Mornings are arguably the most important part of any day! Waking up late and starting the day frazzled will usually keep your spirits low throughout the rest of the day. Conversely, starting the day in a good mood and feeling motivated ensures that you'll have a happy and productive day ahead!

And perhaps one of the best ways to have a great morning is by establishing a morning routine! We've talked about the different morning rituals that you can add to your morning routine for fantastic mornings, but there's just one more thing you should do: repeating positive morning affirmations!
