I am such a creature of habit, lol. Every morning I do the exact same thing. I get up, first go to the bathroom (of course) then go into the kitchen and start a pot of coffee. Make my way back into the bathroom to put in my contacts then brush teeth and wash my face. I then gi into the office turn on the computer, sign into neobux and click the first ad. While that ad is counting down I go and make a cup of coffee then continue on with all my clicking. It doesn't matter if I have to work that day or if I'm off. It's the exact same. Do you do the same things every single day or does it vary. How do you start your mornings?

I wake up around 4am every morning, and go straight to take a bath. After that I pray and go out for jogging, usually 30 minutes. Back home around 5:30, I have breakfast and enjoy it with my favorite music, and continue on with my work (I am a journalist so no need to go out from home).

Yeah sure, but sometimes it's kinda boring, too (20% I guess).

I have a morning routine as well. After going to the bathroom, I brew a cup of coffee. I take the coffee into the backyard and enjoy the peace and quiet of the morning for a few minutes and then I write in my gratitude journal. The next thing on my list is to do stretching exercise and then I have breakfast.

I switch the computer on and go to the toilet, come back and launch outlook and firefox then head down to make a cup of strong black coffee. Spend about 30 minutes going through emails and RSS feeds over the aroma of coffee then go and shower followed by a smoke before starting my working day on the computer. The only day my routine differs is a Sunday where I tend to get up an hour later and pop out after my shower to get a weekend paper ...... jeez my lifes sad, lol.

I wake up and just stay in bed for few minutes, thinking of today's plan. After going to the bathroom, I drink a glass of water (not a coffee person). I eat breakfast while reading the papers or watching tv. I then doing little bit stretching and exercise. Later on, if I have a morning meeting (I am self employed) with clients, I'd get prepared.

Hello kittenclaus Every morning I start convincing myself I need to get out of bed, but it is a though job, it is sooo nice and cosey under my warm duvey! When I finally after 10minutes get out of my bed I sleepwalk to the shower where I put in my contacts and jump into the shower cabin.... Once the shower is over im almost awake, I dry my hair en get dressed, then I go eat breakfast (Breakfast is very important if I didnt get breakfast within an hour of getting up I get very very grumpy...) After breakfast is finished im more or less awake and then what happens depends on the day :) - Good day...

Me too! I wouldn't call it a routine, but it's a start. And it's to take a shower. My day never really starts if I don't get that wake-me-up shower in the morning. Even if it's a weekend and I slept in, I still have to take a shower the moment I wake up. Else I just end up lying around the house the whole day without doing anything.

I wake every day very early whether a working day or holiday.After finishing ablutions I take a long walk say 1 mile so.By the time I come homme it is dark most of the yet, I take a shower and take a cup of hot coffee. I prefer coffee to tea.I read new papers regularly for more than on hour.Politics and local news interest me.I feel that I am part of Govrnment though I am in private job.I feel thrilled if any wrondoes is punished . I internally praise and the judges for doing justice to the society.I never miss physical exercise and brisk walking because that has kept me active to enjoy life.I do not like the idea of gettingf up late in the morning. You see Sun is regular throughout for the last so many years.From when we do not and cannot say.The rays of Sun is very good for health. I also like people who get up early.The old saying ... early to bed and early to rise is healthy wealthy and wise...

Hmmmn -- i nevever really take notice of what my routine daily after getting out of bed...and now im taking some time to see if its a habit i have formed :). My dog, barbie sleeps in my room. Usually she sleeps on the floor but when she finally realized that she can jump up the bed already, i always wake up with her beside me. I don't set the alarm - she usually wakes me up since its her time to pee every 6'o clock (hmmmn so that's a habit - not my habit but Barbie's habit). So we go down 2-floors, i turn on the TV and what's the news while she's out to answer nature's call, i go to the bathroom. Then boils waters for coffee and make milk for Barbie....hmmmn yah it's a habit - these are what i actually do daily, with and without work. lol!

Actually as a student, every morning it's all just the same. First taking a bath, then change clothes, then after changing my clothes i go to kitchen for my breakfast. then go back to the bathroom to brush my teeth, then go back to my room to comb my hair.that's all I do, when i weak up in the morning. It's almost the same.

I am a type of person that hates to wake up early. Since i am still a student, I need to wake up early to go to school. First thing in the morning, I drink milk, then after that i take a bath. After taking a bath, I brush my teeth then if I still have time I study my lessons, I study in advance before leaving and go to school.

My mornings start out like this: I wake up. Take my medication. Eat breakfast. Brush my teeth. Take a shower. Put drops in my eyes and put my acne medication on my face. Get dressed. Go on the computer or get my things ready for class (depends on the day).

I think everyone has his own morning routine. ^^ I usually wake up, go down stairs for a cup of tea. Then I will go back upstairs, get into the bathroom. Take shower, brush teeth, wash face, and all that bathroom's activities. Dress to work. Go to work. After I reach the office, I turn on the computer, make tea on my glass, then start to work..
