1. Early Rise

Time: 5:30 AM — 6:00 AM

• Wake up early: Aim to rise early to ensure you have enough time for your morning routine without feeling rushed.
• Thank God: Thank Him for protecting you through the night!

2. Prayer and Devotion

Time: 6:00 AM — 6:30 AM

• Devotional Reading: Read a passage from the Bible. Consider using a daily devotional book or app to guide your reading and reflection.

3. Physical Exercise

Time: 6:30 AM — 7:00 AM

• Exercise: Engage in a physical activity that you enjoy, such as jogging, stretching, or a workout routine. Physical exercise helps wake up your body and mind, preparing you for the day ahead.

4. Healthy Breakfast

6. Preparation for the Day

• Plan your day with God
• Personal Hygiene: Brush your teeth, wash your face – As my mom used to tell me, “Wash the sleep out of your eyes!”, take a shower, get dressed, and prepare yourself for the day.
• Spiritual Music or Podcasts: Listen to uplifting Christian music or a podcast that inspires and motivates you as you get ready.

7. Final Prayer and Commitment

Time: 8:30 AM — 8:40 AM

• Prayer for the Day: Conclude your morning routine with a final prayer, committing the day to God and asking for His presence and guidance in all that you do.

Tips for Maintaining the Routine

2. Flexibility: Be flexible and adapt the routine to fit your specific needs and circumstances.
3. Simplicity: Keep the routine simple and manageable to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Starting your day with a structured, healthy, and spiritually centered routine can set a positive tone for the entire day, helping you stay focused, grounded, and connected to your faith.
