Wake Up Really Early
There’s a reason why successful people are ahead of everyone else. They start the day early and get a lot more done. Make this a habit and you’ll actually accomplish a lot in your entire lifetime!

Yoga
Nothing like a good morning stretch to wake the body and mind up! It’s a good way to start your day because it eliminates sluggishness and fatigue. Yoga is also a great way to get in shape.

Meditation/Reflection
You might think it’s a waste of time but meditation is pretty powerful once mastered. Not only does it calm the mind and body, it is also said to be energizing and allows for beter focus throughout the day!

Eating a Healthy Breakfast
Like they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So treat yourself to healthy breakfast, especially on a workday because you’ll need that energy to fuel you throughout the morning.

Don’t Check Your Email
Instead, leave it until you actually get into work. Make ‘me’ time your morning priority and give yourself time to live a little before getting down to business.

Exercise/Workout
Cardio, brisk walking or running as part of your morning routine are things you can do not just to keep in shape, but energize you and get your blood pumping for the rest of the day.

Warm Water With Lemon
Some claim that this is a healthier alternative to coffee because it’s more hydrating and nutritious than a cup of your caffeinated drink.

Ask This Question
“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do I am about to do today?”–Steve Jobs. It’s a good way to reflect and reaffirm your purpose before starting the day.

Bonding Time
Whether it’s cuddling with your loved one before getting out of bed or having breakfast with the kids, starting the morning with family is always a wonderful occasion that shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Gratitude
Get up in the morning and reflect on the things that you feel are a blessing to you. A home, family, your cat, etc. Start your day positively and you’ll realize the rest of the day will follow along the same trend.

Get Inspired
Read motivational anecdotes and inspiring quotes that can encourage you and challenge you to do better for the day. It’s good fuel for the mind and heart.

Do The Difficult Task First
Or also known as, ‘eat the frog first’. Most people find that tackling the harder tasks first and getting it done makes doing the other simpler task a breeze.

Watch/Read The News
I guess most successful people to this as preparation before they take on the day. Before heading out into the world, you must first know what’s happening in the world. Makes sense.

Map Out Your Day
Create a to-do-list and a game plan so that you’re more organized in taking on your tasks at work. It’s a good strategy to get more things done faster as well.

Coffee
Successful people are human too, just like us and most of them admitted that they cannot function at all without their morning pick-me-up, Coffee.
