Morning Routine: Ideas and Activities

Are you trying to put together a morning routine but not sure what to include?

Check out my blog about setting up your perfect morning routine here.

But if you already read through that but you just need a couple ideas, you are in the right place.

All of the activities are organized by type and you will notice that some are mentioned in multiple places. This is no mistake! Something like journaling and meditating can cover multiple aspects of your morning routine.

Space

Things to consider:

- smell: candle or essential oils?

- comfort: cozy blanket, comfy chair or refreshing morning air?

- energy: calm or motivating?

- sound: silence, nature sounds or music?

- light: dimmed lamps or windows open wide?

- clutter: clean and organized or little mess doesn't bother you much?
