A morning routine can determine how your entire day will turn out to be.

That is why people who are focused on making their day productive make it a point to make their mornings as positive and productive as the rest of the day.

Keeping this in mind, these successful people have a literal good morning, and thus have a very good mindset to take the challenges of the day headon.

She gets up at 4.30 am every day and works out and only after that tends to her kids. Like us even she was not really motivated to wake up early and used to just get to the kids first.

But then she motivated herself every day with the reason that if she didn’t take time out for herself, who will?

6. Jennifer Aniston wakes up at 8 am every day and cuddles with her dogs

There can be no better morning than cuddling with three dogs, and Jennifer Aniston does just that. She then makes a very healthy breakfast with the eggs that are laid by the chicken she rears in her backyard.

7. Oprah Winfrey starts her daily morning with meditation

She spends 20 minutes every morning after she wakes up with meditation that helps her clear her head. After that, she heads to the gym for the daily exercise that is aimed at keeping her energy levels up throughout the day.

8. Margaret Thatcher woke up every day at 5 am after very little sleep

Margaret Thatcher is one of those people who didn’t need a lot of sleep. That is why she would stay up long hours late into the night attending political meetings.

Joanna Coles wakes up at 6.30 am in the morning and walks her dog in central park for an hour before heading back home.

It may be so that any one of these may not suit your personal needs or schedule, but it is very important that we take inspiration from these people and find a morning routine that really helps make our day positive and productive.

Have a good morning!
