If you’re looking to be more productive and have a healthier year in 2025 than you did in 2024, it all starts with your morning routine. If you’re someone that loves your sleep, finds it near impossible to drag yourself out of bed in the morning and constantly feel tired and sluggish, you’re not alone. The good thing is, this is easily changed as long as you’re consistent, dedicated and don’t give up. Changing routines and training your body isn’t easy, but you’ll find the more you push through with it, the more naturally it comes. Ensure you prioritise your sleep, so invest in a comfortable bed, high-quality bedding and make your bedroom a sanctuary. Then when morning comes, there are simple steps you can try that help you to get up and make the most of your day. In this article we take a look at the miracle morning routine for a healthy 2025.
Why Is The Miracle Morning Routine Important?
The Miracle Morning Routine is important as it sets the tone for your entire day, helping you start with focus, energy, and a positive mindset. You will find you achieve your goals faster, feel more positive and are healthier and happier.
What is the ‘Miracle Morning Routine’
The Miracle Morning Routine was popularised by Hala bestselling author and keynote speaker on a mission to ‘elevate the consciousness of humanity, one morning at a time.’ It is essentially a structured framework for starting the day with intention and purpose and is based on the acronyms S.A.V.E.R.S. This stands for Silence, Affirmations, Visualisation, Exercise, Reading and Scribing. It is essentially tapping deeper into how you think and feel and promoting healthy habits with this, focusing on your mindfulness and wellbeing from the inside out.
Step 1
Silence (5–10 minutes)
Spend 5-10 minutes when you first wake up staying still and letting your thoughts wander. You could meditate, practise deep breathing or pray if you’re religious. You can do this laying in bed with your eyes closed, or sit somewhere else in your home where you feel peaceful. If you find it helps, try a meditation app such as Calm or Insight Timer.
Step 2
Affirmations (5 minutes)
Once you’re feeling calm and grounded, it’s time to get some affirmations together. Spend about five minutes speaking or writing positive affirmations that align with your goals and values. This could be anything from “I am worthy of love and respect”, to “I am capable today of achieving my goals.” Repeat these three times each and really focus on the words you’re saying to help yourself really believe them.
Step Three
Visualization (5–10 minutes)
Visualisation can be an incredibly powerful way of helping your goals and ideal life come to fruition. Harnessing the power of manifestation, you should close your eyes and vividly imagine achieving your goals or living the life you’ve always dreamt of. Focus on the emotions you feel and the little details of these dreams and goals. You could create a vision board, write down notes or use guided visualisation tools to help inspire you.
Step Four
Exercise (10–30 minutes)
Now your mind is awake, it’s time to get your body active. Engage in a light exercise for ten to thirty minutes that will get you in the best shape to start the day. You could do pilates or a yoga routine, a quick stretching routine, go on a run, or head on a brisk walk around the block. Even ten minutes of working out in the morning can boost your endorphins and help you feel more focused and ready to face the day ahead.
Step Five
Reading (10–20 minutes)
Starting your day with even ten minutes of reading is a great way to expand your knowledge, inspire growth and motivate you for the day ahead. You should read personal development books, motivational articles or educational materials. This can be in the form of Kindle books, printed books, magazines or journals. If you don’t want to read, audiobooks are a great alternative and you can listen to these while making your breakfast for the day ahead. Remember a healthy diet is really important both for your physical and mental health. Try having a smoothie or green juice for breakfast for a nutritious start.
Step Six
Scribing (5–10 minutes)
The final step in the miracle morning routine is to spend some time writing down your thoughts and feelings. Journaling can help you to clarify your thoughts, reflect and track your progress. You can write about your goals, lessons learned, creative ideas and what you’re grateful for in life. You can use a simple notebook for this, invest in a bullet journal or get a digital journaling app to help you out.
What are your thoughts on the Miracle Morning Routine? A great way to be more healthy in 2025, it can take a while to set your alarm for a bit earlier and follow all the steps. Remember to stick with it even on days when you just want to crawl back under your duvet and soon the rewards will pay off!
