Five Tips For A Happier Morning Routine1. Flowers, Coffee And Other Aesthetically Pleasing Things
When you first open your eyes in the morning, what do you see? Is it a pleasant and appealing sight? Does the sound of your alarm clock scare you with buzzing & ringing, or does a lilting, melodic chime slowly wake you from your slumber? Does the tempting smell of coffee waft through your home, inviting you to rise, shine and begin your day? Try starting off with a few basic pleasantries to set the tone for the rest of your day:
2. Plan Your Day The Night Before
Nothing says stressful morning like rushing around at the last minute making lunches, looking for paperwork, misplaced car keys or your sunglasses (p.s., they're on your head). Take about 30 minutes the night before to pack your lunch, lay out your clothes, fill your water bottle, organize your tote bag and jot down any notes you may need for work or running errands the next day. If you don't have a planner, you might want to consider getting one. They're a lifesaver when it comes to organizing your time and keeping yourself accountable.

Fragrance and scent have a way of lifting our spirits and evoking a mood (and memories). Of course, what might smell good to me may not be your cup of tea, but that's because scent is personal. Try starting your day with a scent you love, using a nebulizing diffuser like the ones found at aromatechscent.com. You can diffuse luxurious and relaxing scents throughout your home using a variety of diffusers styles and organic oil blends.
Personally, I enjoy citrus-scented candles and wax melts throughout my home in the mornings. The light, refreshing scent wakes my senses and has me feeling invigorated in no time. Same goes for body wash & lotion; the crisp, fresh scents of lemon, orange and verbena are a few of my faves.
