7 ways I’m Boosting My Morning Routine

OPEN THE BLINDS & BEGIN THE DAY

Ugh, I can’t hit the alarm clock any faster to snooze before getting out of bed. Does that sound familiar to some of you? Raise your hand. Yeah me too 🙂 Could be do to my late nights. lol! I like staying up and eating double chocolate chunk brownies with a glass of milk for dessert while reading blog posts.

It’s fun to lay in bed and watch reruns of Seinfeld, American Ninja Warrior, cooking shows from Chef Lidia Bastianich or a Chris Pratt movie marathon. I must admit all my late night shenanigans of desserts, TV and inadequate amount of sleep…everything hits the fan in the morning. (cue the silent screaming)

It’s true, a positive attitude, healthy food and sleep make the biggest difference in how you feel.

Recently, I decided the best investment to make is in myself so I started taking my blogging and writing more seriously by publishing blog posts every MWF. With my new schedule, this means my work week is SUPER busy. I need to make sure each day starts off right because gathering relevant and current blog topics is rather stressful if I’m not fully prepared.

I want to produce genuine, good quality and relatable content so it’s important for me to begin the day on a positive note. Starting the day off right leads to me meeting deadlines and staying productive causing me to finish more in the day than I intended, which is a huge plus!

7 Ways I Boost My Morning Routine

1. Go to bed early

   • Being well rested makes it easier to get out of bed & get an early start

2. Eat dinner before 8pm

   • Proper digestion helps to eliminate the bloated feeling I get in the morning, which slows me down and takes away from eating a healthy breakfast

3. Listen to Music

   • Getting dressed to my favorite tunes pumps the blood and adds joy in my step, music and podcasts are cool physical ways to increase your confidence too

4. Say positive phrases aloud

   • Words are powerful because their is life in the tongue, so I make sure my day begins with prayer and self-love affirmations

5. Get dressed early

   • Instead of lounging in my PJs, wearing my OOTD makes me feel prepared and taken care of, which is a great mood booster

6. Breakfast

   • I always function better when my belly is filled because physical nourishment eliminates distractions and helps me concentrate better

7. Digital Detox

   • I don’t check social media or emails until after I’m dressed. This method puts me first, taking care of my needs before venturing into the online world and my busy blogging/writing activities

Whether you work from home or a 9-5 shift, it’s super valuable to make the most of your morning routine. Find ways to sneak in self-care tactics, that way you’ll feel like you’re taking care of you and not just hopping out of bed to go serve people. Yes, it’s important that we serve others because it’s a form of giving back, just make sure to serve yourself too.

The beauty of morning routines is the customization that comes along with it, so play your favorite song, add some fruit to your corn flakes or even make a little mini pamper routine, just make more time for you.
