How to Create a Good Morning Routine for Daily Success

Learn how to create a healthy and effective morning routine in 4 simple steps to save time and energy and prepare your day for success

A Healthy Morning Routine Leads to Positive and Successful Days

Creating a good morning routine by eliminating unnecessary decisions not only saves you time and energy but also inevitably makes you more efficient throughout the day. Many successful people, even the most well-known and established, rely on their morning routine to ensure their days are productive and efficient.

The way you start your day sets the tone for everything you do until the evening. For this reason, our team at Beetroot believes that starting your day with a healthy morning routine is the key to daily success.

Here’s how to have a good morning routine in 4 steps to prepare your day for success:

1. Wake up early.

   Most successful people identify as early risers because waking up early not only makes the day longer but also allows you to tackle your schedule calmly and without rush. For example, Apple CEO Tim Cook wakes up at 3:45 a.m. to check emails before his 5 a.m. workout. Virgin Group founder and chairman Richard Branson gets up around 5 a.m. to exercise and spend some time with his family.

2. Create a positive and repeatable ritual.

   Whether it’s hugging your partner, playing music, drinking coffee, making your bed, or reading the newspaper, make whatever you enjoy doing in the morning a ritual that marks the start of your day. Many successful people have their own morning ritual. For instance, Marie Kondo, author of *The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up*, writes on her blog, "When I get up, I open all the windows to let in fresh air and then burn incense. I strive to keep my home comfortable and full of clean energy throughout the day, so starting my morning with these rituals keeps me on track."

3. Clear your mind.

   There are many reasons to include activities in the early morning that allow you to arrive at work with a light mind. Meditation helps control anxiety and stress and improves awareness and concentration.

4. Exercise.

   People who exercise daily have more energy and a positive outlook. Exercising in the morning gives you the clarity and focus needed to lighten your stress load. Exercise stimulates the release of neurotransmitters and endorphins that promote mental clarity and better attention, says exercise psychologist Jasmin Theard. "You’ll feel accomplished as well as rejuvenated and recharged." Mellody Hobson, president of Ariel Investments, incorporates all kinds of movement into her mornings. Her workout routine includes running, weightlifting, swimming, or cycling on alternate days, always followed by a relaxing bath.
