01/7A day of calm and peace

The early morning hours decide how the rest of the day will turn out. These hours are the one where a person sets the tone for their day. If the morning was loud, tiresome and filled with phones and content, this can result in a chaotic day. But, if the day starts with meditation, movement, and calm, this will result in a better headspace throughout. And, people who usually have good days, are the ones who follow certain spiritual habits which help them mentally.
Here we list a few things that are believed to be a part of a spiritual person’s morning routine.

02/7​Waking up in Brahma Muhurat

​Waking up in Brahma Muhurat

Many spiritual people prefer to wake up early in the morning, even before sunrise. This practice is not only about getting a head start to the day but also about experiencing the quiet and stillness of the early morning hours. This time is often referred to as the ‘Brahma Muhurta’ and spiritual seekers wake up between 4:00 AM and 5:30 AM to start their day. The silence and calm of the early morning hours is perfect for their meditation and also gives them the much needed me-time.

03/7​Water intake

​Water intake

One thing that has been taught to people for a long time now is to drink a bit of warm water as soon as you wake up. And for people who are walking on the spiritual path or wish to be more organised through the day, a common practice is to drink a glass of water.
And spiritual or not, so many people drink a glass of water early in the morning. Some people add a squeeze of lemon to it, or a pinch of Himalayan salt, believing it helps to cleanse the body and kick-start the metabolism.
Plus, hydration, and something as simple as drinking water, is seen as a way to purify the body and prepare it for the day ahead.

04/7​Gratitude journaling

​Gratitude journaling

Something that a lot of spiritual people do is that they write down what they are content with. And this can be done in the form of gratitude journaling. Starting the day with gratitude is a key element for someone who wishes to be spiritual or is spiritual. Early in the morning, when there is silence and calm all around, spiritual people take a few moments to reflect on what they are thankful for and what made them happy.

Plus, apart from journaling, they also engage in silent reflection, speaking aloud, affirming their blessings, and the likes.

05/7​Meditation

​Meditation


Centred and focused meditation is one of the biggest signs and habits of a spiritual person and one of the biggest parts of their early morning routine. Be it for a few minutes or an hour, this practice allows them to centre themselves, quiet the mind, and connect with their inner energy. The type of meditation that people do also varies. Some practice mindfulness, focusing on their breath, while others use guided meditations, chants, or visualisation techniques. The simple aim of meditating in the morning is to put your inner self at peace and start the day with uncluttered energies.

06/7​Affirmation and visualisation

​Affirmation and visualisation

Another habit that is believed that spiritual people follow is of affirming their goals and visualising their success. Setting positive affirmations and intentions for the day can help overcome negative thoughts and self-doubt. For example, when we say that ‘I am calm and composed’ over and over again we make our mind believe it with time. Similarly, when we affirm the right things and visualise them happening to us, we make our subconscious believe in it which helps us in working harder for it.

07/7​Reading the scriptures

​Reading the scriptures

A practice that is common to many spiritual and religious people is reading. The religious read the scriptures or sacred texts, and so do the spirituals or something else. People usually dedicate some time in the morning to reading or studying spiritual texts or books. From self-help books to philosophy and teachings, this reading can be of anything. The purpose of this practice is to gain knowledge, find some inspiration, deepen one's understanding and beliefs, or even just to keep the technology away for the first few hours.
