    9 Small Morning Habits That Will Make Your Whole Day So Much Better

1. Make your bed.Yes, making your bed is technically a chore, but it can also be a deceptively simple and tiny way to make yourself feel good. The reasons are manifold: It goes a long way in making your space (and mind) less cluttered, it encourages good sleep hygiene (who doesn’t want to crawl into a freshly made bed at the end of the day?), and it might also do some surprising psychological work behind the scenes too.

2. Nail a “getting ready” order.Remember that decision fatigue we just talked about? It’s extremely applicable to getting ready in the morning. Most of us have that bucket of things we do every morning to prepare for the day (you know, getting dressed, brushing our teeth, etc.), but you might not have it down to an exact order yet. Maybe sometimes you jump straight from the shower to doing your hair while other days you lounge around in your towel scrolling through the morning news.

3. Put off checking your phone.Every time we check our phones—especially after a long stretch of time away, like when we’re sleeping—we invite a flood of stimulation and bullshit into our brain space. For such a tiny device, your phone holds a lot of potential stressors, like news notifications, your bank-account balance, and texts that demand your attention right now

4. Stretch your body.I didn’t want to put exercise on this list because I’m a firm believer that you’re either a morning workout person or you’re not, and no listicle on SELF is going to convince you to add exercise to your morning routine if you don’t want to.

5. Drink some water.The benefits of drinking water are well documented. You know you should be hydrating throughout the day, but a glass of water in the morning kind of gets the whole process going. Not just physiologically (because, hey, you’re getting some water in your body after eight-ish hours of not drinking), but also mentally. Anyone else sometimes make it to noon or later only to realize they haven’t, uh, had a drop of the stuff? Making a habit of knocking back your first glass in the morning can help a lot

6. Write morning pages.You might brush off writing in the morning as something just for, well, writers, but it can be a really good practice for anyone who wants to live more creatively or engage in more self-reflection. Officially, morning pages are the brainchild of Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way. She encourages people to start the day with three pages of stream-of-consciousness writing—“whatever crosses your mind”—and claims doing so will improve your life across the board, including by getting you more in touch with your emotions. She writes, “Working with the morning pages, we begin to sort through the differences between our real feelings, which are often secret, and our official feelings, those on the record for public display.”

7. Wash your face.Many people smarter than I am have explained exactly how skin care can be a self-care tool (Jia Tolentino described it as a “psychological safety blanket” in The New Yorker), but what I can say is that I’ve embraced this wholeheartedly. Not only is a regular skin-care routine necessary for healthy skin, but it also feels like a mini pampering session every time I do it. This can be a great way to start off a day that will be otherwise busy and stressful.

8. Do something fun or creative.The idea of a “routine” kind of has a no-nonsense connotation that you get shit done. But, honestly, one of the best things I added to my morning is playing video games as I drink my coffee. Seriously, I currently start my day with Pokémon Shield.

9. Write or review your daily to-do list.For some people an ideal morning is a protected bubble wherein work isn’t allowed. Totally valid. But for others (like me!), it’s the perfect time to get some strategizing done before becoming distracted by the inevitable deluge of emails or slate of meetings. When you take the time to write out or review your game plan for the day, you’re once again getting ahead of making decisions based on your mood.
