Lately I have been trying to adopt healthier habits in the morning and I have noticed that these ten habits have significantly impacted my day, and better yet, my mood. When I have the ability to do each of these things, I find that I have a better day and tend to be happier. When I don’t do one of these things, something feels “off." So, go ahead and try, even if it’s just one or two, see if it works for you like it worked for me.

1) Wake up earlier

Start with waking up just 15 minutes earlier, and then try waking up 30 minutes earlier and so forth. It really makes a difference, trust me.

2) Drink water, lots of it.

It makes you feel so good and gives you tons of energy.

3) Read or write

Consider this to be “you” time.

4) Take time to make a nice breakfast

It’ll fuel you with all the energy you need for the day.

5) Clean up a little

A clean space gives you a clear mind.

6) Exercise

Get those serotonin levels up!

7) Make a cup of coffee and enjoy

Some more “you” time.

8) Don’t go on your phone when you wake up

It’s not good for you and this will allow you to get right on up.

9) Go outside

Fresh air does wonders for the soul.

10) Relax

You deserve it.
