5 Habits to Add to Your Morning Work from home Routine
Prayer/Meditation - Give thanks for the new day and another opportunity to live your purpose and set your intentions for the day.
Take a cold shower - Ok I know this may sound a little extra, but taking a cold shower in the morning has been known to increase alertness, improve your immune system, ease stress and relieve depression.
Make the Bed/Tidy Up - Making your bed in the mornings and addressing other small tasks like taking out the trash or straightening up your work area can give you a small sense of accomplishment early in the day and also take some stress out your end of day routine. The good thing is, all of these things can be taken care of in 30 min or less.
Have some coffee and/or Tea - Whether it’s coffee, tea, a smoothie, or fruit infused water, an energy boosting morning beverage will make you feel ready to take on the day! I myself have become quite the espresso connoisseur since purchasing my Nespresso Vertuo Machine, back in May.
Make a Daily To-Do list - Having a visual of what you need to get done in a day helps you stay on track and gives you a sense of accomplishment as you check each task off of your list.
