Do you have a morning routine? Something you do every day after you wake up?

For years I didn’t really have a morning routine, I would just get up, get ready and rush out the door to go to work. Then all those articles on morning routines of successful people started growing like mushrooms out of nowhere and I said I need to try that. And I did. Many times.

I’ve tried many different morning habits and ideas, but here are 8 morning rituals that I really find life-changing. When I practice these, all good things go up – my productivity, my happiness, my health, my fitness and my kindness. Here they are.


8 Morning Rituals That Will Transform You

1. Still…Being An Early Bird Pays Off

I’ve been struggling with this for years, because I always thought I’m a night owl. But waking up earlier, taking care of me, and getting the most important stuff done first feels amazing.

There’s nothing like that feeling of having completed something you’ve been putting off for a week by 10am.

2. Move

Even just 10 minutes of exercise can have such an impact on your mood, your productivity and your health.

If exercise isn’t a part of your morning routine, I highly, highly recommend – you try it out. Yoga is my favourite way to start the day and it’s very beginner-friendly.

Plus, by now we know, you don’t need to rush to a yoga class at 5 am – you can do it at home whenever you want.

You can find videos on Youtube or check out Grokker for more structured programs. If you want to give Grokker a try, I have a free 14-day trial for you here.


3. Keep A Gratitude Journal

Each day, start with three things you’re grateful for. You don’t need to buy anything fancy to do this – any notepad or your bullet journal can become that gratitude journal. But if you want to make it a special ritual, there are many beautiful options here on Amazon.

Once you have your journal ready, write down that you feel grateful for today. It can be simple things like:

  • I’m thankful I woke up today
  • I’m thankful for witnessing this sunrise
  • I’m thankful I made myself do this 10-minute workout, I feel awesome

This will help you start the day in a positive way, it will make you more optimistic for what’s to come today.

4. Expect Good Things

Happiness comes from intentional action. People aren’t naturally happy every single day. You decide to be happy. By choosing to do the things that make you happy today and by carefully choosing the way you react and think about what happens around you and to you.

So set an intention to have an awesome day.

When you go through your day with the intent to actually feel good – you shift your focus and see the good things instead of the bad. You start acting and reacting differently and all that makes for a happy day. 


5. Listen To Uplifting Music.

Don’t just listen to any music, listen to the music that makes you feel alive and sing along. This little habit can reduce stress and anxiety – it’s even been shown in studies. There’s nothing more rewarding than singing along to Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder or Mariah Carey. 


6. Priorities Are Huge

We all have to do lists – they’re not difficult to make. However, to actually achieve the things that are important and will bring results long-term, you need to set priorities for the day and work on them first.

Choose 3-5 things that will really make a difference in your life long-term. Currently my daily priorities include exercise, preparing healthy meals, spending time with my child and writing a blog post for this blog.

Do this in the morning or, even better, if you don’t forget – the night before. It makes such a huge difference!

I highly recommend if you don’t have a planner yet to get one like this. It’s the LifePlanner and it can truly make your life easier.

This planner will increase productivity, time management and it’s highly customizable! You can learn more about the LifePlanner take a look through the pages here.


7. Spend time in nature.

Nature has a way of healing us. I feel at least a year younger when I disconnect and spend a few days in nature.

But you don’t need to take a weekend off, you can do this on a daily basis.

Spending time in nature can mean you sitting on the front porch for 5 minutes or taking a quick walk around your block to breathe some fresh air and look at the trees and sky.


8. Looking Good And Feeling Good Go Hand In Hand

This might seem superficial to some, but the way you choose to dress, wear your hair and take care of your physical self overall does affect how you feel on the inside.

Match the way you look on the outside with the way you want to feel. This way, even if it’s not your very best day, you’ll start feeling better and it’s only a small effort.
