My Morning Routine
A morning routine can help you be more productive, but also more relaxed, if you not overpace yourself. Try to establish a morning routine that helps you waking up yourself and your body. Mostly a morning routine is like a ritual, helping you to connect to the world. Since humans are social beings, being connected to your surroundings has a big benefit for us. For a good and healthy morning routine, you need 2 important parts: a mental and a physical one. Remember: It doesn’t matter when you get up, but how you get up.
One has to simple design his own Morning Routine to fit to his or her needs. If you need an hour, take your hour. If you need 15 Minutes, take 15 Minutes. Prioritize your own habits.
I would suggest to find your own morning routine and stick to it. Even if you find it boring. Try to keep it forever. As your steady point. As something unchangeable in a constantly changing world.
Mental
For some people setting daily goals, writing lists or schedules can help them organizing their day. If you are like that, DO IT. I normally write my plans and schedules the day before.
In my morning routine I try to read some sayings, wise words, phrases or quotes. Zen Buddhist Monks or Sword Masters are my favourite. Sometimes I just go through my favourite accounts on Instagram and find the wisedom there. You’ll figure it out.
Another important part in my morning routine is meditation. I try to meditate for at least 5 Minutes, up to 15, depending on what tasks are ahead.
Physical
Drink a lot. Water. Tea or Coffee should be a nice, enjoyable add on.
If you eat a breakfast you should eat healthy. Eat tasteful, but most important eat food that gives you the power you need. For breakfast i suggest Oatmeal, Cereals, Eggs, Meat. Protein. And some fiber that helps you digest.
Do a Workout. Some workout that make your blood flow. Yoga if you like. Or run. Sometimes I do run too. For 30 Minutes. Again: don’t exhasut yourself, you have a dayful of tasks ahead.
Instead of running, a morning workout could look like this:
STATIC WARM UP
1 Minute Plank
1 Minute Boathold
1 Minute Parachute
2 Minute Jumping Jacks
WORKOUT
4 Rounds (20 Minutes EMOM)
5 Pull Ups
10 Push Ups
10 Squats
10 Leg Raises
10 Superman
COOL DOWN
Stretching for 10 Minutes (Each Minute change the stretching position)
