Morning Routines

Mornings can be a chaotic mess. The rush combined with the sleepiness many of us feel early in the morning can set the tone for the rest of the day. A rough start to the morning can set the stage for a “bad” day.

Planning is key! Here are a few ideas to help minimize the morning blues:

The night before:

• set out clothing for the next day
• prepare briefcase, purse, wallet, backpack, etc
• know what you are making for breakfast
• pack or at least plan lunch
• go to sleep at a reasonable time

In the morning:

• get up when you hear the alarm (no snoozing!)
• eat breakfast
• focus on the positive

These steps form the foundation for an efficient start to the day. Try to stick to the same routine everyday. An organized morning routine is the perfect opener to a peaceful day.
