TOP 10 RULES: morning rituals of success

Exercising first thing in the morning is an excellent way to start the day of a successful entrepreneur. Getting uncomfortable first thing in the morning could be beneficial for your health and endurance. Exercising boosts your immune system and wakes up the body because you are forcing your body to react. More blood is flowing trough your body, and this could also boost your mental state of mind. Exercising can reduce stress and makes you feel happier after your workout because of the endorphins released in the body. Another benefit of exercising in the morning is the peace of mind you did your daily exercise for the day.

Schedule Your day
Getting up early and planning your day allows the entrepreneur to get ahead of their day. The entrepreneur can read important emails, proofread contracts and so on. Getting that little bit of advantage can make an enormous difference.

Making time for yourselves and family
Taking enough time for the family Is often ignored in this busy world. The only time most people can control is the time after they just woke up. Eating breakfast and chatting with your kids, wife/husband or girlfriend can give you and your family the extra motivation you need. Quality time is important and should be a priority for the busy entrepreneur.

Getting up before the rest of the world
Off course, you will not be the only one who will be awake in this world, but knowing what happened on the other side of the world can prepare you for this side.
Getting ahead and knowing what's happening while the rest are in ´dreamland´ can give you an advantage in this world.

Eating breakfast as a champ or nothing at all
Great entrepreneurs eat well or nothing at all in the morning. Some entrepreneurs do not have the time to have breakfast in the morning because of all the work. Other entrepreneurs take their time and have an excellent breakfast to boost their day and to get that nutrition to the mind and body. It is a personal preference of entrepreneurs to work hard in the morning or work hard at lunch.

Reading
Reading the papers or a book in the morning can be relaxing as productive for the mind as well.

Rebooting
Taking a cold shower and afterwards a warm shower can be refreshing and healthy for your blood flow. Yoga can be a good rebooting tool too.

Relaxing
Just meditating or relaxing can make a great start to your busy day. If you can take a sauna and relax, just do it! Enjoy it while you can! You will feel more relaxed for the rest of the day if you start your day in a relaxing state of mind.

Reflecting
Reflecting why and what you are doing can be an excellent tool for your motivation and knowing what your real passion or drive is. Thinking about your moves in business/life and evaluating this is a good habit for your self-development.
