What kind of meditation, reading, or praying do you begin your day with? What works for you and what have you tried the doesn't but may work for others?

Now that its warmer, I walk the kids to the bus stop, and take advantage of the walk back to meditate. I later have breakfast and start my work with a cup of coffee

I usually do some streches, and go for a walk or do some light exercise in the morning. It helps me feel freshened up when I start my day. :]

Let's see... yoga and various forms of exercise and moving meditations are things I've tried, but that early in the morning if I move my shoulder too much it pops out of joint, so those are things that don't work for me but do for others. Meditation would work for me if I had time to meditate right after I get up, but since I'm pretty much immediately in charge of my almost 2-year-old son when I wake up, I can't really meditate. I suppose you could say I pray in the morning, because the very first thing I do when I wake up is thank my Gods for the day, however... saying I pray is kind of like saying I breathe. I pretty much have a running conversation with my Gods all day long, every day.

i usually begin my day by doing meditation (according to yoga system)and asana (yoga postures). i found it very helpful to prepare me performing daily activity. actually i finish my day by doing yoga meditation also.

As a Muslim I need to read the declaration of faith every morning. However I forget to that often. However I do repeat a names of the Lord.
