Five Tips For Creating A Morning Ritual That Sticks

It's important to ease into your day – on your own terms.

Establishing a morning ritual, preferably one that does not involve a screen, can set the tone for your entire day.

Whether your morning ritual takes place at home or in the office, it’s important to ease into your day, and do it on your own terms. Before you let external factors such as screaming children, urgent emails, and smartphone notifications send you into a state of anxiety, start the day by focusing on the things you can control. A consistent morning ritual will put you in a proactive versus reactive state from the get-go: instead of feeling like you’re playing catch-up, you’re composed and ready to tackle whatever obstacles come your way.  

Of course, starting (and maintaining) a morning ritual is easier said than done. We don’t live in a vacuum and everyone’s personal situation is different. Some of us have young children, dependents, or pets who need us from the moment we wake up, others have jobs that require them to be available 24/7. The beauty about rituals, however, is that there is no one size fits all. You get to design your own personal ritual based on whatever works for you!
