My personal Morning rituals
What should you be doing with your mornings before you start your hectic day? You could probably ask ten different people and get ten different answers. I guess it depends on your daily goals and my number 1 goal is to have a little bit of peace during my day. Mornings set the tone for the entire day. Make sure you start yours the right way. Doing something for you!
Here are some rituals I like to engage in to make sure I get my daily dose of peace. I think everyone can benefit from these daily habits.
- Wake up early enough that everyone else is still sleeping! Preferably one hour before you wake your family up
- Fix yourself a cup of coffee, green tea, or a smoothie(preferably made the night before for the smoothie option, people are sleeping!)
- Watch the sunrise
- Read the paper, check your emails and social media
- Spend ten minutes stretching or doing light yoga
- Take a long shower
- Get dressed, pick something feminine and stylish yet comfortable. When you look good, you feel good and vice versa!
- Wake your family and take on the world!
Before you hit the door, if you have time, do eat breakfast. If not, take it to go. How can you be a rock star at work if all you can focus on is how hungry you are? And yes, make up your bed. You will feel better when you come home to the sanctuary of your bedroom and your bed has been made!
