Wake up early
In India, the auspicious time approximately an hour and a half before sunrise is known as the Brahma Muhurta or the Creator’s Time. It is observed that at this time, our potential to be creative is at its peak. If you want to acquire new knowledge, to sharpen your skills, or even to enhance your health, you must do so in this creative time. In this magical time when the day begins, the universe is like a womb filled with cosmic energy.

Spend a few minutes alone 
A tranquil morning provides the space for the cultivation of solitude, a realm where introspection and self-discovery converge. Communing with oneself through practices of meditation or reading scriptures nurtures emotional resilience and self-awarenes.

Chanting 
Chanting mantras or sacred sounds is a powerful yogic technique that resonates with the body's energy centers, or chakras. By uttering specific sounds, you can release tension and promote a sense of harmony.

Movement
Physical activity, when woven into the fabric of the morning routine, is excellent for stress reduction. Engaging in a session of yoga, a brisk walk, swimming or a team game releases endorphins, the body's natural mood enhancers. 

Journaling
Maintaining a gratitude journal is a powerful morning habit. Take a few minutes each morning to jot down three things you are grateful for. This practice shifts your focus away from stressors and cultivates a positive mindset, setting a harmonious tone for the rest of the day.
