00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.580
You're listening to the Achievement Radio podcast
00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:04.879
where you can unlock your full potential for
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:17.260
success. Today, I'm going to tell you five reasons
00:00:17.260 --> 00:00:20.420
why you need a morning routine. For some people,
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:23.280
getting up in the morning comes naturally. For
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.379
others, it becomes a downright battle with oneself
00:00:26.379 --> 00:00:29.940
to get up and start the day. No matter what category
00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:32.399
you fall under, one of the best ways to make
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:34.939
your mornings easier and better is to start a
00:00:34.939 --> 00:00:38.439
morning routine. Let's take a look. The first
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:40.439
reason why you need a morning routine is that
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:42.979
it kickstarts your morning. Whenever you have
00:00:42.979 --> 00:00:45.439
a set routine, you know exactly what to expect
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.500
and how long it will take you to get ready. As
00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:51.280
a result, you can actually get up in a manner
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.920
that is confident and prepared to take on the
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.039
day. This acts as a jolt of energy throughout
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.520
your entire system and morning. The second reason
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.659
why you need a morning routine is that it helps
00:01:02.659 --> 00:01:05.640
you to be more productive. Countless studies
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.140
have shown that having a morning routine is the
00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:11.280
key to productivity. All the most productive
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.700
and successful people in the world have a morning
00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:17.159
routine. Be more productive and successful throughout
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:22.280
your life by having a morning routine. 3. Mornings
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:25.450
can be incredibly stressful. especially if you're
00:01:25.450 --> 00:01:28.989
not prepared or rushing to get ready. By having
00:01:28.989 --> 00:01:31.849
a morning routine, you know exactly what's to
00:01:31.849 --> 00:01:34.209
come and don't have to worry about running around
00:01:34.209 --> 00:01:37.629
every morning. For this reason, you should have
00:01:37.629 --> 00:01:40.810
a morning routine to lower your stress. Given
00:01:40.810 --> 00:01:43.189
that stress leads to a number of negative health
00:01:43.189 --> 00:01:46.269
effects, it is important to minimize stress whenever
00:01:46.269 --> 00:01:50.069
possible. Morning routines are the perfect way
00:01:50.069 --> 00:01:53.989
to do this in the morning. 4. Everyone wishes
00:01:53.989 --> 00:01:57.109
that they had more time. One of the best and
00:01:57.109 --> 00:01:59.310
easiest ways to get more time out of life is
00:01:59.310 --> 00:02:02.689
to have a morning routine. Having a morning routine
00:02:02.689 --> 00:02:05.590
creates extra space in the day to focus on yourself,
00:02:06.170 --> 00:02:09.270
your goals, and your well -being. In other words,
00:02:09.610 --> 00:02:13.430
it gives you more time throughout your day. Finally,
00:02:13.909 --> 00:02:16.050
the last reason why you should have a morning
00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:18.889
routine is that it helps you to prioritize your
00:02:18.889 --> 00:02:22.430
tasks. Mornings are busy. In order to create
00:02:22.430 --> 00:02:24.550
a great morning routine, you need to be able
00:02:24.550 --> 00:02:27.449
to prioritize what needs to be done, what can
00:02:27.449 --> 00:02:29.990
be done at night, and what needs to be forgotten
00:02:29.990 --> 00:02:33.830
about completely. This helps you to prioritize
00:02:33.830 --> 00:02:37.610
your tasks morning, noon and night. Learning
00:02:37.610 --> 00:02:40.330
how to prioritize your tasks may not seem like
00:02:40.330 --> 00:02:43.330
a big deal, but it is key to becoming successful.
00:02:43.849 --> 00:02:46.650
If there are too many tasks on your plate, it's
00:02:46.650 --> 00:02:49.389
easy to get bogged down and never fully commit
00:02:49.389 --> 00:02:53.030
to anything. Prioritizing tasks in the morning
00:02:53.030 --> 00:02:55.710
helps you to get started and commit to the day
00:02:55.710 --> 00:03:00.370
fully, leading to more success. All in all, having
00:03:00.370 --> 00:03:02.650
a morning routine will benefit you in a number
00:03:02.650 --> 00:03:05.270
of ways. From kick -starting your morning to
00:03:05.270 --> 00:03:08.310
helping you prioritize your tasks, creating a
00:03:08.310 --> 00:03:10.129
morning routine will help you create the life
00:03:10.129 --> 00:03:13.530
you want, be the best version of yourself, and
00:03:13.530 --> 00:03:17.740
not focus on the little details. One of the most
00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:20.099
challenging parts of crafting a morning routine
00:03:20.099 --> 00:03:22.639
is deciding what activities you want to do in
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.780
the morning. Everyone has a different groove,
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.259
and a number of different activities can be the
00:03:28.259 --> 00:03:30.659
best way to kickstart your morning and enhance
00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:33.860
productivity. To make the process of creating
00:03:33.860 --> 00:03:36.699
a morning ritual a little bit easier, I'm going
00:03:36.699 --> 00:03:39.039
to tell you about five morning rituals to try
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.379
today. You can try these rituals one day at a
00:03:42.379 --> 00:03:44.639
time before picking which one is best for you.
