Spending time each morning in meditation and practicing daily gratification mantras provides a positive start to my daily routine. My routine flows along, changing ever so slightly one day to the next, encompassing personal hygiene of showering, make up application, styling my hair and selecting my clothing for the day.
Next is one of my personal favorite routines… and I never miss this one. I take time every day, without exception, to make my bed. Yes, even if I stay in a hotel, am a guest in someone else’s home, or am camping. Always. The mere practice of doing this gives me such pleasure, pride and accomplishment and it moves me into whatever else I am facing on any particular day.
Drinking a large glass of water, and making my breakfast and coffee or tea is next. I take special care in making sure that my breakfast is a nutritious one. I have personal favorites, which I will share on this site, which get me through week to week.
Having and keeping a routine is good for me. My happiness is maintained knowing that, although there are things outside of my control, these things I can and do control and I enjoy them very much.
With routine comes pride and sense of accomplishment, followed by calmness, serenity and yes, happiness.
I believe that by choosing and following a routine that works best for your life, you will feel great! A consistent morning routine helps ensure a great start to your days too, and we all deserve that.
Happiness to you!
I’m a proud mom, a friend to many, and have a profound belief in human kindness.
My goal to live a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life includes my love to write about things that resonate with me. My gift to you is sharing my perspective on living a happy life.
