46. Why You Should Have a Morning Routine

 

“We have routines, and we like routines because it helps keep things slightly more predictable. And it helps keep things consistent,” explains host Dr. Andrew. We must structure our time for consistency as we try to live a healthy lifestyle. Understanding the importance of a morning routine, Dr. Andrew explains how to start your day with the habits you need to thrive.

 

Morning routines are crucial because they can set the tone for the rest of our day. If we lack structure and do things on the fly, it’s very easy to lose time and get further and further from our goals. If we have straightforward tasks we do from the time we wake up, we can factor in the things that could go wrong so we never waste a moment. Not only will we be able to have the consistency to succeed, but our mental states will be calmer as we work through our weeks.

 

If you want to make wellness part of your routine, start in the morning. Learn more about how we are creatures of habit, being proactive versus reactive, and what Dr. Andrew does to get his day started.
