Journaling

Goal setting in the morning can be a very effective way to start your day. It will give you the opportunity to plan out the things you want to do and work towards it. If you are someone who gets more time in the evening, writing about the outcomes of your day can create room for introspection.

Meditation

Meditation is a great way to boost your overall physical, emotional, and mental health. You can add a 20-minute session to your morning or evening routine.

Reading

Pick up a good book as you have your morning coffee or sit down in your cozy corner as the sun sets. You can also read a book right before bed as the perfect way to end your day.

Get in the kitchen

Making yourself some healthy breakfast or putting together a quick evening snack is a great habit to add to your day. This will make you feel more grounded and connected with yourself. If you don’t like cooking, baking might be something fun for you to try out.

Stay active

The cliché addition to every list that is focused on productivity. Find a way to stay physically active, whether it is hitting the gym in the morning, or a pleasant evening walk. It is the perfect way to give your body the exercise it requires.
