Wow so many examples of a great morning routine. cold sea simming, meditation, calling parents with cat and croissant... I'm envious :) My morning "ritual" is the following: I wake up between 5 or 8 either by my alarm or one of my child. If I'm the first to rise then depending on my mood I get up and browse mindlessly some website(eg. HN) or if I have the upper hand on my concious that day I resist the temptation and just stare till my mind begins to turn. I continoue to do this until I'm nudged by family or work obligations to dress up and go downstairs. I either go early before everyone wakes or a little later after everyone woke up or very late so I can help dressing them up, help make breakfast and drink a coffee with wife. By then I realize I will be very late so I reculantly start my one hour commute to work. When my back starts to ache every night I start again my morning exercises which I am able to get up or not, and do it until the pain goes away then stop it as I want to sleep more and fantasizing about how good my shape would be if I would continue morning exercises instead of sleeping. Meh :(
