How to set up your mornings for a successful day 🌄

That is not exactly the improved lifestyle (yes, it starts with the morning!) I aim for. My brain could not take it.

I was getting out of bed with a mild sense of helplessness for what the day had in store.

Motivation on the drop, and grumpy mood on the rise. 

Furthermore, I was not able to sustain attention for short period of time (read: 10min). I would catch myself opening Social Media and scrolling in auto-pilot throughout the day…without even paying attention to the content!
I was simply creating space for my mind to wander. A mind-wandering cry for help.

Listening to one of my favourite sources of inspiration for a better lifestyle (#timferris podcast), I stole the idea of reading small bits of philosophy.
Never been much into philosophy, yet my partner happened to have exact the right tool: a collection of stoic’s quotes divided by the 366 days of a year (#ryanholiday “The Daily Stoic”).

The quote and its brief explanation, set just the right tone to make me wonder whether I agree with that view or not.

If I don’t agree, then I ask myself: “Why is it so?”

And explore my thinking further.

Doing it first thing in the morning, leaves an imprint: I come back to the daily topic at different stages through the day (especially before going back to bed in the evening).

So, this is my work-in-progress contender for notifications.

I’d be keen to know your morning routines and what activities you believe are most empowering! How do you set up your day for success?!
