How we start our days can set the entire temperament and pace for the remainder of it.
Below are two morning routines that often I find myself participating in.
Morning Routine #1
-
Wake Up 1 hour before I need to be somewhere.
-
Pick up my phone, check Instagram, Reddit & scan my emails.
-
Wake the kids, shower, eat some breakfast, and get my 6 year old ready and out the door for school.
Morning Routine #2
-
Wake up 2-3 hours before I need to be somewhere.
-
Sit and meditate for 15 minutes.
-
Hop on the bike, get on a yoga mat, or do something else to get the heart moving.
-
Time permitting, enjoy a cup of coffee on the back patio and write a bit.
-
Wake the kids, shower, eat some breakfast, and get my 6 year old ready and out the door for school.
My goal is, more often than not, to make mornings look like the latter.
