Capitalize on Your Morning

Meditation: Achieving a clear mental head-space ahead of completing errands, spending time with family or friends, or entering into a workday is key to setting you up for professional and personal success. Meditation does not have to look like a big undertaking, and can be as simple as 5 minutes of your day! Remember, listing attributes of your life that you’re grateful for, clearing your mind, engaging in breathwork, or any other form of mindfulness counts! It’s all about figuring out what works for YOU!
Substantial Breakfast: Let’s be honest, we know that when you say you’ve “had breakfast” it often means grabbing a cup of coffee and maybe a banana on the way out the door. However, with a few extra minutes in the morning, you can create a breakfast that will fill not only your tummy but your mind with delight. Transforming this component of your morning into one that brings you peace and happiness will change the way you view morning food! We encourage you to make some eggs, avocado toast, and omelet, a fruit bowl with yogurt or oatmeal, granola or cereal, or any other “substantial” meal that will prove more nutritious than before! Getting your mind and body ready for the day will show you more energy, a healthier diet, and increase brain effectiveness to its highest potential.
Exercise or Stretching: Exercising may look like a morning walk, a short run, an elliptical, a weight online video, a yoga routine, or a stretching sequence! The world of exercise is at our fingertips with just a quick online search, so make sure to incorporate some time for this highly rewarding experience into your morning. Similar to incorporating breakfast into your day, quick morning exercises will help you feel a higher sense of energy and productivity too.
Daily Preparation: Finally, allowing yourself to relax and sit down for a few extra moments each morning will help provide you extra time and space to prepare for the day ahead. This may look like a google calendar, a physical planner, a quick sticky-note to-do list, or any other form of “scheduling” – regardless of the form it takes, planning out your day will create a sense of accountability and organization all at once!
