belly to rise; hold for a count of 5; exhale through pursed lips for a count of 5) – then get OUT of bed
- Meditate even if only for 5 minutes
- Journal – write down 5 to 10 things you are grateful for
- Exercise for 20 minutes – walk outside, ride your bike, do Yoga whatever you want, just move
- Read 15 pages of something positive and uplifting or listen to something of the same
- Set an intention for how you want the day to go
The key to feeling the positive effects of these 6 steps is making it a daily practice–practice makes permanent.
