Creating a beneficial morning routine

[photo by gary barnes]

Sleeping is, more than not, a very unrestful activity for me. My brain morphs up the weirdest dreams, and it's just very unpleasant. And there's nothing better than starting the day with a cramped up body and confused mind (read: anything is better than this).

Then I stumbled onto this blog post by Sarah Wilson, and it all made sense. Of course having a consistent, fulfilling, and satisfying morning routine would affect how the rest of the day goes. And, bonus, hopefully balance out the funky sleep life I occasionally fall into.

Over the next few weeks, I hope to develop a morning routine that works for me. I'll keep you updated! And in the meantime, I want to know how you start off your day. What has helped you find and keep a lovely balance throughout the day?
