My ritual is meticulously designed for my own well-being, and is something that took one helluva week to get into habit. I think morning rituals are extremely important indicators and deciders of how well you spend your day.
7.15 am. My SAD light alarm clock will be 100% bright, and my alarm will go off playing generic bird noises around 10-20 minutes after my sleepphone headband-speakers stop playing hypnosis music - i'll know this to be the case as generic ambient music is usually playing at this point, showing that I haven't somehow turned off the hypnosis, which sometimes happens but less so now that my sleepphones are wirelessly connected to my phone. Because of that, as of recently, at 7.30, my custom alarm goes off, playing an alarm playlist of "Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk", "Jackson 5 - I want you back" and "Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrel - Ain't no mountain high enough".
At 7.40-7.45 I get up, and first thing I do is grab my big tumbler of water, drinking the whole thing. I then go to the bathroom, refill the tumbler, and start a shower as well as take care of things. After my shower, I dry, drink the water, go into my room and while naked + relaxed. Start my bio-energetics, which is me basically jumping up and down, touching the ground, while making caveman noises, it a ball slappingly good experience, as it warms me up, relaxes my body, and generally sets my body in gear to set out the day. I then slap on boxers, and get on with oral and facial hygiene. At this point, if I've not slept in too much, it should be 8.10 at latest.
I put on clothes, make sure I look dapper, and head down to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. At 8.20, i'll grab my pre-made breakfast drink, which is made once a week and put into a chilled bottle. The drink is kale, celery, spinach and broccolli, all juiced up into a bottle. Every morning. I pour some into a blending bottle, add wheat grass, manuka honey, matcha tea (and as of late my mates 'green stuff' which is a mix of all kinds of things), half a tea spoon of flax seed oil, and half an apple. I blend it, put a cap on the bottle, and head of to check my bag - something I set the night before, checking to make sure it's all there.
One last look in the mirror at 8.30 and I'm out the house, I walk about 2 blocks to a bus stop, that takes me to the doorstep of my college in about 15-20 minutes. I spend that time doing some light meditation, simply staring at a spot and being aware of my surroundings and my thoughts, but not active in either. A more traditional form of meditation than bio-energetics.
I then get into my college at about 8.55, buy a coffee, head to my class, set up my work, check my phone's "any.do" app for my tasks of that day, and then read over my brief and action plan for that class. I'll then start my work, drinking my green juice with my coffee, and bish bang bosh. After about 20 minutes and another much needed trip to the toilet, i'm usually off working on my day. :D
