Whether we realize it or not, we all have a morning routine. Our morning routine is either working for us, or working against us. Let’s make sure that it is working for us by starting some new habits.

I wanted to optimize my morning routine, so I did some research on what other successful people do every morning. Here are the top 9 ways that I found to optimize our morning routine:

1. Wake up with a grateful attitude. Smile 🙂 Be grateful for the obvious stuff, but also be thankful for those little things that you take for granted.
2. Look at your goal board, affirmations and/or mission statements.
3. Pray and meditate. Meditate on both the word of God and on your goals.
4. Drink 2 glasses of water, before you drink or eat anything else. Water hydrates you and purifies your system.
5. Properly fuel up your body with good food.
6. Read a book or listen to an audiobook. I often listen to audios while I get ready in the morning.
7. Workout. Take a walk if your schedule allows, or I would suggest Maximized Living techniques like in this video.
8. If you haven’t already, plan your day. If you’ve already written down your day in advance, review it and makes changes, if necessary.
9. Take massive action on an income-producing activity

Remember, it only takes 21 days to start a new habit. Fine tune your optimal morning routine and follow it every day, for at least 21 days. Write down your optimal routine steps and put it somewhere where you will see it every day. Your routine will soon become normal to you. It will feel weird if you skip your routine.

To keep the routine interesting, make sure to mix things up a little bit every day. Have several different affirmation/afformation lists, try different exercises, or whatever else you can change up without interrupting your optimal routine.

Make yourself a promise to commit to this morning routine for at least 21 days.

Let’s start optimizing our morning routine!

Do you already implement some (or all) of these 9 things, or do you have other proven techniques that have helped you optimize your mornings? If you do,please share below 🙂
