Did you know that your morning routine can set your mindset up for the whole day? Do you currently have a morning mental routine? We have much more control of our mental health than we often believe.

Here are a few suggestions to start your morning off well for your mental health:

-Drink water with Celtic or Himalayan salt

- Get moving physically- stretch, walk, whatever is your favorite!

- Look in the mirror and tell yourself “I love you and I’m grateful for you”

- Eat protein for breakfast

- Write down your gratitude list and FEEL it in your heart

- Prayer/Meditation/Scripture/Connect with God

- Mentally rehearse how GOOD your day is going to be

- Review, say, and FEEL your vision board, dreams, and affirmations

- Read for a few minutes on an inspirational or self-improvement book

- Journal any thoughts, prayers, quotes, notes, or ideas

- Review your schedule and day; make any lists (can do this the night before if it’s more helpful)

- Listen to great, uplifting podcasts while driving to work

Powerful morning routines don’t have to be complicated; pick 1-3 items that work for you! Maybe you listen to a motivating podcast during your walk or review your gratitude while you eat breakfast. The key is to be consistent and make it a priority. Resist listening to the negative news or lower energy information first thing in the morning. It will make a difference!
