Create a Morning Routine

Morning routines often dictate how the rest of your day will unfold. It’s no wonder why so many famous and successful people have a rigid morning routine that they stick to no matter what.

Here are some ideas for your new morning routine that will help you get motivated:

There are no rules for a good morning routine, as long as it gets you excited to wake up in the morning.

You could also add some positive thinking to your routine, too. Instead of waking up worrying about work or other responsibilities, spin them in a new way.

Say in your head or, better yet, out loud, “I’m looking forward to tackling that presentation today, it’s going to go well…” etc. These kinds of thoughts will give you a boost of positive energy.

Start With a Quick Win

It’s easy to bury your head in the sand or procrastinate when you’re staring down the barrel of a multi-page to-do list. You can get motivated to tackle it by starting with the easiest task first.

It’s the “snowball effect.” It will feel good to watch that list grow shorter, no matter how easy the first few tasks are. This will motivate you to carry on and tick off the more difficult ones.
