The morning routine for success
We often do not think much of our morning routine - the goal is to leave the house on time. Our mornings are frequently executed on an autopilot as we madly rush through the door to school and work.
The autopilot routines might work as well as nothing goes wrong, but what if you burn a toast in the morning, or someone cuts you off on the road? These little things can bug you and even spoil your whole day.

Over the last several months I had been actively redesigning my morning routine. Although there is still work to be done on my part, I am going to share what made a big difference for me and how you can implement it.
R is for Reading
Letter R stands for - morning reading. It does not involve reading a newspaper, work or personal emails, or Facebook updates. The goal is to read a quote, a paragraph, or a short chapter of something that will inspire you or provide motivation for the whole day. Right now I am reading sections of the "The Little Book of Inner Peace" by Ashley Davis Bush as I sip on my first glass of water for the day.
My personal experience so far is great, it helps me have a great day every day. If something bad happens I feel more capable to shake it off fast and move on enjoying the rest of the day.
