3. Pray or meditate 

“Prayer is you speaking to God. Meditation is allowing the spirit to speak to you”- Deepak Chopra 

Praying and meditating both overlap in several terms and can be done combined but it totally depends upon how an individual wants to do it. Many people are unaware of the fact that praying is the part or phase of meditation. So, someone who prays a lot can be called a good meditator. 

Moving to the part of the implementation, you can simply do a 5 to 10  minutes meditation. While doing that let your thoughts roam around striking and knocking on each other’s door which ultimately brings you a sense of calmness.

4. Plan your day 

“Good Fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning”- Thomas Edison 

What if you don’t plan a trip and you are set to go? Would it be worth it? No, right! The same thing applies in the case of planning your day. It jumbles up. You won’t be able to complete even a single task properly. 

On that account, you need to plan your day and set priorities for the work that is important to you and to create balance in your life. Know the power of the scheduled day and experience the superpower it offers. Other advantages are:

• Increased Efficiency 
• Decreased Procrastination
• Peace of Mind 
• Reduction of Stress 
• Better Prioritization  

5. Make your bed 

“If you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished 

the first task of the day”- William H.McRaven

Making a bed seems a minimalistic approach to win a morning but 

it will give you a sense of pride and will encourage you to do more tasks. Plus, your room will look clean and tidy which will just take less than a minute. 

Apart from that if you face a miserable day, you will get encouragement thinking that today has been worse but tomorrow would be better.  So, why not do it. More benefits could be:

• Better productivity 
• Organized 
• Cleanliness 
• Relaxation 
• Improved Focus 

Ending Thoughts

Now it’s your turn to make things work and turn them into reality. Else, you can also customize your own kind of morning routine based on the above tips. Just stick to it and maintain consistency. 

Also, don’t make it complicated thinking that you have to start big. Start small and work your way up.
