How do you start your daily grind?
In the hopes of building the best morning routine I could, I did some research on the daily routines of some of the most successful people I know. They certainly inspired me to think about different parts of my own routine - perhaps they’ll be useful to you as well.
Robyn Balsley
I start my day early at 4:30am with meditation, reading a devotional, Optimize +1 (Brian Johnson), and then get into my day. I then get some work done while it is quiet and then go for a run around 7:00am.

Allison Benham
I start my day with reading from some kind of positive business, health, or spirituality book, I write down what I am grateful for, and I exercise by walking, running, or doing some weight training. I try to do this 7 days a week but sometimes I only make it 5 or 6 days! I do find it really helpful though, to have some time to myself in the morning to be thoughtful and take care of myself.

Julia Sanderson
The way I start my day is by taking a deep, slow breath and whispering, "I am here, and I am grateful," soon followed by magical bean juice (coffee).

Sean Kneale
I start my work day by catching up on what is going on in the cycling world: who won what race, what brand launched what and other general industry happenings. I do this by checking the cycling websites, LinkedIn and other social platforms.

Cheri Ruskus
I start each and every day with what I call Morning Momentum which is a time and space for me to come into world at sunrise on my own terms. My practice includes first off a great cup of coffee as I enjoy meditation, journaling, beautiful music, reading, stretching/yoga, then looking at my calendar and thoughtfully planning my day.

Brian Rogers
My way to start my day, " is breathing and acknowledging that everything will work out and not judging myself if it doesn't . "

Dina Griffin
My way to start the day is waking up without an alarm, drinking a cup of water before delving into my much anticipated cup of coffee, and then practicing my meditation to the awakening of the day around me.

Üma Kleppinger
Mornings are a ritual of self-care. I enjoy meditation listening to the birds and the water fountain in the neighbor’s yard, followed by mindset work and journaling, coffee, playtime with my kitten, and a bit of foam roller and movement work to loosen up the body—not necessarily in that order.

Travis Ruskus
After waking up I like to meditate, exercise, shower, and eat before looking at my inbox or working on a project.

As for me, I like to wake up at 5:30am every day and say “thank you for another day” to my heart, meditate, go for a run, then come back home and start the day.
