There are several mindfulness practices you can incorporate into your morning routine to have an amazing day.  

Give yourself a high five.  It's been scientifically proven.  The physical action boosts encouragement, motivation and enthusiasm.  AKA an instant mood boost.   Don't take my word for it make it part of your morning when you wash your face or brush your teeth.  Make sure not to slam the mirror too hard ;). 

By focusing on the positive aspects of your life, you'll start your amazing day with a more positive mindset.

Breathing meditation is an effective technique you can use to start your amazing day. This involves focusing on your breath.  Take a big deep inhale and pause then exhale with a sigh or a yawn.  Do this a few times it's calming and energising. As you are bring all that revitalising oxygen into the body and breathing out all the sleepy breath.   Try this breath exercise. For an AMAZING DAY

If it's worth getting up for it's worth getting dressed for.  Make the occasion with what you wear.

Movement and sunshine.  So many ways to get this for your amazing day.  It's a go to for me and it's always fun to switch it up.  Stand by your window and have a big stretch.  Put on a tune and dance. Walk part of your commute.  These things take minutes and make a huge difference.

Whats your favourite drink?  A tea, coffee juice?   When you make it and drink it savour every moment.  The ritual of making or buying the the drink.  Where did it come from, who made it?   The taste, temperature, the texture.  How does it make you feel?  What do you love about it?
