My morning routine is COFFEE!
Millions of people swear their morning rituals get their day off to a good start, including meditation, exercise and writing down goals.
A poll of 2,000 adults found brushing their teeth, having a shower, cooking breakfast and making the bed are some of the things they would be least likely to skip as part of their morning routine.
However, 32 percent hate oversleeping, as if they don’t get around to all their morning rituals, respondents can end up feeling rushed, frustrated and annoyed.
Though 43 percent said having a routine helps the rest of their day go well, 38 percent claim it helps them focus.
It also emerged 22 percent of those polled admit to waking up no later than 6 am so they can get all their morning rituals done before starting work, which takes 53 minutes on average.
And 34 percent believe they can accomplish more in the day if their morning routine is done right.
More than half also try and stick to their morning routine even if they’re away from home like staying in a hotel or friend’s house.
Of those who took part in the survey, via OnePoll, half said breakfast is the most important meal of the day, while 56 percent believe it helps them start the day the right way.
It also emerged 36 percent believe their morning routine has changed over the last two years
