Sometimes, we forget just how valuable Morning routines are.

I mean, think about it: when you have no idea what it is you need to do in what order in the morning, it can lead to a lousy day.

Of course, you can have a bare minimum Morning Routine where you get up, go to the bathroom, shower, brush your teeth, and get dressed, but a great morning routine that will set you up for success will bring many more benefits.

Here are some habits to get into during your morning routine that will help you feel a lot more confident and ready for a successful day.

One tip involves a little work the night before. Get in the habit of preparing for the next day, the night before. It’s well known that planning out your outfit, making your lunch, and even getting your breakfast ready for the morning the night before saves you a ton of time.

Instead of scrambling to get everything done in the morning and risking forgetting something, just do whatever you can the night before!

Once you’re up and hopefully didn’t hit the snooze button too many times, drink some water. Starting your day by getting properly hydrated will help you physically and mentally. Getting in the habit of hydrating first thing in the morning will help keep all systems going.

Another great habit to get into in the morning is to take a few minutes and set your intention for the day, pray or meditate, and review your goals. Focus on what you need to get done and the kind of day you want to have.

If you want to start your day off feeling amazing, you should try and get some form of movement in.

Whether it be a full-blown trip to the gym for an hour, a brief walk around the block, or following a yoga YouTube video at home, getting in a little exercise before you start the rest of your day will make you feel on top of the world.

If you want to tick off something that will always be on your to-do list at the start of your day, take care of your space in the morning. Take 15-20 minutes to do some simple tidying to prevent frustration later in the day. Make your bed, take care of your dishes, throw a load of laundry in, etc.

Don’t forget to not only take care of your space but leave enough time for self-care in the morning. Sometimes, I wake up frazzled and quickly ignore proper self-care and rush through my skincare and makeup routines.

However, you’re bound to feel better if you have enough time to give your body everything it needs in the morning, from a nice exfoliating and relaxing shower to a proper skincare routine. Your body is your magical vessel that carries you throughout the day, so treat it well!

Finally, try getting in the habit of making your morning fun. This is a lot of stuff to get done in the morning, so try to frame it positively instead of getting stressed out. Bump your favorite upbeat songs in the morning while you shower and work out. Have your favorite funny television show playing in the background while you clean up and eat breakfast.

Your morning routine can really set the tone for the rest of your day, so if you want to feel happy and successful, prioritize getting into habits that make you feel that way.
