I am a morning lark. For me, my day on weekdays start early at 5 AM. And on holidays and weekends around 6:30_7 AM. It is tough for me to stay in bed beyond that.
I start my day with folding hands and saying a silent prayer before coming out of bed. I am grateful for a new day in my life. Then I get up and have some lukewarm water, a walk around my terrace garden talking to my plants. And on most days I would witness a beautiful sunrise. After that I go for getting ready in washroom, enter the kitchen to cook and pack for my daughter, finish few chores around the house. Then it's exercise time for me( 20_60 minutes). I enjoy morning tea with a handful of dry fruits with my husband. I just flip through the printed newspaper while sipping my tea and chatting with my husband.Then I take bath, do pooja( Hindu ritual) in the temple at my home and have my breakfast. I start for work post thar.
If it's holiday, I would do some others chores, online hustles, gardening, reading etc.
How about you? What's your routine to start your day?

Your morning routine sounds peaceful and fulfilling, full of gratitude and mindfulness. Here's a typical morning routine that some people might follow:

1. **Wake Up:** Many people set their alarms for around 6 or 7 AM to start their day. Some prefer waking up naturally, without an alarm, when possible.

2. **Stay Mindful:** Like you, they might begin with a moment of gratitude or a short meditation session to set a positive tone for the day.

3. **Hydration:** Drinking a glass of water is common to hydrate after a night's rest. Some add lemon to their water for flavor and health benefits.

4. **Exercise:** Engaging in physical activity, whether it’s a morning jog, yoga, or a quick workout session, helps energize the body and mind.

5. **Shower & Grooming:** Taking a shower and getting dressed for the day can be refreshing and help transition from sleep to productivity.

6. **Breakfast:** A balanced breakfast is important. People might enjoy oats, eggs, smoothies, or toast with avocado, paired with coffee or tea.

7. **Planning:** Reviewing the day's agenda or setting goals can help prioritize tasks and ensure a productive day.

8. **Commute or Begin Work:** Some start heading to work or, if working from home, set up their workspace to begin their tasks.

On weekends or holidays, they might use the extra time to indulge in hobbies, spend time with family, or relax and recharge.

The specific details can vary widely based on individual preferences, responsibilities, and lifestyle.

When I wake up from sleep, I will take some minutes lying down. After about 10 minutes, stand up and stretch myself, do some meditation.
Take some water, go outside and skip rope for 20 minutes. Have a tea or coffee, depending.
Then prepare to go out for the morning making money.

Your morning routine sounds thoughtful and well-structured. Starting your day with a bit of lying down allows your body to transition gently from rest to activity. Stretching and meditation can help center your mind and body, providing a peaceful start to the day. Staying hydrated by drinking water is essential, and skipping rope for 20 minutes offers an excellent cardiovascular workout that can boost your energy.

Having tea or coffee afterward can be a comforting ritual, giving you a little extra caffeine kick if you need it. Finally, preparing to go out for the morning signifies readiness to tackle the day's tasks, especially those focused on making money. This kind of routine can set a positive tone for your entire day, enhancing both productivity and overall well-being.

That sounds like a pretty good way to start a day with all calmness and mindfulness. Twenty minutes of skipping rope each day is enough of cardio, I am sure that you are pretty fit. That kind of exercise actually energizes you. I used to have skipping ropes on my exercise regime earlier. But post covid infection, my knees have gone a bit weak and it doesn't suit me. Doctors have asked me to avoid it. I really used to enjoy it.
