A SIMPLE MORNING GUIDE

A Recipe for
Starting a Good Day

by Annie Lee

This is my simple morning recipe for beginning the day with a calm and positive mind.

Morning stretching

STEP ONE

Stretch Your Body

After waking up, gently stretch your arms, legs, and back. Stretching helps your body wake up and feel ready for the day.

A cup of warm tea

STEP TWO

Drink Warm Tea

Make a cup of warm tea and drink it slowly. It helps you feel comfortable and gives you a peaceful moment.

Sunlight coming through a window

STEP THREE

Open the Window

Open the window and enjoy the fresh air and sunlight. Natural light can help you feel awake and refreshed.

A neatly made bed

STEP FOUR

Make Your Bed

Organize your blankets and pillows. Making your bed keeps your room clean and gives you a small sense of accomplishment.

Writing in a gratitude journal

STEP FIVE

Meditate or Write

Spend a few quiet minutes meditating or writing down something you are thankful for. This helps you begin the day with a positive mindset.
