I know we are all super busy each day, but if we get up a little bit earlier each morning and start the day using one or all of these six daily morning rituals, your day will be filled with joy and happiness. It works for me.
Do you often find yourself in a funk? Or are you just looking for a few easy ways to boost your joy and happiness? Below are six daily rituals which can help change your mood for the better when you incorporate them into your daily life.
6 Daily Morning Rituals To Start Your Day With Joy And Happiness
Meditation
The benefits of meditation are simply endless. No matter how you are able to incorporate it in your life, whether it’s once a day for only a few minutes or twice a day for an hour, meditation is sure to change your outlook on life. Not only that, but according to Healthline, meditation can help you to be physically healthier as well, as it lowers stress, blood pressure, and your chances of a heart attack. So do your best to incorporate this specific ritual into your day as frequently as possible.
Exercise
It’s no secret that when you feel better physically, that your mind will follow. This is why you should try your best to work some form of exercise into your daily life. It doesn’t always have to be strenuous, as even some chores like vacuuming can get your heart racing enough to count as exercise. If you aren’t sure what to do, you can run, bike, go to the gym, or even walk around the block after dinner. Just try to get at least thirty minutes of time each day where your heart rate is elevated.
Practice Gratitude
Often when you feel negative feelings, it’s because you have forgotten to practice gratefulness. After all, how many times have you sat back on your heels and simply looked at all the things you have? Probably not nearly enough.
The best way to work gratitude into your daily ritual is by journaling each day about the things you are thankful for. Or if writing isn’t your strong point, you could also just make a list. Chances are you’ll be truly surprised by all the amazing things and people you have in your life.
Take Breaks
Many people overload themselves with their pursuit of happiness. And this is unfortunate because life is about the journey and not always just where you are headed. This is why it is important that you take breaks to enjoy yourself.
And you should do this on a daily basis, maybe even multiple times per day. Whatever you are doing, just take a moment to sit and relax, or maybe even use the time to engage in a hobby that you enjoy doing. You’ll find you’re much happier when you aren’t always on the go and forgetting to take care of yourself.
Spend More Time With People
In this day and age, it’s not unlikely that you spend most of your day in front of a screen regardless of your profession. But this has led people to forget what truly matters in life, and that’s the amazing people in their lives.
Instead of spending all evening on your phone or watching TV, resolve to put down the device and spend quality time with those you love. If technology is too tempting for you, consider taking a walk with your significant other and leaving the device behind.
Reading The Bible
If you’re a Christian, then reading the Bible and Praying should already be a daily thing for you. Over the past year, I started doing just that. Reading the Bible wasn’t something I’ve ever done in the past, just when I went to church.
Praying
This past year I started a list of people to pray for, and I pray for them. I pray for help through the day, projects that I’m working on in my business. That’s what started me on a whole new carrier path, one with God in my life.
I have to tell you it was the very best thing I’ve ever done. Many of my prayers were answered. I’ve read half of the Bible so far. My business is doing fantastic, and I’m feeling blessed that I tried again, only this time with God.
What Is A Simple Morning Ritual?
It’s just setting aside a special time in the morning for yourself. A time to reflect and be grateful for the things you have, the air you are breathing, the water that is freely given to us, the sun that shines down on us. Start a journal and write down these glorious things and be thankful for them.
Overall, if you’re looking for some easy ways to incorporate more joy and happiness into your life, you should definitely start with the items on this list. But don’t forget that happiness is a choice and that no one else is responsible for your happiness. So, to boost yours, it’s time to take control of your life and start doing the things which make you happy today.
I hope these 6 daily morning rituals have given you some ideas on how you can start your day filled with joy and happiness.