00:03:44.860 --> 00:03:49.400
Let's get started. 1. Reading stretches your
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.000
mind and wakes up your brain to tackle the day.
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.580
Incorporate reading into your morning ritual,
00:03:54.939 --> 00:03:58.000
whether it be a newspaper, a novel, or a self
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.680
-help book. Try to read something to jolt your
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.300
brain awake. The one tip is to try to stay away
00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:06.800
from your phone. Whenever you scroll through
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.199
news apps on your phone, you'll be tempted to
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.580
look on social media or email. Try to stick to
00:04:12.580 --> 00:04:15.159
physical texts or devices that are specifically
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:19.800
designed for reading, like Kindles. Two. In the
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.519
morning, drink water immediately, no matter what.
00:04:24.100 --> 00:04:26.240
After you've been sleeping all night, your body
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.819
is likely dehydrated and needs a lot of water
00:04:28.819 --> 00:04:32.100
to get your body pumping again. As a ritual to
00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:35.100
help your body get back awake, drink lemon water
00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:38.480
every morning. Drinking lemon water will aid
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.350
in digestion. provide you with a lot of vitamins
00:04:41.350 --> 00:04:44.850
and rehydrate your body. It is a good idea to
00:04:44.850 --> 00:04:47.709
drink lukewarm or warm lemon water instead of
00:04:47.709 --> 00:04:50.470
cold water in the morning, but it's up to you.
00:04:50.689 --> 00:04:54.069
Three. If you have a lot on your plate, you may
00:04:54.069 --> 00:04:56.829
want to journal in the morning. Journaling is
00:04:56.829 --> 00:04:59.250
an easy way to be creative and get your emotions
00:04:59.250 --> 00:05:02.750
out healthily and effectively. Journal every
00:05:02.750 --> 00:05:05.189
morning to challenge your mind and feel better.
00:05:05.899 --> 00:05:08.480
Journaling doesn't have to be a long process.
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.600
It can actually be very short and snappy when
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:13.939
you opt for journaling methods like gratitude
00:05:13.939 --> 00:05:17.339
lists or to -do lists. For a gratitude list,
00:05:17.779 --> 00:05:20.019
jot down three to five items you're grateful
00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:22.879
for every morning before getting out of bed.
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:27.300
Four. Exercising is imperative to keep your body
00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:30.990
healthy and happy. However, If you put off exercising
00:05:30.990 --> 00:05:33.730
at night, it's more likely that you will slack
00:05:33.730 --> 00:05:35.829
off since you're already tired from the rest
00:05:35.829 --> 00:05:39.910
of your day. Combat this from happening by exercising
00:05:39.910 --> 00:05:43.069
in the morning. Exercising in the morning kickstarts
00:05:43.069 --> 00:05:45.730
your metabolism and gets the tasks done before
00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:49.290
the day. Whether you like doing yoga or jogging,
00:05:49.629 --> 00:05:52.709
make your morning exercise fun, sweat -inducing,
00:05:52.910 --> 00:05:58.069
and exciting. Five. Meditating often seems intimidating,
00:05:58.350 --> 00:06:01.449
but it shouldn't be. It is a great way to train
00:06:01.449 --> 00:06:04.730
your focus and feel better about yourself. Every
00:06:04.730 --> 00:06:07.850
morning try to meditate for a few minutes. Increase
00:06:07.850 --> 00:06:10.129
the meditation time as you get better and better
00:06:10.129 --> 00:06:13.430
at meditating. My personal favorite place to
00:06:13.430 --> 00:06:15.910
meditate is outside whenever the weather allows.
