 # My Daily Routine to Maximize Energy and Focus Productivity doesn't start with caffeine or a to-do list.   For me, it starts **before** the day even begins. Here's the routine I've been following to stay energized, sharp, and clear-headed. --- ## 🛏 1. Make My Bed, Then Meditate (2–5 Minutes) As soon as I wake up, I make my bed. It's a small act of order that sets the tone for the rest of the day. Then, I sit quietly. No phone. No stimulation.   Just **2 to 5 minutes** of breath awareness or intention-setting. > It helps calm the mind before the noise begins. --- ## ☕ 2. Morning Salt Tea, Not Coffee Lately, I've been experimenting with something called **salt tea**—   a cup of warm water with **1 tsp of high-quality salt** dissolved in it. Why? Because the electrolyte balance helps “wake up” my body and brain more gently than caffeine. > It’s surprisingly refreshing and supports hydration too. 📸 **Image Insertion Point**   *Insert he...

 # What I Don’t Do Anymore in the Morning For years, my mornings were rushed, cluttered, and noisy — not from the outside world, but from within.   Now, I've stopped doing a few things that seemed small but made a big difference in how my day begins. --- --- ## 🚫 No More Breakfast — And I Feel Better I practice **intermittent fasting**, so I skip breakfast.   At first, it felt strange. But over time, I noticed more mental clarity and less sluggishness in the morning. Eating later gives my body more time to reset.   And surprisingly, I feel **more focused and energized**. --- ## 📵 No Scrolling First Thing The old me used to check social media or YouTube the moment I opened my eyes.   Now, I **avoid screens for the first hour** of the day. This helps me start with my own thoughts — not the noise of the internet.   I’ve regained control over my attention. --- ## 📰 I Delay the News I still read the news — just not **right away**....

 # How My Morning Routine Became My Foundation There’s something about the quiet of early morning.   No noise. No notifications. Just you, your breath, and the beginning of a new cycle. My mornings weren’t always this way. But over time, I found a rhythm that helped me feel more aligned — physically, mentally, and emotionally. --- ## My Morning Flow (No Breakfast, Just Breath and Movement) I practice **intermittent fasting**, so I usually skip breakfast.   Instead, I start with what my body and mind need most: space. Here’s what most mornings look like for me: 1. **Wake up → Short lying meditation (2~5 min)**      I don’t sit up right away. I stay lying down, eyes closed, and just feel my breath. 2. **Put on running shoes → Slow Jogging**      On an empty stomach, I go for a relaxed jog — nothing intense.      Just movement and air.      *(On days I can’t run, I do kettlebell swings ...
