7 ways to start your morning routine off right

Starting your morning off on the right foot can set the tone for the rest of the day and help you feel more productive, energized and positive. 

Here are Retrealm’s 7 tips on how to start your morning right:

Wake up at the same time every day: Try to wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends, to help regulate your body's natural sleep patterns. This will make it easier to wake up and feel refreshed in the morning.

Hydrate: Drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up. This helps to rehydrate your body after a night of sleep and can also help to boost your metabolism.

Plan your day: Take a few minutes to plan out your day. Having a clear idea of what you need to accomplish and when can help to reduce stress and increase productivity.

Exercise: Even a short workout in the morning can help to boost energy levels and improve mood. Try to incorporate some form of exercise into your morning routine, whether it's a quick yoga flow, a brisk walk, or a full workout.

Eat a healthy breakfast: Starting your day with a nutritious breakfast can help to fuel your body and mind for the day ahead. Try to include a mix of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates in your breakfast.

Meditate or practice gratitude: Practicing mindfulness or gratitude in the morning can help to set a positive tone for the day. You could take a few minutes to meditate and hold a crystal or journal about what you're grateful for.

Avoid screens: Try to avoid screens for the first hour of your day. The blue light emitted by screens can suppress the production of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep.

Personal grooming: Take the time to groom yourself, get dressed, and make your bed. These small acts of self-care can help to improve your mood and set the tone for the day.

What's most important is that you find a routine that will make you feel good and motivated to take on the day ahead.
