Tips to start to morning routine
-
Jot down
Jot down your morning routine a night before
Have a small diary or note book and plan how to start next day.Every night before I sleep, I make sure that the alarm is set. I maintain a note book for myself where I plan out what various asanas I will be working on.
It is very important to have a sequence while practicing Yoga. Some day you want to break the sequence and skip the usual one, that’s fine.
I plan a night ahead for the asana, I will be working. It helps me to keep my schedule on time and keep me on track.
Same way you can plan on any physical activity. If you are a runner, then aim for the distance you want to run.
If you go to gym, then think about the work-out you would do.
Having a plan ahead adds a discipline in the scheduled.

Try to wake up 15 minutes before your usual time
Include waking up a little early in your morning routine
Don’t be over ambitious and set alarm of 5 o’clock. While you really want to get up early, don’t think of waking the next day at this time. Set an alarm,15 minutes before your usual wake up time.
Slowly as you improve on that, keep pushing the limit by 15 more minutes. There will be a day when you will be waking up at 5 in the morning.
