The morning is a really important part of your day: it can contribute significantly to your success but also be the root of your failure. So what to do in the morning in order to prepare yourself properly for the rest of the day? According to an article on the addicted2success.com website, you should keep a journal, exercise, decide what is important for you and, at least for a short while, meditate.
Journaling
People have been keeping journals for more than 1,000 years. There is no way this activity could have survived so long without having a decent purpose. Journaling is a very widespread phenomenon among highly successful entrepreneurs and politicians. It is a great opportunity to clarify your thoughts: especially if you are overwhelmed by emotions or the hectic pace of your life, the journal gives you time to pause and think things over. Once you have clarity in your overview of the situation, you can assess it properly and take more meaningful action.
Exercising
Exercising gives you the energy you need to make it through the day and stay as productive as you can. Exercise increases your focus and your performance. To get the most out of it, you should rise early, before the rest of the world wakes up, and other things will grab your attention. The same applies to the other items on this list.
Thinking about your schedule
Before doing anything else, figure out what is really important for you today. What are the big wins that need to be achieved, what are the things that actually matter? A full calendar does not necessarily mean you are about to do important things.
Sinking into meditation
There are many benefits associated with meditation: reduced levels of stress, increased self-awareness, greater ability to control your emotions and stronger willpower are just some of them. Meditation helps you to overcome challenging obstacles with a calm and focused mind.
And what is your recipe for a successful start to the day?
