All my podcast faves talk about their morning routines:
My morning routine consists of:
Meditation, journaling and affirmations, make my bed, and movement. I also drink 12 oz of water, and do cold exposure, where I turn my shower cold at the end for around 60 seconds. I’ve found that if I turn the water cold slowly, it doesn’t shock me or leave me breathless.
After my morning routine, I am ready to face my day head on.
By far the linchpin in the magic of my morning routine is movement. I look forward to meditation and journaling, but getting up and moving my body sheds any layers of self-doubt, or I-don’t-want-to-get-out-of-bedness that may be lingering.
I work out 5 mornings a week, but twice a week I have early mornings, and can’t get a workout in, but I still move. On my early mornings, I will play a song with a speedy tempo and get my heart rate up for 3-4 minutes. It is fun, and works to shed the last of the I don’t want to face today yet feeling.
It’s magical.

You get the idea. Enjoy!
