The Perfect Morning: How to Start Your Day on the Right Foot

Getting out of bed in the morning can sometimes be the hardest thing, especially when being lazy and watching TikTok all day seems like the superior choice. Motivation and productivity can come and go, but if you start your day with the right intentions, you’ll be bound for success. I’ve decided to push you all in the right direction and teach you simple morning habits that will prepare you to face any day. Golden Magazine prides itself on breaking the boundaries and embracing the individual, so why not embody this rewarding, badass mentality by incorporating these simple actions into your morning routine?


Create A Positive Space

It might seem like an obvious habit to include in your morning routine, but starting the day by making your bed and opening the blinds is an instant mood booster. Ensuring that you have a neat space where you sleep and spend your time will make you feel even the tiniest bit more put together. Letting the sunshine beam into your space will hopefully fill you with warmth and put you in a happy mindset to conquer the day. All in all, a well-kept space is the key to composure and a successful future.


Dissect Your Daily Intentions

Taking some time to consider your goals for the upcoming day will immediately propel you in the right direction. Creating a daily to-do list or schedule will allow you to feel organized and ultimately establish a foundation for how you’ll spend your time that day. I also recommend writing down or thinking about your daily goals, because nothing beats the feeling of striving for and accomplishing that target objective. If you have a little more time, maybe go over some of the things you’re grateful for that morning. This puts you in a mindset that is appreciative and more likely to embrace whatever the day throws at you.


Move Your Body

Getting up and incorporating physical activity into your morning will always generate some sense of satisfaction right off the bat. Just knowing that you got up and moved your body is sometimes what you need to keep going throughout the day. And if not, you’ll at least feel proud of yourself that you accomplished one thing that morning. Whether you go for a run, take a yoga class, do a HIIT workout, or move your body in any form, you’ll feel like your morning was well spent.


Fuel Your Body

Starting your day on an empty stomach is never the way to go. In order to make sure you’re full of good fuel and energy, make time to eat some breakfast in the morning. This could seem like a no-brainer, but it’s an important habit that will give you some stamina to crush your day and get shit done. Whatever food makes you happy, incorporate that into your morning routine. This habit will definitely lift your spirits and give your body what it needs to function properly. 


Dress For Success

Sometimes the best way to get you into that productive and upbeat mentality for the morning is to put on an outfit that makes you feel confident and on top of the world. When you feel put together and are satisfied with how you’re looking, nothing can stop you from having a successful day. To start your morning on the right track, try putting together some pieces that will keep you feeling golden. If you’re lounging around in pajamas all day, you’re less likely to get up and accomplish what needs to be done. So go browse through your closet and find an outfit that speaks to you and start your morning beaming with confidence and a cute look.
