Morning is the most precious time of the day since it allows you to plan your day before the world fills it with noise. Building a routine helps your morning become efficient, calm and energizes your day as a woman. Below are daily routines that successful women around the world follow.
- Praying
Starting with a word to the Almighty not only makes you feel protected throughout the day but also makes you feel loved and cared for. It does not matter your religion, start by thanking the Almighty for the night and ask for blessings in the day ahead.
Saying affirmations
Your mind has two parts: a conscious and subconscious mind. The subconscious mind picks what you expressly say in the conscious realm and gives it the power of realizing it. Affirmations create an environment of success in your mind and attract positive energy to make the day as you wish it to be.
- Meditation
Meditation helps put your mind together into the present. It also helps you reflect on who you are and your capabilities. Putting your mind to the present helps fight a myriad of depressing thoughts, anxiety and helps you stay alert all day.
- Drinking water
Your body is made of 75% water. You must keep the body hydrated all day by drinking at least two glasses of water. Water keeps your skin supple, cleanses your colon, and resets the electrolyte balance in your body. It leaves you feeling full and in a good mood to start your day.
- Exercise
Short exercises at the start of the day help keep your mind alert as it improves the blood circulation to the brain. Exercise also helps you eliminate sluggishness and sleepy feeling before starting your day. It is also a good way to hit your fitness goals before the day starts.
- Plan the day
There is never time to complete all the tasks for the day. Without a vision, a place to brain dump, a to-do list prepared and more, there is the likelihood that you are going to omit important tasks of the day or fail to hit your personal or professional deadlines. A plan helps you stay organized and efficient. I have created the perfect planner that will meet this need; The CUE the Queen: 90 Days of Confidence Planner provides the opportunity for you meet your goals and obtain success at any start date in the future.

- Eat a healthy breakfast
Breakfast gives you the energy to get you started for the day. Eating a healthy breakfast fights the midmorning hunger pangs and helps you check on your physical fitness goals. Some of the recommended energy foods for the morning include flax seeds, oatmeal, almond milk, dried fruit and a cup of milk.
Have a healthy morning. Won’t you?
Great List! Affirmations are so important and have made my days better. Also planning! I’m still trying to drink water..it’s an ongoing battle.
You can do it, Ashlee!
This is so on point. The way that you start your day is so important. I had so much energy when I would start out with a morning workout. I have to get back to that. Great post.
Thank you, Antoinette! Here’s to a successful year for you!
These are all great tips! It is hard for me to drink water in the winter time. I grabbed a bottle just now.
LOL! Proud of you, Queen Tanya! 🙂
I don’t meditate and barely exercise, but yes to water, breakfast and prayer. lol These are definitely great tips.
Doing 3 of these steps is still a great start, Joanna! Keep your momentum!
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, so i usually have breakfast and I’m beginning to pray more. I would love to start incorporating more exercise
You’ve got this, Tiffany!
This is a great way to start the day!!! My husband and I usually start the day off praying together and usually after he leaves for work I pray by myself and over the children again then I start my day!
Family prayer works, Carissa! This is great!
I actually do most of these except the water. I wake up and go straight to the coffee machine..lol. I wake up at 6 and workout around 1030, cause later just don’t work.
I understand what you mean about coffee!!
These are good tips. I recently turned 25 and have started focusing on taking care of myself holistically. I’m going to take special care to do as many of these tasks daily as I can.
Awesome, Charisse!
I love to drink water. That’s something I have to have daily. I don’t even know how people can go without it. I need to pick up on exercising, and planning my days. I suck at that.
You can do it, Kim! Be encouraged!
LaQuisha, I agree with having a routine in the mornings to start your day. I practice the majority of these daily, I’m working on being more intentional and consistent with them all. Thanks for sharing!
Anytime, Daria! You’ve got this, queen!
These are all great tips for starting your day on the right foot. I’m a firm believer in eating breakfast. So many people skip it.
Yes, Stacie! It’s that early morning rush! Adding breakfast will help us not to crash!
Great post. I’ve recently added meditation to my mornings and I do believe it is making a world of difference.
That’s awesome, Donna!! Thanks for sharing!
I slack off on the exercise sometimes but l definitely believe in drinking lots of water in the morning and during the day. I also find that it helps center me when l take a minute before getting out of bed to reflect. As for the good breakfast, l mostly do oatmeal or grain cereal :-). This is a nice list.
Yes, drinking water in the morning is a good practice too! Sounds like you start your days well!
