The Morning Routine That Changed Everything (It's Simpler Than You Think)
Too busy to read, listen to the audio below:
For years I skipped a morning routine and thought it needed to be something crazy like an hour of meditation, sauna, cold plunge, 1hr workout etc. And then I became a mom and realized how important it is to take time for me before the day even begins! So, I built one small morning routine for myself, and it changed how my entire day felt.
Where I Started
I anchored my morning with three simple things. Water first thing. A high protein meal and then collagen coffee so I felt fuelled and energized before I got busy with anything else. That was it at first. Small, doable, nothing fancy. And that is exactly how I start with my clients, picking something small and doable for their mornings to support their overall goals.
How It Grew
Over time I added to my morning routine and it can be ever changing based on my goals. Now I listen to affirmations while I get ready. I do a few light stretches. I take the dog outside. Then I have my water, high protein breakfast and coffee. By the time my son is up and his routine starts, I already feel prepared instead of scrambling. Whereas most moms I talk to wake up stressed, need to take care of their kids or family and do absolutely nothing for themselves. So how do you think their day will continue? Will they feel great and have energy to go to work or get their to-do list done? Probably not. That's why I love helping moms make changes, so they can feel strong, confident and energized throughout their day!
Why This Matters So Much
Most moms build routines for their kids. Bedtime routines. Meal routines. School routines. But when it comes to themselves, there's nothing. No anchor. No foundation.
Your routine isn't a luxury. It's the foundation everything else stands on. When you start your day feeling prepared instead of behind, that feeling carries into everything after it.
You Don't Need a Big Routine
You don't need an hour to yourself or a perfectly quiet house. Start with one thing. Water when you wake up. One deep breath before you check your phone. Build from there. My routine started with under 10 minutes and so can yours!
