- How to keep my morning routine going
Start small: Take it gradually, with an accumulation of daily small tasks. Keep records of your steps and make revisions as needed for it to become a realistic motivating routine.
- What are some simple things I can do in my morning routine?
You may want to add stretching, journaling, drinking water, planning your day, or a short meditation session. These activities can help you start the day focused and energized.

Your morning routine doesn’t need to be long. It can range from 15 minutes to an hour depending on your schedule. Start small and adjust as you see fit.
- How do I maintain motivation to adhere to my morning routine?
Make sure your routine is enjoyable and has meaning. Be mindful of the benefits you’re seeing, and don’t be too hard on yourself if you miss a day sometimes. You might find it motivating to track your progress or even set rewards for achieving milestones.

Absolutely! Adding exercise or meditation can also help you be physically and mentally better, making the morning routine all the more meaningful. Just don’t forget to start with something manageable.
- What do I do if I feel like not doing my routine on certain days?
There will be those days when you simply don’t want to bother sticking to your routine. On these days, look to do something at least little enough to carry the habit on into the following day and set yourself back into action.
- How should I modify my routine if I change my schedule?
Adaptability is important. If your schedule changes, modify your routine to fit the new demands. Keep it simple and flexible so you can maintain the routine even during busy times.
