Trying to Find the Perfect Morning Routine That Actually Sticks

I've been on a bit of a quest lately to nail down a morning routine that feels good and actually helps me start the day on a positive note. I used to jump out of bed and rush through everything, but that just left me feeling frazzled. So, I’ve tried sprinkling in little things like a quick stretch, brewing a cup of my favorite coffee, and even jotting down a few things I’m grateful for.

The tricky part is consistency. Some days it flows perfectly, and others, well, hitting snooze wins. I’m thinking maybe it’s about making the routine flexible enough to fit different moods rather than rigid. Also, I’m curious if anyone else has found that one small habit that makes a big difference in how their day unfolds?

How do you build a morning routine that feels natural and not like a chore? Any quirky habits or must-dos that have stuck with you over the years?
