Monday Motivation: A Morning Routine Full of Success<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Skip the snooze button \u2013 as tough as that is!<\/li>\n
  2. Get up early, maybe even before the sun.<\/li>\n
  3. Pray or meditate. Make sure to make time for a quiet minute.<\/li>\n
  4. Eat a healthy and well-rounded breakfast \u2013 try eggs or some other protein rather than an on-the-go item.<\/li>\n
  5. Get some exercise.<\/li>\n
  6. Leave the house picked up and neat for when you get home \u2013 that means, make your bed!<\/li>\n
  7. Spend some time making a list of three priorities for the day. Go in prepared to accomplish those three things.<\/li>\n
  8. Catch up on the news of the day.<\/li>\n
  9. Prep things like the coffee pot and school lunches the night before.<\/li>\n
  10. Similarly, pick out your own outfit and your kiddos outfits before bed.<\/li>\n
  11. Try spending some time walking the dog. He (or she) will really appreciate it and you\u2019ll feel great too.<\/li>\n
  12. Drink a huge glass of water \u2013 starting the day hydrated will help set that tone for the entire day.<\/li>\n
  13. Skip the smartphone and instead spend some time self-reflecting or stretching.<\/li>\n
  14. Go for a bike ride or just spend 15-20 minutes outside.<\/li>\n
  15. Water your garden while you drink your coffee.<\/li>\n
  16. Make a mindful effort at having a great attitude toward the day. In other words \u2013 don\u2019t be grumpy! Be thankful for all you have and this beautiful life we live.<\/li>\n
  17. Help your children and family members embrace that same attitude.<\/li>\n
  18. Get excited for what\u2019s to come.<\/li>\n
  19. Listen to the news on the radio rather than scanning your smart phone.<\/li>\n
  20. Take a timeout from social media \u2013 wait until later in the day to jump in there.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Everyone\u2019s morning routine is a little different depending on your circumstances, but can you take a few ideas from this list to adjust things just a bit? I know I can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
