1. Ways to Kick Start Your Day
The way we start our day can strongly influence how the rest of the day goes. Whether we are concerned in making that first hour of the day or use the morning to create a great day throughout, we need to take the early part of the day to set up success for the rest of the day. Here are some of the tried and tested ways to kick start your day to ensure that you stay productive and motivated all day long.
Wake Up Early
Leaving yourself enough time before work helps you to feel more in control of your time and less rushed. Getting up in plenty of time before you leave the house or start your workday really makes a difference. So, give yourself a little extra time and start your day in a relaxed and positive way.
Meditate
Meditation is a really simple and effective way to start your day well. If you haven’t meditated before, just carve out five to ten minutes from your day and sit quietly. Even sitting quietly with a hot drink once you get up can make a huge difference to your start to the day. It is amazing how much of a difference spending even ten minutes a day unplugged from the outside world makes.

2. Have a Good Breakfast
A good breakfast is a great way to start your day. Breakfast is often called the most important meal of the day and for good reason; it provides the energy we need to start the day and also provides us with essential vitamins and minerals.
Exercise
Exercising is indeed one of the great ways to kick start your day. Find what suits you. Some form of exercise will help you start your day on the right foot. Find what you enjoy and what fits in with your schedule. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing; start small and build on it.
Inspire your mind

3. Have a list of your life goals ready on your bed-table. After you've inspired your body, read your goals aloud, not in a drone but with real feeling. Imagine as vividly as you can how you'll feel when you achieve each goal.
Be Prepared
Get as much ready for your day the night before. Make your lunch for the next day, get your clothes ready, write a to do list and do whatever you can to free yourself up for the next day so that you can concentrate on enjoying your morning and starting your day off well. Leaving yourself plenty of time will help you start the day in a relaxed way, rather than in a rush or panic.
Create a Simple to Do List
I find creating a to do list each day keeps me focused and clear on what I need to do, but I really try to keep it simple and just write two or three big important tasks. Be realistic about what you need to get done and bear your schedule in mind.
Do something important first
When you sit down at your desk, don't jump into the trivia of your job. Instead, decide what's the most important thing you can do today based upon your life goals. Then do it. This creates momentum that keeps you energized all day.
