How do you guys start your day? Do you have a ritual that helps you get up tackle the day get through work and daily task that you aren't excited about? I find if i get up late and rush my day always spins out of control from the laws of attraction and I am drawing more chaos to myself. However if I have time to enjoy coffee watch some short motivational vids like that one my mind is in a much better state and can handle whatever task heads my way.

Whats your morning or motivational routine?

[Guyv3r]

I get mine from Coffee.

[TheAbomb]

I get mine from Coffee.

Yea I am drinking some right now but If i just get coffee and don't spend some quiet time I feel like its coffee everywhere and my day spirals. So coffee is only part of the ritual.

[Moralgy]

A nice shower always gets my day started.

[GennGreymane]

Hot as fuck shower.

[Deleted]

For me, it starts the night before.
I write down everything I want/need to do the next day, in order of the hardest to the easiest task (eat the ugliest frog first).

I always wake up 2 hours before I have to leave the house, no matter the time.
30 mins for working out, 60 mins for breakfast and some reading, 30 mins for getting showering and getting dressed.

In the weekends I don't have to go anywhere and usually get up around 6:00 in the morning with the same routine.

What keeps me going is momentum. Once you have it, you keep going easily.

Some days i feel the same. I wish i could get up a little earlier to meditate but it seems i like to sleep until the last minute.

Either:

A) Phone alarm by bed, set to 7am, 730am then 8am. Then a hot shower. I find no matter what time I have to get up, I need to wake up a hour before hand, even if I go back to sleep

B) Phone alarm other side of the room set to the time I need to get up, on repeat and loud. Get up, turn it off, computer on, hot shower.

[Cosmic Janitor]

The secret is: I don't.

[The Whimsical Dwarf]

Pretty much this.

[Knslyr]

My day starts with some MSM and Omega-3 followed by Swedish crackers and an orange usually. Sometimes replacing the crackers and orange with processed sour milk with goji berries and cereal.
Then after that I take some multivitamins/minerals and vitamin D and head off to work where I take my first cup of coffee in the day.

Sometimes I shower on the morning as well, but usually do that before bed or after work.

[Danner]

An Alarm bell.
Loud and obnoxious.
In the other end of the room.

It's the only thing that works.

[Knslyr]

I always wake up 2 hours before I have to leave the house, no matter the time.
30 mins for working out, 60 mins for breakfast and some reading, 30 mins for getting showering and getting dressed.

Thats sounds like a really good morning routine. I really need to change my sleep schedule so I can wake up earlier and have more relaxed morning rather than stressing away to work. ^^

Whats your morning or motivational routine?

I set my alarm for a reasonably early time.
Alarm goes off.
Half asleep, I set my alarm to the latest possible moment I can without being late for work.
I go back to sleep.
Alarm goes off.
I look out the window to see which direction the wind is blowing.
It's always blowing the wrong way.
I pull myself up onto a sitting position on the edge of the bed, and sleepily rub my eyes.
I stand up and get dressed.
I unplug my phone from the charger.
I go downstairs.
I brush my teeth.
I pee.
I sit on the sofa.
I roll up a cigarette and smoke it whilst looking at Facebook on my phone.
I go to the workshop to retrieve my bike.
I leave to cycle the 8 miles to work with around 30 minutes left before my shift starts.


That's pretty much my morning. Every morning. Probably why I'm so fucking cheery.

[BreathTaker]

I Love my job (no shit, I do) and I hate traffic jams. So when i get up at 5.45 I'm like "move, you don't want to to drive like a pensioneer", and I hurry to get to my car, enjoy 20 minute ride on semi-empty roads with loud music and speeding, park at the semi-empty streets and start working in the empty office.
Ohh the morning productivity... What's done in the 7.00 - 9.00 interval is about as much what's done in the rest of the day

Usually, my husband was my motivation to get up in the morning. He wakes up early with the Army, so I'd always get up to make him breakfast and coffee. Now that he's in Korea, I just get up with the kids to get them ready for school, which I also did before, but it's much later than what I'm used to.

You're husband probably has another thing to motivate you in the morning

Yea I usually use that time to think about what I want to do with the day and also I get clean.

I completely agree with this!! I need about 2 hours before I start the day. It's worth it to yourself to eat breakfast, coffee and read and make a list of things you need to accomplish.

Drown an infant and have some weetabix. What else?
