Dear friends, we all know consistency is the key to success. How about having a consistent morning routine? Here are five things you could do when you wake up in the morning to jump-start a productive work day:
1: Forget your phone; say a prayer instead.
Do you take daily vitamins? Prayer is the vitamin for our souls.
Here is a prayer I like to say when I wake up.
Dear heavenly Father,
Please give me a heart of wisdom and a clear mind today.
Give me eyes to see what I should see, and ears to hear what I should listen to. Give me words to say and the right food to eat.
Provide me with good works for my hands and a straight path for my feet to walk on.
In Jesus name: Amen.
You could either pray out loud or pray in your head.
Either way, there is nothing better to start your day than a little talk with God. It will position your mind and heart to a clear path.
2: stretch.
A simple stretch exercise will wake up your body.
You don’t need to do a whole yoga routine. Three minutes of a simple stretch to the head, neck, shoulders, back and legs is enough. More than likely after a day of sitting in your office, your back will thank you later.
3: Treat yourself with a healthy breakfast.
Plan ahead your breakfast for the day.
Breakfast usually takes a back seat to other meals but it’s actually the most important meal. A healthy breakfast will nurture your body for the mental challenge of keeping a consistent work pace .
On the contrary, too many sugars and coffee will make you crash and burn later.
4: Plan your day.
Look over your schedule and allow room for unexpected changes. It always happens, right?
A little trick: “Eat the frog first”—do the things that you procrastinate or are difficult to complete. Put them first so you can move on knowing you have already completed the “chore”.
5: leave time for grooming.
Even if you work from home, a clean face with simple make-up and a lovely dress or a nice shirt will make you feel refreshed. Self-care is self-love. Now you can go conquer the world!
Love
