It might sound funny， but having a certain routine in the morning or evening will help you to grow personally，with your workouts and also with your job and life. Why is that？ The humans adapt pretty well to routines and that makes us more efficient， meaning that you can save a lot of time and that your body also can relax better and faster. This is what I've learnt from my own morning routines.

I for myself always prepare my first meal for the following day every evening. I take 300ml of water，30 grams of chia seeds， and a couple of oats（燕麦）and leave them in a plastic container in my fridge overnight. All I have to do in the morning is to add some fresh berries.

I also have my cup and my coffee capsule ready，and the first thing when I come out off the bathroom is to turn on the coffee machine while I'm getting dressed. Getting dressed is a good point. I have already prepared my clothes for work. So I don't get stuck in my decision whether I want to wear the white，black，purple or blue blouse.

After I'm dressed， my coffee is ready and while I'm quickly getting my hair and make﹣up done，I'll drink my coffee. I don't need usually longer than 30﹣40 minutes in the morning to get ready and leave the house. This helps me firstly to sleep a little bit longer and secondly not to be in a rush and be calm for the day.

So，my friends，try to apply some certain routines to your day and you'll see how your mind and your body will adapt to them and you have more energy to focus on important things.
