Why You Need a Morning Ritual

By Genevieve Cunningham

The mornings are the hardest part of the day for many people. We don’t get enough sleep, and this makes the mornings even more difficult. We’re grumpy and irritated and not at all ready for the day ahead. And while many of us have simply accepted this morning fate, we don’t actually have to begin our day in this manner. It’s completely possible to feel good and energized in the mornings. How? You need a morning ritual. If you don’t already have one, take a look at why a morning ritual may be just what you need for a healthy start to the day.

It Helps You Wake Up

A morning ritual is a series of events that you do every single morning. You do them in the same order, in the same way, in the same timeframe. And while it doesn’t have to be exactly the same every day, it’s going to be extremely similar. Why does this matter? When you begin your ritual, you may still be tired and rundown. But as you complete each task in your ritual, you’ll begin to wake up little by little. When you’re completely finished, you’ll be awake, refreshed, and ready for the day ahead.

It Keeps Stress Lower

One of the best parts about a morning ritual is that it lowers stress. How? It ensures that certain things get done without you having to think about it. Maybe stretching is a part of your ritual. If so, you’ve knocked a little bit of movement out first thing in the morning. Maybe a certain breakfast is a part of your ritual. If that breakfast is a healthy one, you’ve started your metabolism off on the right foot without having to think about it. And participating in a ritual also makes it less likely that you’ll be running late. This combination of events makes it easier to get through your morning with less stress attached to your day.

It Helps the Morning Flow Smoothly

When you have a ritual, you already know what to do and expect every morning. This makes the morning run more smoothly, and a smooth morning helps set a good tone for the day. If your mornings are hectic, a ritual is probably just what you need to make it flow, keep it calm, and start your day well.

A morning ritual can be so beneficial to the rest of your day and to your overall health. If you don’t already have a ritual, experiment a little until you find what suits you best. Maintaining a healthy ritual is a great way to improve your morning, your health, and your life for good.
