By 10 a.m your day is in full swing. You’re running around, conquering that to-do list and “busy” is pretty much the only word to describe your schedule. But every boss girl knows that a morning routine is crucial to making sure you have a productive day. Whether you’re looking to perfect your routine or learn some new tips for clearing out any negativity and kickstarting your day, here’s what all the boss girls are doing.
1. She stays away from social media. It can be so easy to roll over in the morning, turn off your alarm and immediately open up Facebook – but don’t. Opening up social media apps will only take your focus away from what’s really important and leave you distracted by thinking about what’s going on in other people’s lives, instead of honing in on your own. Just skip it.
2. She keeps herself hydrated. All boss girls know how important it is to get hydrated first thing in the morning. Keep a glass or bottle of water beside your bed and chug it right after that alarm goes off before you do anything else. Harvard Medical School instructs: “drinking fluids is crucial to staying healthy and maintaining the function of every system in your body, including your heart, brain, and muscles.” You can’t be your best self without it.
3. She plans her day. Every boss girl knows that you must always have a plan. Running throughout your day flying by the seat of your pants is no way to do your job or run a business. Start each day with intention and bullet point what you know you need to accomplish. Having it written out makes it tangible and there is something so gratifying about crossing tasks off as you finish them.
4. She gives herself a pep talk. The only person you need to believe in what you’re doing is you, so starting your day with a quick pep talk will help you start your day knowing exactly why you’re putting your efforts where you are. No pom-poms needed.
5. She stays informed. Boss girls stay off social media first thing in the morning, but they most certainly stay up to date with what’s happening in the world. If you don’t have time, do a quick skim about what’s happening in your industry and nationally, but make sure that you’re informed and never miss a beat.
6. She gets moving. Not only does exercise keep you healthy and in shape, but it’s an instant mood booster and increases your energy. You don’t need to get to a fitness class or hit the gym every single morning, but making time in your routine to take a short walk or even do 15 minutes of yoga helps to center you and makes all the difference in your day.
7. She does something to make her happy. Whether it’s something as simple as trying a new drink from Starbucks, meditating or even buying a pair of killer shoes you’ve been lusting over online – get up and do something . Anything that makes you smile so that your day starts with putting positive energy out into the world. Putting happiness out means that you
