How you begin your morning shapes your entire day. Successful people don’t just wake up—they design their mornings with intention. Here’s a simple but powerful routine to boost productivity and mindset:  

1. Hydrate First Thing – After 6-8 hours without water, your body is dehydrated. Drinking a glass of water kickstarts metabolism and brain function.  

2. Write Down 3 Priorities – Clarity reduces stress. Before checking emails, list your top 3 tasks. This keeps you focused.  

3. Five Minutes of Gratitude Journaling – Writing down what you’re grateful for rewires your brain for positivity. Try: *"I’m grateful for…"*  

4. Move Your Body – A short walk, stretching, or a quick workout boosts energy and mental clarity.  

5. Avoid Social Media for the First Hour – Scrolling hijacks focus. Protect your mindset before the world’s noise rushes in.
