Want to be more productive? Try this.

Does it really matter if you just roll out of bed, scramble as fast as you can to find something to wear in an organized pile of unfolded laundry, make a coffee to go, feed the dog, and run out the door?

YES!

If you begin your day stressed, unfocused and rushed your day will feel stressed, unfocused, and rushed.  If you start it intentionally, however, you set yourself up to feel focused, centered, and energized throughout your day.

Maybe you've already heard that many successful people say that waking up early and having a consistent morning routine is part of their success. 

That is because the morning is when you set the tone for the rest of the day.

When you begin your day with an intentional practice (whether it be meditation, yoga, journaling, art, or being in nature):

• you are more likely to make healthy eating choices throughout the day
• you cultivate the needed energy and focus to knock difficult tasks out first
• you make your self-development and your self-care a priority (before kids, work, and other commitments)
• you prime your body and mind to focus, prioritize, and be present wherever you are and with whomever you are with.

Remember this, the quality of your mornings is reflected in the outcomes of your entire day.

That means that whatever you do in the morning will affect everything you do the rest of the day.

So, if you want to feel more productive, energized, and present then up level your morning routine to include a self-care practice.  

You don't need much time for this....5 minutes is enough to make a significant impact on your day.
