Let’s talk morning routines ☀️ Here’s what I’m up to: Most mornings it’s coffee—nice and hot decaf 😂 as caffeine sends my heart racing and puts me right over the edge. I’ve gone on hot lemon water kicks but it seems I’m back to coffee, perhaps for the Fall season. This is where I sit with my pile of “hell yes” to start the day—I begin by writing at least 3 gratitudes (sometimes more) then my plans for the day, mentally priming myself for what the day will generally look like—surprises so pop up but I find that having a general sense of the scaffolding of my day helps me to set my pace much like a runner in a race. I’ve also recently switched to an old-school composition book, and there is something childlike and nostalgic about it for me.
After journaling about what I am striving for in the day and what I am watching out for, tips from my favorite neuroscientist then I move onto morning reading. My morning reading is always personal development, whether for myself or for clients, I use it as my education and perspective time. Right now, I am diving deep into new book, Too Much, and find myself relating deeply to it in so many ways.
if I have some extra time in the morning, I will open my laptop and either cross a few to-do’s off the list or work on book revisions or writing, it somehow makes me feel like I’m getting a jumpstart on the world.
The it’s mom o’clock for me, where my little one wakes up and the morning routine shifts to a shared experience, I change gear, knowing that I will show up better for having taken this time for myself in the morning.
And shout out to for my new favorite mug 😉
☀️ What is your morning routine? Do you like it or does it need to change?
