Brain expert Jim Kwik includes the following habits in his morning routine:
- Wait to check your phone until 1 hour after you wake up.
- Remember your dreams.
- Make your bed.
- Brush your teeth with the opposite hand.
- Drink a glass of water.
- (I would add meditation in this spot.)
- Take a cold shower. (Dave Asprey recommends 1 minute of cold water hitting your forehead and chest — after you’ve had your usual hot shower.)
- Make a brain tea. (I prefer Bulletproof Coffee with Bulletproof Brain Octane Oil and Bulletproof Grass-fed Ghee.)
- Journal. (I write in my gratitude journal.)
- Read.
What tips would you add to the morning routine?
I like to add surya namskar (a set of yoga practices to thank the Sun) in the morning routine.

I just do the simple back stretch (I dont know what it’s called) where I am seated and bend the neck to the waist one vertebra at a time. Then look back on each side extending my arms as I do so. Then the cat strech and the child’s pose 🙂
