1. Wake Up Gently: Avoid hitting the snooze button. Instead, set your alarm for a reasonable time that allows you to wake up naturally. Open your curtains or blinds to let in natural light, signaling to your body that it's time to rise.  (5-10 minutes) 
2. Hydrate: Before anything else, drink a full glass of water. This helps to rehydrate your body after sleep and kick-start your metabolism.  (5 minutes) 
3. Meditation: Find a quiet, comfortable space to sit or lie down. Close your eyes and focus on your breath for 5-10 minutes. You can use guided meditation apps or simply observe your inhales and exhales. If your mind wanders, gently bring your focus back to your breath. (5-10 minutes) 
4. Journaling: Take a few minutes to write down your thoughts and feelings. 
5.  You can do a free-write or use prompts like:
6. What are three things I'm grateful for today?
7. What are my intentions for today?
8. What challenges am I facing, and how can I approach them with self-love? (5-10 minutes)
9. Exercise: Move your body to get your blood flowing and energize yourself. Choose an activity you enjoy, whether it's a brisk walk, yoga, stretching, or a quick workout.  (20-30 minutes) 
10. Nourishing Breakfast: Fuel your body with a healthy and delicious breakfast. Avoid sugary cereals or processed foods. Opt for whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. (20-30 minutes) 
11. Affirmations: Repeat positive affirmations to yourself to set a positive tone for the day. For example, "I am worthy," "I am capable," "I am loved." (5 minutes) 
12. Gratitude Practice: Take a moment to express gratitude for the good things in your life. This can be as simple as mentally acknowledging things you appreciate or writing a gratitude list. (5 minutes) 

Additional Tips:

• Personalize Your Routine: Choose activities that resonate with you and bring you joy. Experiment to find what works best.
• Start Small: If you're new to mindfulness, start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the time as you get comfortable.
• Be Consistent: Try to practice your Mindful Morning routine daily to reap the most benefits. 
• Be Kind to Yourself: Don't be hard on yourself if you miss a day or don't feel like doing a certain activity. Just pick up where you left off the next day.

By incorporating these practices into your morning routine, you can set a positive tone for the rest of your day. While this routine may seem time-consuming at first (1h to 1.5h), the long-term benefits are invaluable.
