Your Morning Ritual Can Make Or Break Your Success
So choose wisely
Your mornings can set the tone for your entire day. It can mean the difference between a super-productive day or a sluggish one.
Yet many people take their mornings for granted. For them, the time between waking up and getting to work is a blur, but bad habits like repeatedly hitting the snooze button are not as insignificant as you may think. The tone of our mornings has a powerful ripple effect on our mood, happiness, and focus for the rest of the day. It becomes a cycle: wake up stressed, spend the rest of the day feeling that way, go to sleep feeling anxious, and repeat.
On the other hand, morning routines provide a way to feel accomplished and reach new levels of success… all before 8 a.m. There’s why many highly successful leaders — from Benjamin Franklin to Oprah, Bill Gates, and Anna Wintour — have crafted morning rituals that maximize their energy, productivity, and creativity all day long.
I’m a huge believer and evangelist for the power of mornings and daily routines. Recently, I was asked to share my AM rituals over on My Morning Routine.
