21 Inspirational Daily Routine Quotes To Make Every Day Great

Be Inspired By These Daily Routine Quotes:

#1 – “Schedules are meant to HELP, not HINDER. Create them with YOUR LIFESTYLE in mind” – Chrissy Halton

QUOTE - Schedules are meant to help not hinder - so create them with YOUR lifestyle in mind

Have you ever tried to follow someone else’s schedule for something – because they had real success with it – only to find it made your life worse in some way?

This can happen so easily – because that schedule was made for that persons life. They may well have different needs – and if yours aren’t exactly the same, chances are it won’t work as well.

The truth is that you need to create your own schedule to make it work for you. You can use other peoples methods, of course, but tweak to meet your specific needs.

#2 – “Every day of our lives, we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would make all the difference” – Mignon McLaughlin

QUOTE - Every day of our lives, we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would make all the difference.

Every day, we wake up and go through the same routine.

We brush our teeth, eat breakfast, get dressed, and head off to work or school. It’s easy to fall into a rut and feel like we’re just going through the motions.

However, it’s important to remember that even small changes can make a big difference in our lives.

For example, if we take the time to walk to work instead of driving, we’ll get some exercise and fresh air. If we eat a healthy lunch instead of grabbing fast food, we’ll feel more energetic. And if we spend a few minutes talking to our co-workers or classmates instead of staring at our phones, we might make some new friends.

So the next time you’re feeling stuck in a rut, think about ways to shake things up and make those slight changes that could change your life for the better.

#3 – Wake up and smell the routine…

Quote - Wake up and smell the routine

#4 – “We are what we repeatedly do” – Aristotle

Quote - We are what we repeatedly do

Our habits define us, and if we want to be successful, we need to develop positive habits and break negative ones.

For example, let’s say you want to get in shape. You won’t see results if you only work out once in a while. However, if you make working out a part of your daily routine, you will eventually reach your goals.

The same is true for any area of our lives. If we want to achieve something, we need to be consistent in our actions.

So the next time you’re trying to develop a new habit, remember that success comes from repeating the same behaviour over and over again.

#5 – “It’s so free-ing when you can fit things into your life, rather than fitting your life around your chores” – Chrissy Halton

It's so free-ing when you can fit things into your life, rather than fitting your life around your chores

The trick is to create your days around what you want your life to be – and then add in the chores and other tasks that you HAVE to do – around your life.

So many of us work the other way around and put the stuff they HAVE to do first, and then fit in social stuff only if there are any gaps. This is a sure way to be disappointed as there will always not be enough time for the fun stuff.

Doing it the other way around means that you will make time for the HAVE-to’s because, well, they have to be done – but you’ll also prioritise what you want to do.

#6 – Wake up and shine…

Quote - Wake up and shine

#7 – “If you have good habits, time becomes your ally. All you need is patience” – James Clear

Quote - 254 - If you have good habits time becomes your friend

Good habits lead to good things…

Examples:

  • Drink a smoothie every day – your fruit and veg intake will rocket and you’ll get healthier
  • Walk 10,000 steps a day – you’ll get fitter over time
  • Clean a little of your home each day – you won’t have to spend hours cleaning at once, and you’ll always have a pretty clean home.

Etc…. – so what are you waiting for? Get some good habits going in your daily routine because in a few months from now you’ll be glad you did.

#8 – “Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow” – Doug Firebaugh

Quote - 249 - Every Day Do Something That Will Inch You Closer To A Better Tomorrow

#9 – “A lot can happen in a year. Whatever seems almost impossible today can be your new reality soon. Stay consistent and give 100%” – Gal Shapira

QUOTE - A lot can happen in a year. Whatever seems almost impossible today can be your new reality soon. Stay consistent and give 100%.

They often say that you over estimate what can be done in a day, but underestimate what you can do in a year.

I agree – because a day has a LOT going on – but even just one 5 minute change done regularly in your daily routine means 365 completed a year. That’s HUGE!

#10 – “My daily routine is to make every day the best day” – David Wolfe

QUOTE - My daily routine is to make every day the best day.

#11 – “Where you spend your attention is where you spend your life” – James Clear

Quote - Where you spend your attention is where you spend your life

#12 – Do something today that your future self will thank you for

Quote - do something today that your future self will thank you for

This quote is about taking action and working towards your goals, even when you might not feel inspired or motivated.

Although it can be tempting to wait until you feel like doing something, this quote encourages us to focus on the here and now, rather than putting things off for later.

In my daily life, I try to remember this quote by taking small steps towards my goals every day. Whether it’s a quick workout at the gym or a few minutes of reading before bed, I always try to do something that will benefit me in the long run. By doing this, I know that my future self will be grateful for the choices I’m making today.

As a result, I find that each day becomes easier and more productive than the last. So if you’re feeling stuck or uncertain about what to do next, just take a deep breath and think about how your future self will thank you for one small act of kindness or dedication today.

I promise that it will make all the difference in the world!

#13 – “Long term success is a direct result of what you achieve everyday. Goals provide your daily routine” – Rick Pitino

QUOTE - Long term success is a direct result of what you achieve everyday. Goals provide your daily routine

#14 – “Look for magic in the daily routine” – Lou Barlow

QUOTE - Look for magic in the daily routine

Do you find routines boring?

Lots of us do…

The thing is – they really are key to having an easier and more fulfilling life – when done properly.

So – how can you make your routine more fun?

Adding things in to it that you get excited about each day, that light you up – is key to making it work for you. If you struggle to do that – then make the things you already do mean something different and more positive to you.

Some ideas could be:

  • Exercise – get outside and walk if you love the fresh air and spend most of your day indoors sitting down.
  • Cook a great healthy meal each evening from scratch as a way to unwind from the day rather than feeling like it’s a chore.
  • Have your morning coffee outside for 5 mins – rather than rushing it in the chaos of getting the kids ready. Get up 5 mins earlier and you’ll gain the time needed…

QUOTE - A child reminds us that playtime is an essential part of our daily routine.

QUOTE - Your ability to discipline yourself to set clear goals, and then to work toward them every day, will do more to guarantee your success than any other single factor.

Quote - the secret of success is

#18 – “Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day” – Dalai Lama

QUOTE-Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day

Quote - Having a schedule

#21 – “Either you run the day or the day runs you” – Jim Rohn

Time to take control!

Look carefully at what you do each day, and tweak if it’s not working for you. You get to control a lot more than you might think…
