Morning routines can improve mental stability and well-being

Experts and wellness coaches suggest that establishing consistent morning routines can significantly improve mental stability and increase opportunities for success.

Wellness coach Chihiro Hasegawa emphasizes that luck can be cultivated through small daily habits, such as tidying one's environment, practicing gratitude, and taking small actions like morning jogging. She posits that these habits help individuals notice opportunities and maintain a positive mindset.

Dr. Hiroyuki Kobayashi, a professor at Juntendo University, notes that routines reduce the mental energy consumed by constant decision-making. By automating simple tasks—such as drinking water upon waking or organizing a workspace—individuals can stabilize their autonomic nervous system. Kobayashi draws parallels to elite athletes like Shohei Ohtani, who use specific physical routines to maintain composure and return to a baseline state during high-pressure situations.
