You listen to your favorite podcast.
Your positive mindset in the morning will determine how your day will become. Good days equals a good mindset.
Waking up negative is the biggest mistake you can make in the morning. Why are you wasting your precious time being negative in the morning when you can start your day with a calm state of mind? This won’t hurt to try.
As a happy person, you spend your morning doing everything that puts you in a great mood. Your morning is the most important time of your day.
You oftentimes have a great day and accomplish your goals better because of the healthy morning routines. You practice many rituals to improve the rest of your day. Healthy rituals are self-therapeutic.
You’re truly on the right path in life if you are applying these effective five habits.
You do everything in slow motion.
You don’t wake up and do everything quickly. Stressful people do this. You make sure to wake up earlier in the morning so you can do simple chores which gives you more free time.
It means you take time to enjoy what you’re doing and not take it for granted. It’s important to not look at the time once you’re applying this habit.
I’m not talking about thinking slow. I’m talking about doing your chores/work without hurrying up. There is beauty in doing everything slowly in a calm manner.
The main reason why you hurry up is you want to get it done quickly as possible. This won’t teach you about being patient and enjoying the moment.
Doing everything slowly allows you to focus on what you’re doing without being stressed about it. It‘s a challenging task to apply first but you will find yourself being less stressed when you’re enjoying the process of it, no matter what it is you’re doing.
Once you apply this routine in the morning, it will make you enjoy the moment with ease. You will go on the path of least resistance.
Affirm:
“I’m only human. I will not put unnecessary pressure on myself.”
You affirm positivity into your mind.
What you think in the morning will determine how the rest of your day will become. Be aware of the first thought in the morning.
There is no such thing as “How do I affirm?” because you’re always affirming. You’re always thinking, you’re just unconscious about it.
“You are already that which you want to be, and your refusal to believe it is the only reason you do not see it.” ~ Neville Goddard.
Don’t affirm in past or future sentences. You’re only reminding your subconscious mind how you don’t have what you desire. Affirm in the present tense. Act as if you already have it and have fun with your imagination.
The best time to affirm is when you wake up and before you fall asleep because your subconscious mind is more open to receiving messages at those times.
Affirm:
“Everything in my life is perfect.”
You don’t check your phone in the morning.
If you wake up watching the news and social media, you’re filling your mind with insecurity, fear and always reminded how the world is cruel. You will compare your life to other people on social media.
Once you check people’s lives, you will be stuck in the same circle that‘s difficult to get out of. You are giving strangers the power by consuming the negativity from social media and the news.
You always have the time to check on your social media later during the day to get inspiration from people but don’t prioritize it in the morning. The attention should be on your current life, not on your smartphone.
Avoid things that put you in a negative state of mind when you wake up. Jay Shetty suggested to not look at your phone the first thing in the morning.
Affirm: “I am mentally strong enough to let go of my addictions that do not serve me any positivity. “
You apply the cold therapy routine.
You feel mentally refreshed and physically energized after taking a cold shower in the morning. It’s been known to decrease depression and enhance mental clarity. Your skin starts clearing up and your sleep improves drastically.
After taking a cold shower for at least thirty seconds helps to improve your skin and nails. You feel more alive and your focus has increased. It supports longevity and natural immunity. You sleep better.
Cold therapy is not a new method. It used to be one of the oldest treatments. The Edwin Smith Papyrus was the most ancient medical text known today. It goes back to 3500 B.C. where the text mentioned numerous times the use of cold as therapy.
It’s an amazing option to improve your mental and physical health. It’s a free investment in your health. When you’re healthy, you’re happy. When you’re happy, you’re healing.
Affirm:
“Each part of my body moves freely after exposing myself to the cold”
You listen to your favorite podcast.
Happy people want to fill their minds with inspiration. The great thing about podcasts is you can pick any topic you want. There is a podcast niche for everyone. My favorite podcasts consist of personal growth.
It feels like you’re having a conversation with someone and you’re always being inspired while eating your favorite breakfast with a cup of coffee. You learn while you’re walking around your home.
The great thing is podcast is free to invest your time in. You allow yourself to apply new insights in your life from hearing other people’s perspectives on a variety of topics.
The great thing is you can do other things while listening to it. You’re being inspired and informed while multitasking. If you’re someone who wants to live a happier life, find the podcast that provides you with the information you’re looking for.

The final thought
If your main goal is to be happy in the morning, allow yourself to apply the routines and stick with them. Applying new habits will advance your life for the better.
The start of your day should be enjoyable. Ask yourself to calm down and understand how the morning is the most important routine of the day as it determines how you will feel the rest of the day. Be fully aware of your own thoughts during the day.
