Hello Sunshines!
I think routines are important, they help bring stability to our lives in the midst of what could be quite chaotic. I am a very organized person (most of the time), a very strong ‘J’ if you will (Myers-Briggs) and I find structure helpful. For me, a well-balanced morning routine helps me to be more productive during the day.
Here goes my morning routine for a productive day!
FIRST: I start of my mornings by waking up of course! I’ve been trying to break the habit of instantly reaching for my phone. It’s important to me to spend some quiet time with God and then myself, before letting the rest of the world in. This time allows me to reflect inward, and allow positivity into my mind and space.
SECOND: I check all of my social Media apps; from Instagram to Snapchat! This happens while I’m still in bed. As soon as I’m out of bed I have to be sure to make up my bed. It’s the first task I accomplish in the morning. (I‘ve heard that accomplishing ten small tasks within the hour of waking up makes you more productive. So far so true).
THEN: Water and my morning drink! My morning drink changes day-by-day. Today I had vanilla Iced coffee, in my favorite mug! (Yes it is from the t.v. show F.R.I.E.N.D.S., one of my friends gifted it to me for christmas).
(I also enjoy candles in the morning)
After: Morning RUN! Now let me be honest, I sometimes skip out on this, other days my run turns into more of a walk and other days morning runs are done in the evening. Its human nature. I will say though, moving in the morning be it running or yoga or whatever, makes me feel amazing during the day. Today I went early enough to catch the sunrise!
And Now: BREAKFAST! I love food! Always have and always will. On this day I had my current favorite thing: Avocado over toast with chia seeds and black-pepper. SO GOOD!! By breakfast time I’m downing my third tumbler of water.
Finally: Shower! It’s summer, and running out doors makes me feel icky, so by then a cool shower is not just welcomed it’s necessary!
That’s it folks! My simple morning routine! What’s your morning routine like? Leave me a comment and let me know!
Thanks for reading till the next time, be brave, be true, be you!
