Simple Mindfulness Activities To Embrace Each Morning

Each morning, we are given the opportunity to start afresh. To reset our minds and set our intentions for the day ahead. But often, we find ourselves rushing through our mornings without taking the time to appreciate all that we have. If you're looking for a way to start your day with mindfulness, here are simple ideas from us at Novus Giri to get you started. You can practice these ideas throughout the day.

1. Setting your intentions for the day when you wake up. For example, “Today, I will be compassionate and kind to myself and others.” Your intention can be anything you feel is important to you.

2. Grab a book and read a passage that inspires you; it can be non-fiction, poetry, or an autobiography.

3. Create a little notebook filled with your favorite quotes. That way, you can always go back to it whenever you need a small dose of inspiration.

4. Stretch, make your morning brew of choice, step outside, breathe in the air and witness the start of your day.

5. Swap your routine. If you have a habit of listening to the news in the morning, try listening to podcasts on motivation, self-help, or guided meditation to ease you into your day.

6. Remove a thing that’s been bothering you — like the pile of magazines on the corner of your room that should have gone to the recycling bin, or an old ratty t-shirt that you can’t stand having.

7. Make an online order of your favorite flowers, and set it on a vase on your desk. That way you can stop and literally smell the roses to kickstart your day on the right note.

8. Prepare your breakfast slowly and enjoy the fruits of your labor mindfully with each bite, savoring the taste and give thanks.

9. Practice breathing exercises. Inhale and exhale to keep yourself grounded.

We all have those days when we get swept away by the day’s responsibilities the moment we wake up. Learning how to be present will have lasting benefits for our mental and physical health. We hope that you can find solace with these simple morning practices to help add groundedness before you dive straight into your day.
