What’s crazy about life is that none of it happens according to plan, if not for the morning routine you put together. It gives you a pattern from when you wake up until when you go back to bed, and it also allows you to do things that many other people can’t do. Your morning routine is a ‘reset’ button you can look forward to every day. But more than that, it helps you realize that you are achieving your goals every single day that you complete your routine.

Why you need a morning routine

When you have a morning routine, it shapes who you are physically, emotionally, and mentally. This way, when things don’t go the way they should, you will remain in control of your emotions. This can only be so because your morning routine is your foundation, your grounding, or your footing. 

The importance of the phrase “in the beginning” is so vital that it is mentioned up to 107 times in the Bible. The beginning of something is a vital part of its essence. “Beginning” is the point in time or space at which something starts. WHERE you start, WHEN you start, and WHY you start is incredibly important. But “where,” “when,” and “why” are not as important as HOW you start. “How” you start is crucial to all success at every level. 

In the olden days, when humans didn’t have electricity, sunrise marked the beginning and sundown meant you were done. Sunrise depicted survival. People celebrated the sunrise because they had worked hard to thrive and get the work done. So when the sun shines, it’s a new day. 

However, now that electricity exists, it’s hard for people to acknowledge the importance of the sunrise. There is no stillness, no stopping, and no celebration of the sunrise because we never turn it off. So you need to have a still moment to have a morning routine. You need to go to sleep to wake up.

Takeaway: You need a morning routine

Morning routine shapes the foundation of who you are, it protects you, forms you, and disciplines you, but first, you need to go to bed. Make your morning routine a priority above all else because how you start your day changes the entire YOU! 

Here are some key takeaways:

• The beginning of your day is about where, when, why, and how you start. 
• Nothing can begin in your day until you awaken.
• What makes the difference between you and everyone else is your morning routine.
• Your morning routine influences who you are for the remainder of the day.
• Remember to incorporate some quiet time into your morning routine.
