Success often starts the night before—but the morning sets the tone. Here’s how high performers kickstart their days, and how you can too.
Wake Up Early (But Get Enough Sleep)
Aim for 6:00 AM if possible.
Prioritize 7–8 hours of consistent rest.
No Phone for 30 Minutes
Avoid dopamine overload from social feeds first thing in the morning.
Meditation or Deep Breathing (5–10 min)
Activates your parasympathetic nervous system—aka, your chill mode.
Try: Headspace or Insight Timer.
Read or Journal
Read 5–10 pages of non-fiction.
Journal 3 lines: What I’m grateful for, Today’s focus, Intentions.
Light Exercise or Walk
Even 10 minutes outdoors can boost energy and focus.