00:06:16.589 --> 00:06:19.129
It allows me to connect with nature and feel
00:06:19.129 --> 00:06:22.829
more at peace, especially since most people work
00:06:22.829 --> 00:06:26.329
inside. Meditating outside is a great way not
00:06:26.329 --> 00:06:29.089
to feel stuffy or confined by everyday life.
00:06:29.750 --> 00:06:32.069
There are tons of little rituals that you can
00:06:32.069 --> 00:06:34.850
add to your morning routine. To find out which
00:06:34.850 --> 00:06:37.790
of these rituals are best for you, try every
00:06:37.790 --> 00:06:40.149
one of them until you find a groove that matches
00:06:40.149 --> 00:06:43.750
your desires and morning. When you first start
00:06:43.750 --> 00:06:46.050
using morning routines, you may be confused about
00:06:46.050 --> 00:06:49.129
their point. To put it simply, morning routines
00:06:49.129 --> 00:06:51.899
act as a backdrop for your day. If you have a
00:06:51.899 --> 00:06:53.879
good morning routine, your day will go smoother
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.160
and be productive. In contrast, a bad morning
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.379
often leads to a stress -filled day. Let's take
00:07:00.379 --> 00:07:02.759
a closer look at how morning routines act as
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.800
a backdrop for your day. Have you ever noticed
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.600
how much your morning can affect your day? If
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:10.879
there is a day where you feel really stressed
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.160
and rushed in the morning, chances are that you
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.120
feel the same way throughout the rest of your
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.680
day. In contrast, you probably feel excited,
00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:21.259
relaxed, or productive whenever the mornings
00:07:21.259 --> 00:07:25.180
are easygoing and organized. Both of these incidents
00:07:25.180 --> 00:07:27.319
reflect how your morning is the backdrop for
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.220
your day. By focusing on how you act during the
00:07:30.220 --> 00:07:32.680
morning, you can transform how the rest of your
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.839
day plays out. In other words, focusing on your
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:39.720
morning helps you create the life you want. How
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.199
to use a morning routine as a backdrop for a
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.399
productive day. Many people find that staying
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:48.779
productive is a really challenging task, especially
00:07:48.779 --> 00:07:50.839
considering the current climate of working from
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.740
home. One of the best ways to kickstart your
00:07:53.740 --> 00:07:56.060
productivity is to incorporate being productive
00:07:56.060 --> 00:07:59.259
into your morning routine. By having a productive
00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:01.620
morning routine, you kick your mind into the
00:08:01.620 --> 00:08:04.240
right gear. It helps you get into a momentum
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.800
or swing of things that follows you throughout
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.639
the rest of your day. That's why people who get
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:12.600
up early and get moving fast tend to be more
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.660
productive and successful in their life. If you
00:08:15.660 --> 00:08:17.500
want to use your morning routine as a backdrop
00:08:17.500 --> 00:08:20.220
for a productive day, think of small activities
00:08:20.220 --> 00:08:23.360
that boost productivity early on. This includes
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.300
opening your blinds, making your bed, working
00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:29.279
out, and reading. All of these activities help
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:31.300
you be more productive in the morning and get
00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:35.740
you motivated for continuing productivity. Productivity
00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:37.840
isn't the only way that morning routines can
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.460
change your day. Morning routines are a great
00:08:40.460 --> 00:08:42.480
way to be happier and stress -free throughout
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:45.399
your day and life. That's because morning routines
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:47.799
cut out time in your day to focus on yourself
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:51.259
and not rush into your daily activities. If you
00:08:51.259 --> 00:08:53.340
want to use a morning routine as a backdrop for
00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:56.220
a happy day, focus on activities that nurture
00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:58.779
yourself and take away distractions and stress.
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.139
This includes going device -free, meditating,
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:05.669
mindfulness practice. journaling, and anything
00:09:05.669 --> 00:09:07.889
else that takes you outside of your own mind.
00:09:08.750 --> 00:09:10.909
Some of the more productive activities can also
00:09:10.909 --> 00:09:13.669
help you improve your satisfaction and contentment
00:09:13.669 --> 00:09:17.129
with life. For example, opening your blinds is
00:09:17.129 --> 00:09:19.690
a great way to feel more optimistic because it
00:09:19.690 --> 00:09:22.389
exposes you to sunlight, which naturally makes
00:09:22.389 --> 00:09:25.809
you feel better. All in all, morning routines
00:09:25.809 --> 00:09:28.690
set the stage for your day. You can specifically
