In praise of the morning ritual

I love mornings! Those of you who have met me in person will know that I am a real morning person, full of energy and enthusiasm for the day ahead. Just don’t ever invite me to a late night event, I would struggle to stay awake! I have learned over the years that I am at my most productive early in the morning - it’s also my best writing and reflection time. So, to start my day on the most positive note, I have developed my own personal morning ritual. I thought I would share it with you this morning. My alarm goes off at 5am, I jump out of bed to turn it off and I immediately start my routine. I make a cup of my favourite Rooibos tea and I open all the windows to breathe in the fresh morning air. I sit at my favourite table in the window, taking a moment to look at the city waking up. I carefully place my Kindle, my notebook, my pen and my laptop in front of me, and I gather my thoughts. I write in my journal for one hour to work through any challenges or to gain essential insights, and then I am ready to start the day in earnest. My daily morning ritual works for me! I would love to hear about your morning rituals that kickstart your business day - drop me a line here.  

Have yourself an inspired entrepreneurial day! — Melanie
