Morning Rituals & dressing for joy

I want to talk about morning routine. 
Do you have a morning routine?
What do you absolutely need like a coffee or to start the day off right.   
Where in the routine does dressing fit? 
So for years now, I've had a morning routine I'm quite an early riser and I love, regardless of time zone, the 'peace' of the morning.  Giving myself that space in the day before I see anyone to check my head. Research tells us the mindset we set up on waking takes us through the day. 
So, probably in the scheme of things, I wouldn't say dressings number one on my list but it key to reflecting or enhancing my mindset for the day.
My morning routine which I can share with you which has evolved over the years and it is not exactly the same every day.   I kind of go with what I need. So away wake up to check my head and do a mental body scan.  From there I will meditate.  Which is different every day, sometimes it's 10 minutes sometimes it can be longer. Sometimes I use some breath work or movement, and come to stillness.   Guided meditations if I feel like it.  It's the ideal time to tune into me.    Give some clarity, focus, think about what I need. What I want to achieve in the day, what I want  from the day. 
Intention setting.   
From there, its movement, yoga, running, mixing it up.
One of my favourite ways to move it having a dance.  I have rediscovered so many songs and memories.  Current fav.....

I don't feel 'right' without a hot lemon drink.  Followed by coffee and breakfast.
Timing on these is all down today of the week and where  I am in the world.  

Then it's showtime.

The final touch of getting dressed and ready to go. Some people I know will have everything done the night before.  Fortunately have got my wardrobe set up to avoid this.
