Top 5 Morning Meditations on YouTube for a Calm Start

Let’s be honest: people place a little too much pressure on mornings. You’ve heard the advice. “Develop a morning routine!” “Set intentions!” “The quality of your entire day hinges upon what you do immediately after waking up!” It’s not that this is bad advice. It’s just a little perfectionist-y. And chances are, your real life mornings don’t feel as picturesque as Cinderella waking up and having a family of bluebirds bathe and dress her.

In reality, you probably spend your mornings trying to mentally plan out the day or stressing about things that haven’t even happened yet. And maybe finding time for self-care things feels as though it can only be tacked on to the end of the day, when your body is a knot of tension and your mind is equally twisty from all the mental hurdles you jumped through.

But it turns out, there’s a more doable medium between a perfect morning and a stressful one. Think of your energy like a boomerang—you have to pull back before you can move forward.That’s exactly the effect of these morning meditations on YouTube. And they take only a few minutes to entirely shift your mood.
