What's your morning ritual? Do you have one?
The benefits of a morning ritual are well-documented... and books like The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg have talked in detail about how changing small habits can lead to bigger, beneficial lifestyles changes. In essence, it's pretty hard to just decide to change one day... so you have to sort of "hack your brain" and make small changes to your daily behaviors that can eventually lead to bigger change.
One of the most beneficial things I use in my life is a morning routine... Even if I'm waking up to doing nothing all day, I make sure to complete my daily wake-up routine.
For example... in the morning, as soon as I get out of bed, I immediately:
Make my bed
Do 20 pushups
Drink about 16 oz of water (which actually wakes me up much better than coffee)
Read from my daily devotional... I use this one

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
