Win the Morning = Win the Day

If I said you could make tomorrow the best day ever by implementing a few simple habits, would I have your attention? Most of us would say yes, but the reality is most of us wouldn't make the necessary ​changes. The way we start the day impacts how we finish the day. So, to make the day great we must win the mornings! 

Those who live great lives experience the power of the morning by creating strong habits and routines that set them up for an unbreakable day. The goal is to develop a routine that works for you.  Here are some suggestions to help you win the morning so you can win the day:

  • Wake up early: Set your alarm for half an hour to an hour earlier than you normally would and get up when it goes off. If this means putting your alarm in a separate room, then do it. Rise before the chaos of the day can start. Most of our days feel rushed because we start them that way.

  • Be grateful: Successful people have a heart of gratitude. Be grateful for the opportunity to take a breath because someone didn't have that same opportunity today. Be grateful for the chance to make today great. Say thank you.

  • Insert positive thoughts: Stay off social media first thing in the morning. There will be time to check what your friends are eating later. Tell yourself that today will be the day where you crush your goals and then prepare yourself for great things to happen. The power of positive thinking will change the course of your day. Remember to smile and see if you can make someone else smile today.

  • Exercise: Strong body, strong mind; get yourself up and moving. Investing in your body leads to a mind that is strong and able to handle obstacles that may come its way. Start small and find the exercise routine that works for you. (Exercise disclaimer: always consult a physician before engaging in any exercise program.)

  • Read: Fill your mind with information that will allow you to be great. Don't have time? Listen to an audio book or a podcast while exercising or on a commute. Take time to invest in your brain – we only get one.

  • Write: Put your goals, dreams, fears, challenges down on paper. Writing gets things out of your brain, so you can focus on today; it is a way to clear the clutter that consumes our minds so we can focus on what is most important.
​
  • Go: The toughest part of making changes is actually doing it. Tell yourself I'm going to invest in myself to make my life great. The biggest lie we tell ourselves is that we are too busy or it is selfish to take time for ourselves. Taking time in the morning for yourself will allow you to invest in others, which can have a positive impact on their lives.

Life is a journey and we want to enjoy it. Find the routine that works for you, so you can conquer the morning and the day!
