Make it a Good Morning

By Kristen Schoolcraft Campos, PMHNP, MSW, MSW


Are your mornings filled with chaos and stress? Your morning sets the tone for the rest of the day, so it is important to start the day off right. Below are steps you can incorporate into your morning routine to improve your entire day.

1. Set alarm to work for you not against you. Give yourself enough time for morning routine.

2. Take 6 deep breaths, focus attention on you power, life force, affirmations

3. Make yourself smile

4. Keep a gratitude journal

5. Set an intention for the day, make a daily quote, draw a picture, or write ideas

6. Drink water before coffee

7. Move your body-stretch, yoga, workout

8. Mindfulness meditation 5-mins

9. Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea

10. Eat a healthy breakfast

11. Take a cold shower

12. Self-care and hygiene- look good feel good

13. Make your bed or water your plants- accomplish something

14. Look at a vision board

15. Make to –do list

16. Listen to good music

17. Watch an inspiring video

18. Sneak in exercises throughout the day or morning routine

19. Read a book

20. Get enough sleep

21. Set yourself up for success the night before by preparing for tomorrow, clothes, meals, ect

22. Repeat your routine

By repeating your routine daily, it eventually becomes a habit. To start new healthy habits, you must intentionally focus effort in those areas. It does not take long to form new habits, but starting can feel difficult because it often involves breaking old habits. Old habits likely formed because they were convenient and easy. I encourage you to try a 30-day challenge of a healthy morning routine and see how you feel at the end of the month.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle
