Powerful is Your Morning Regimen

It's early. You're already thinking about tasks you'd rather avoid. Mornings can make or break your day. This post focuses on fostering mental health. Here are solid suggestions to create a healthier day.

Staying in bed feels comfortable. It’s easy to press snooze. You might hesitate to hit that button again. You have things on your list that make you uneasy. You snooze one more time. After an hour of snoozing, you finally roll out of bed. Maybe you grunt at yourself or the person who got you up. Now, you’re rushing through your morning.

Your Morning Routine Matters

Creating a morning routine sets a positive tone for your day. It may be tough to form new habits. Do it anyway. Watch how it helps design a smoother day.

A.M. Training

For the past fifteen years, I’ve called this part of my morning: A.M. Training. Here are suggestions to include in your routine:

1. Grab your Bible. Lay on the floor. Stretch.

2. While on the floor, pray. Open The Word. Spend time with God.

3. Do 25 sit-ups and 25 push-ups.

4. Listen to 15 minutes of healthy audio while making your bed and getting dressed.

5. Drink 24 ounces of water.

6. Read two or more pages of a good book.

7. Take 100 breaths outside. (My 100 breaths equals 10 minutes.)

8. Call or text two people you care about. Say something kind without expecting anything in return.

   
   

Benefits of A.M. Training

This regimen isn’t about doing more in the morning. It’s about focusing. It helps decrease stress. It leads to a productive day.

The benefits of your A.M. Training could help create a healthier version of you.

Take Action

Do what's hard. Grab a pen and paper. Create your A.M. Training. Follow through. Your mental health matters.

Conclusion

Mornings can be challenging. But with a structured routine, you can transform them. Focus on your A.M. Training. Embrace the change. A healthier day awaits.

Remember, your mental health is crucial. Prioritize it. Make your mornings count.
