10 daily morning habits worth adopting

What you do every day matters more than what you do occasionally or just every now and then.

Indeed, our health journey is a marathon not a sprint. For me, I focus on it daily by doing the items I’ve listed below. And, when I don’t I feel off and unbalanced. Sure, I also sprinkle in many other efforts each week, and — probably like you — I’m far from perfect when it comes to healthy living. But, I’ve found that you must attack it, and focus on it every day to win.

1. Give thanks the moment you wake up.
2. Make your bed. I always make our bed. It must be done.
3. Read positive, encouraging words before you read anything else. For me, I have several books that I read from, including Dr. Peale’s “Positive Thinking Every Day,” that I’ve read from daily for more than 25 years.
4. Do push ups and stretch. I don’t have a specific number or time, but I do both every morning.
5. Walk/run. Again, no daily goal here. Some mornings it’s three miles others it’s three blocks. No matter what, it gets done.
6. Drink warm, lemon water with a splash of turmeric. You have to squeeze the lemon yourself, but this potion when you add pepper to aid the absorption of the turmeric seems to work. And, drink it before you drink anything else. Good and good for you!
