Do you think it is in the middle of the day? Or before you go to bed?None of the above.evalIn fact, you probably have guessed it yourself due to the title of this post. The time you are closest to your subconscious is when you first wake up Feeling cloudy and slow every morning until you get out of the house? Starting up a good morning workout and stretching routine will help with that.Not only will it wake you up from a sleepy state, it will set you up to be laser focused for the next activity you take on. Since most of us go to work or school every morning, doing this before heading out will ensure you are in the right state Who else is up at 6, 5, or even 4 AM? As you wake up earlier, you will notice there will be much less distractions around you. This allows you to get the best personal quiet time which allows you to focus on all of the other habits on this list.To make the transition, I recommend waking up 15 minutes earlier than you typically do now, stay at that level for a week, then repeat. Do this until you achieve the perfect waking time for you.Oh, also.. Keep your sleep schedule steady. No matter if it’s Wednesday or Sunday, try going to sleep and waking up at the same time. Otherwise, your body will be confused, making it harder for you to wake up when Monday rolls around. Plus, your body hates you when you play games with it, knock that off!3. Eat the darn frog!If you haven’t heard this term before, it basically means get the hardest thing done first.evalWhatever you dread to do, don’t put it off. Instead, get it off the list first thing in your day and the rest of the day will not only seem easier, but it will also go a lot more productively 5. Fuel that motivationMotivation runs out just as fuel does in a gas tank. You need to continuously add to it, otherwise you will wake up clueless and without vision. And no, I don’t m ean literal vision smarty.Of course, you can only fill the tank up so much until it will begin to overflow. So get some, but not too much. Find what motivates you and do it every morning. Me personally, I like visualization I strongly recommend picking up an app like Headspace especially for any beginners out there.It is an easy, fun, and legitimate way to dive head first into some meditation. It offers both free and paid versions, both of which are great.Meditating in the morning with this app 9. Read a book (or 5)I find enjoyment in reading during the morning for two reasons:1: It helps me retain the information better. How you ask? Don’t you listen?! It’s because we are closer to our subconscious. On top of that, reading a factual book in the morning allows you to ponder and implement it throughout your day instead of reading and forgetting.2: There are far less distractions. And no, I don’t just mean people but also the mind. By the end of the day, our thoughts are running a mile a minute. In the morning, we are much more clear and able to focus on a boring white piece of paper for much longer than at night.Remember: Don’t be a read and forgetter, read in the morning and implement it into your day!10. Be gratefulThere are endless things to be grateful for, one of them being that you made it to today still alive. Another being that you have the whole rest of your day to work on your goals that you (hopefully) wrote down earlier.Being grateful and expressing it can take time to be intrinsic with, but work on it. If you don’t show any signs of it now, work on it. It will keep you in check with what you do during your day and that never hurts.ConclusionRemember the whole thing about being close to your subconscious in the morning? Don’t forget about that! It is what will keep you enticed to partake in all of the above habits throughout your morning. It surely (for me at least) gives you that extra added benefit of knowing that a morning routine is going to set up your day for greatest possible success and productivity.Before you go though, I want to ask one question of you:What new habits will you be taking from this list with you tomorrow morning?
