Summer morning beach ideas:

Beach workout: Take your workout this morning to the beach, instead of going to the gym to workout or doing one at home. Enjoy your workout with beautiful scenery and the morning breeze.
Watching the sunrise: Have a magical moment this morning by watching the sunrise from the beach. I mean, think about the view!
Enjoy your cup of coffee: If coffee is non-negotiable for you in the morning, then why not treat yourself to a coffee and enjoy it with an ocean view? I mean that sounds amazing!
Have a breakfast picnic: Instead of having a bowl of cereal for breakfast this summer morning, switch it up and have breakfast in a picnic setting on the beach. Invite some friends to make it extra fun and enjoy your morning.

Morning Ocean Swim: Cold plunge in the ocean: cold plunges have been the trending wellness to-do list lately blowing up on social media. Instead of doing them on a bathtub filled with icy water, why not try the cold ocean?
Morning beach walk: take a moment of relaxation and start your morning slow and peaceful and enjoy a morning beach walk. Invite a loved one to catch up and talk and unpack life lately or your summer plans. You can also share this summer bucket list and see if they are down to join.

In the comfort of your own home:

Watch the sunrise from your bedroom window: Set your alarm to the necessary time so you don’t miss the beautiful sunrise in the morning. Honestly, I did myself this morning, and the simple sunlight just brought me so much happiness and peace.
Grow your faith and spend time with God: If you have been looking to grow your faith and spend time with God, I suggest you create a morning routine this summer that puts time aside dedicated to the Lord. One way to spend time with him and grow your faith is by reading the Bible and praying. Have a conversation with him and be vulnerable.
Document your summer by journaling daily every morning: write down your feelings, plans for the summer, and people you have met or hung out with. Check up with yourself during your mornings, and write a gratitude list sharing the beautiful moments you are grateful for. It’s fun keeping a journal and looking back at a new year on what you were up to and the ways you have grown ever since.
Spring clean: if you have been procrastinating cleaning up that huge pile of clutter in the corner of your room, then use this time to do so. A clean space means a clean and decluttered mind.
Create a new breakfast recipe: if you want to have some fun in the kitchen this morning, then I recommend trying making a new breakfast recipe that you have never made before. Look on Pinterest for inspiration. Better yet make your recipe, and give it a name!
Volunteer to make the whole family breakfast: a way to bring happiness is by serving others, volunteering to do something nice for others without getting anything back for you. Plan the night before what to cook, and wake up early before others so you can prepare.
Enjoy a morning pool day: a dip in the pool this morning sounds pretty good.
Make a mocktail to enjoy beside the pool: add to the aesthetic of the pool day with a cool, refreshing mocktail.
Water the plants and garden: do you have plants you neglecting? They probably need your attention and TLC. I have a peace lily at home that I was neglecting. I was procrastinating by giving it water or changing its soil. So what I did was use my time during my morning routine to go outside, get some fresh air, and morning sun and do something productive and water my plant and change its soil. I’m telling you my mood lifted after such a simple act. So if you need something to take care of, or be productive this summer, then use the time in the morning to take care of your plants and garden.

Have a movie morning: I know it sounds weird, but hear me out: instead of a movie night this summer, try a movie morning. Pick a movie that you can watch with family or friends, or enjoy solo. I would suggest having this after you have eaten breakfast so you do not eat snacks so early in the morning. Here are some recommendations for movies to watch in movie morning
Do an everything shower: an everything shower is doing all the maintenance tasks such as washing your hair, shaving your armpits, bikini area and legs, skincare, footcare, scrubbing the dead skin off your body using a body scrub, putting on a facemask, lip masks, eye patches etc. Create a summer glow up to make sure your beach or pool day is ready.
Make your acai bowl: acai bowls can be quite expensive, so make one yourself. This is the way more fun option. Use these inspirations here and start creating.
Read a book: if one of your goals this year is to read more books then I encourage you to begin reading a book during your morning routine this summer. It’s better to read in the morning as you are less distracted, you start your morning slowly, and it is better to get the book out rather than scroll through your phone in the morning.
Begin a workout challenge for the summer: even though it’s summer, you don’t want to neglect moving your body and getting some workouts done. Make it more fun by challenging yourself to a workout challenge. There are plenty on YouTube that you can watch or if you know any in your local area then sign up. Invite your friends or family to join.
Create a wake-up morning playlist: what’s summer without music? Use music to lift your spirit this summer morning. Wake up, dance and go. Listen to some music when you prepare breakfast, work out, be in the shower, or just lie out in the sun on the beach or poolside. If there are festivals that you attending and want to learn the lyrics more, then create a playlist to familiarize yourself with the artist’s lyrics and send to friends. On Spotify choose the collaboration option so friends can also add to the playlist

Summer morning outside activities:

Attend morning dance sessions: I love to dance. It’s a fun way to move your body, listen to music and perform. You sneak in a workout without even realising it – which are my kind of favourite workouts. Sign up to your local dance studios and attend some classes. This is also a great way to meet new people and make new friends.
Go to the gym: dust off the brain fog and fatigue in the morning and increase your energy by going to the gym and completing a workout. The act of putting in the effort of going out of the house, attending the gym, and completing something difficult will have you achieve something for the day, and now you have the energy to carry on your day. Afterwards, treat yourself to some breakfast to nourish your body.
Invite someone out for breakfast and have a breakfast date: is it your priority this summer to have less screen time but rather be more present and spend more time with your loved ones? Well, one way to do that is to invite someone out for a breakfast date. Go to your local café and enjoy breakfast. Talk, catch up and open up to each other. Make it even a challenge to try different breakfast spots and menus around your area.
Take your dog for a morning walk: I would call this one hitting two birds with one stone. While your dog is getting some exercise and happy time being outside and taking a walk, you are too. Enjoy while listening to music or your favorite podcast.
Go out on a solo coffee date: I challenge you; instead of going out with friends on your usual coffee spot. Challenge yourself to go by yourself, to a coffee spot you have never gone before.
Take a morning bike ride: sorry to those who don’t know how to write a bike or don’t have a bike to ride, you might be sitting out on this one. Maybe you can make it your mission to learn so you can participate in this activity. But if you can enjoy a morning bike ride around your area, or a beautiful destination with loved ones while enjoying the beautiful sunrise, wind and scenery around you.

Now that you know what to do this summer, which activity will you be prioritizing and doing first? What is your summer bucket list and did I mention them?
