morning routine for a working person

I get to work early so that I can relax before work starts, because it's not fun to rush to work and fearing that I'll be late. I mean if I do that every day, it'll just program my brain to fear going to work

I did exactly that, by being there at the last minute, adding unfriendly environment i begun to hate going to that place

Now in a new place I arrive earlier to have time to smoke in peace and coool down before I start

But my lifestyle except diet it would be a stretch to call healthy

I wake up around 6am, brush my teeth, do a basic workout, eat food, get dressed, and then I go to work. I rarely drink coffee unless I'm dead tired, because if I drink too much I'll get migraines, so I use it sparingly.

I've never been to the gym before, but I'll do some stretches and a basic workout like pushups and weights. It's a low intensity workout, because I'll be running around at work so I'll burn off a lot of energy there, but if it's an office job then I think that having a higher intensity workout would be better, because you'll be sitting at a desk throughout the day and won't have much exercise otherwise.

I don't really eat sugary stuff in the morning, because it makes me really hungry before lunch (glucose from sugar causes insulin levels to spike, which causes the hunger), so I just eat something with protein in it before work, like eggs, meat, potatoes, sometimes leafy greens.

Then I get to work early so that I can relax before work starts, because it's not fun to rush to work and fearing that I'll be late. I mean if I do that every day, it'll just program my brain to fear going to work. So if I am used to being relaxed before work, on the rare occasions that I am actually late, I'm still calm before work. 

I get up at 6am, always, shower, dress, spend 10 minutes scrolling through emails and then go downstairs and unload the dishwasher and reload it and then leave the house to travel to work.

I always stop at Starbucks on my way to work and get a coffee as well.

I wish I could go to the gym before work, but that's not possible, so I go after and play Badminton once a week 

Having a dog really helps to get a good start to the day. But always leads to heated arguments on the weekends... He has figured out that laying down beside me, head on the pillow, and start whining and crying without end, an inch from my ear, is the most effective way to get me moving...

When i was working, i use to be up early and standing on the steps outside the gym, waiting for them to open, i'd do that 4/5 days a week.

But i'm retired now and have physical problems that restrict exercise. I've got a bike, but only use it as a trainer, up on a stand. But don't use it asmuch as i should.
