SET THE TONE FOR THE DAY IN THE MORNING

I’m a huge believer that your mornings set the tone for your day. Whatever you do in the morning will bite you in the butt during the day. If you have a great morning, your day will resemble it. On the other hand, if you start the day poorly, your day will most likely end that way (well, unless you’re able to miraculously kick out of a rut during the day!) So setting a positive tone at the beginning of the day is a must.

“Good morning is not just a word. It’s an action and a belief to live the entire day well. Morning is the time you set the tone for the rest of the day.” – Unknown

BUILD GREAT MORNINGS 

Although it seems easier said then done, it’s very possible to build great mornings! And the best way to do so is by following some sort of routine. Routines help you develop habits, be consistent, and stay focused. If you have never created a morning routine before, learn how to create an effective morning routine suitable for you, here!

THE PERFECT MORNING ROUTINE

While there are many great morning rituals we can all do, not all of them are ideal for everyone. What works for me, may not work for you. And vice-versa! So, a perfect morning routine is pretty much a morning routine that works for you.

My version of a perfect morning routine may differ from yours. Even a morning routine that may have worked for me a year ago, may not be ideal or perfect for me now. The thing about morning routines is that they aren’t meant to be static. Morning routines are meant to change as you grow. 

Therefore, there is no such thing as a perfect morning routine model. A perfect morning routine simply consists of great morning habits that work for you and your schedule while contributing to the current stage of life you are in.

30 Creative Morning Habits That Will Make You Happier

1. DIVIDE MORNING TASKS WITH ALARMS

Set up at least three alarms to divide up your morning tasks. Set an alarm to wake up, an alarm during half of your morning routine, and an alarm at the end of your morning routine! Doing this will help you accomplish all of your morning tasks and also make the most out of your mornings.

2. TIDY UP FIRST THINGS FIRST

Make your bed as soon as you wake up. This will help you not want to crawl back into bed.

3. TRY OIL PULLING

Have you ever heard of oil pulling? It’s a great way to improve your oral health.

All you have to do is swish a tablespoon of olive oil in your mouth for about 20 minutes. You can even do this while doing your makeup!

4. WHITEN YOUR TEETH

Use whitening strips to whiten your teeth! You can put on a whitening strip while getting dressed, doing your hair, or makeup!
