For people with ADHD, a solid routine can be a huge help. Knowing exactly what I have to do in the morning propels me out of bed and helps me prepare for the day. I try to take the same simple steps each day: hop in the shower, get dressed, eat a good breakfast. I think of my morning routine as a way to warm up my brain for the work ahead.
And although caffeine is a stimulant that's been shown to potentially help adults with ADHD, I try to avoid drinking too much in the morning as I've discovered it personally heightens my anxiety, which can make my thoughts erratic and affect my ability to sit still. When I do need that extra boost though, a mug or two of green tea brings me to a perfect level of alertness.
