My Morning Routine:

 7 powerful lessons from the book "My Morning Routine: How Successful People Start Every Day Inspired" by Benjamin Spall and Michael Xander.

1. There's no magic formula: The authors emphasize that the most successful morning routine is the one that works best for you. Don't blindly copy someone else's routine; experiment and discover what helps you feel energized, focused, and inspired to start your day.
 

2. Start with intention: Setting an intention for your day helps you focus on what you want to achieve and how you want to feel. This could be anything from being productive and efficient to being present and mindful. Taking a few minutes to set your intention can make a big difference in your overall well-being.

 

3. Move your body: Getting some physical activity in the morning is a great way to wake up your body and mind. Even a short walk or yoga session can help you feel more energized and focused throughout the day.
 

4. Feed your mind: Start your day with something that nourishes your mind, such as reading, listening to a podcast, or doing a crossword puzzle. This will help you wake up your brain and get it ready for the day ahead.
 

5. Practice gratitude: Taking a few minutes to reflect on the things you're grateful for can help you start your day with a positive mindset. This can be anything from your health and loved ones to your job and home.
 

6. Minimize distractions: Avoid checking your email, social media, or phone first thing in the morning. These distractions can derail your focus and make it harder to get into a productive flow.
 

7. Create a relaxing bedtime routine: Getting enough sleep is essential for starting your day off right. Create a relaxing bedtime routine that will help you wind down and get a good night's sleep. This could include taking a warm bath, reading a book, or avoiding screens for an hour before bed.
