Morning habits for success: where to start
Now, let me be honest. I wasnβt always a morning person. Nope!
My love affair with the snooze button was legendary.
But then, I realized I needed a change, a morning routine makeover, if you will. And voila!
By incorporating a few simple, but game-changing habits, my mornings went from “meh” to “marvelous.”
So, let’s dive right in!
Here are my top morning habits that have been life-changers for me:
My favorite habits to do in the morning
#1 Embrace The Power of Hydration
First things first, after a long night’s slumber, your body is thirsty for hydration!
Starting your day with a tall glass of water (bonus points for a squeeze of fresh lemon, even if it’s just for the taste π) can jumpstart your metabolism, flush out toxins, and leave you feeling fresh and energized.
One of my favorite ways to stay on track with this is to have a go-to water bottle, and always fill it up before bed. This way, I will have it ready in the morning, making it easier to stick to the habit.
This one is my favorite because it keeps the water fresh and cool overnight (sometimes I add ice, and the little cubes are still there even after eight hours!)
#2 Morning Pages: My Secret Mindfulness Practice
One of the morning habits that truly revolutionized my mornings is writing morning pages. A tool that became popular through the book The Artist’s Way.
This practice is all about pouring out your thoughts on paper as soon as you wake up. No editing, no second-guessing, just raw and unfiltered you.
It’s incredibly therapeutic and sets a mindful tone for the rest of the day.
#3 Move That Beautiful Body
Get that blood pumping, sweetheart! Whether it’s a brisk walk in the park, a yoga routine, or an at-home workout session, moving your body first thing in the morning can do wonders.
It releases endorphins (happy hormones) and energizes you for the day ahead.
How to start your mornings
#4 Feed Your Mind with Positivity
Start your day with a hearty breakfast, not just for your body, but also for your mind.
This could be a motivating podcast, an uplifting TED talk, guided journaling, or an inspiring book. Feed your mind with positivity, and you’ll radiate it throughout the day.
#5 Plan and Prioritize Your Day
A cluttered mind equals a cluttered life. So, take a few moments each morning to plan and prioritize your day.
Having a clear idea of your tasks and goals can reduce stress and boost your productivity.
#6 Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude
Last but certainly not least, I start every morning by expressing gratitude.
Listing out things you’re thankful for cultivates positivity and helps you start the day on a happy note. It’s as simple as writing down three things you’re grateful for, and watching your life change!
Good morning routine habits
So, there you have it, lovely! My personal morning habits have reshaped my life. Remember, these are habits, so consistency is the key.
Try incorporating them into your routine, make them your own, and watch as your mornings (and life) transform beautifully.

Hey there Elina, I love to know that you are changing your mindset around that! And we all feel a little lazy sometimes, it’s natural and part of being human. Give your body the rest it needs so you can keep on going and creating a life you love. Proud of you!
