MASTER YOUR MORNING ROUTINE
/“An extraordinary life is all about daily, continuous improvements in the areas that matter most.” -Robin Sharma
#1. Make your morning work for you. We are all so beautifully unique and lead different lives, so why would our morning routines look the same? Devise a routine that is practical for you!
#2. Start the night before. A day unplanned often leads us fumbling from one activity to the next and wondering where the day went. Layout those exercise clothes, put out that meditation cushion and have the smoothie ingredients ready to go.
#3. Mornings are our most productive time of the day. In the morning our cortisol is the highest so ideally, this is when you have the most energy and motivation. It’s great to use the mornings to proverbially, “eat that frog” and tackle the harder tasks first.
#4. Get inspired! Pick a selection of the following ideas to create a morning routine that gets you excited to jump out of bed;
MOVE
Starting your day with a workout, stretch or a walk around the block, undeniably has its benefits, mentally and physically. Other activities could include;
- Exercise class
- Movement you enjoy
- Weights
- Foam roll
- Movement in nature
REFLECT
A combination of the following will allow you to regroup, rethink and reflect;
- Meditation
- Gratitude
- Visualization
- Affirmations
- Journaling
- Reading
NOURISH
Your body is your temple so ensure you nourish it before you get your day started;
- Hydrate
- Nourishing breakfast
- Tongue scrape
- Oil pull
- Self-massage/ dry brushing
- Consuming inspirational content
And lastly, remember to have fun with it! There’s no right or wrong way as long as you’re creating a routine that brings you joy.
Yours in health and wellness,
