1. AVOID YOUR PHONE
71% of Americans use their phones within 10 minutes of waking up.
Using your phone early can:

Give yourself a break of 30 minutes before using your phone.
2. MAKE YOUR BED
Make your bed straight away.
This act offers several advantages:

- Only takes 2 minutes to finish this initial task
- A quick way to feel a sense of achievement
- Keeps your space neat & promotes a calm mind
3. DRINK WATER
Drinking a glass of water in the morning helps your body after a night without water.
There are many other benefits of drinking water when you wake up:
- Good for your skin

4. PRACTICE GRATITUDE
Being thankful can boost your happiness, understanding, and confidence.
Here are some ways to bring thankfulness into your mornings:

5. TRY RUNNING OR GO TO THE GYM.
Doing exercise makes your brain release happy chemicals, making you feel good, less stressed, and more focused.
Morning workouts keep you feeling great throughout the day.
6. READ
Reading is great for lowering stress, enhancing communication skills, and boosting focus.
When you read in the morning, you remember more.

Make sure to allocate sufficient time for your morning routine and get to work on time.
If you arrive at work stressed because you're running late, you've already lost the momentum your morning routine built.
