My Must-Do Daily List That Changed Everything
This time last year, I was really going through it—personally and professionally.
Life had taken me for a rough ride, and my anxiety was at an all-time high.
Even simple things, like going to the store, felt overwhelming. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find my center.
So I made a decision.
Instead of trying to overhaul my entire life, I added three simple “must-dos” to my morning routine—non-negotiables that grounded me when nothing else could.
⸻
1. Get outside + walk in nature
Movement has always been my most reliable tool for battling anxiety.
Getting outside each morning—fresh air, quiet, trees, birds—helped shift the stuck energy in my body and clear the fog in my mind. It supported both my mental and physical healing.
⸻
2. Get myself ready for the day
A shower.
Fresh clothes—even if it was a clean lounge set.
I know it sounds basic, but when you’re really going through it (and you work from home), it’s so easy to slip into complacency with your self-care.
Taking those few minutes each morning helped me feel human again, grounded again, me again.

3. Eat a nutritious meal before work
I can’t tell you how many days I used to hit 3 p.m. running on nothing but coffee and maybe one glass of water.
Fuelling my body before sitting down at my desk changed everything. My energy. My mood. My clarity.
⸻
I know these might seem like small things…
but the impact was anything but small.
My anxiety began to ease.
My brain fog lifted.
I felt better—physically, mentally, emotionally.
And slowly, both my personal and professional life started shifting in beautiful directions.
Sometimes the most powerful transformations start with the most basic steps.
