Literally every morning you control
how your day kicks off. Whether you start the day with a big bottle of water and
Lemon or a 30 minute creep on Facebook. You're setting the tone for your day. With a morning routine
That's right for you, you can change like the entire way that your day pans out. In this video
I want to go through 12 ideas of things that you can incorporate into your morning routine that will leave you feeling a lot more
energized
a bunch more inspired, so that you'll feel empowered to plan a morning routine for yourself
My first idea for your morning routine is to write down three wins,
three things that you're grateful for, and your three to-do's for the day. So this is something that I actually like to do
the night before. To give you an example
This is what one of my recent pages look like of my little daily journal type thing
Writing out three tiny little wins like even things like making
conversation with someone at the grocery store
All the bigger wins, like getting out of your comfort zone and going to a conference
I would especially recommend this to someone who just feels like they're constantly
like not doing enough or feels like they always need to be doing more. For me, writing these wins down has been like a total
game changer
It's just made me feel so much more on top of things and just like, "yeah like I am making small progress on things"
Nothing feels better than writing down a few things that you're grateful for and once again
it's training your brain to pick out the positive things not the negatives. And as for your to-do's,
I like to write out three to-do's of a day
I personally go for the method of: I must do this,
I should do that, and I want to do this
I made a whole video about writing out to-do's, so I'll link that in the description below
idea number two is to read 10 pages of a book. Make it a part of your morning routine to put on a cup of
tea sit down on your couch
Grab out a book, read through, highlight the things that stand out to you. Side note:
I have started a personal growth book club
Which I'll link in the description down below that if you want to read books you should join idea number
Three is get rid of your decisions. Have it the same thing for breakfast every single morning
Eliminate your choices when it comes to what you wear of work. Know
exactly what minimal makeup look at your wear of the morning especially in the morning you want to be spending your energy on the important
things I think is actually matter and not like what you're gonna wear
Or how you're going to do your makeup today. By eliminating decisions, you're making your morning so much smoother
And giving yourselves so much more energy to play with. The fourth thing that you can incorporate into your morning is
Morning pages or journaling. So morning pages is an activity and Lavendaire has a really good video in this
I know that she does it pretty consistently basically you write out three pages
It's a big stream of consciousness, no filtering, put down anything that crosses your mind. So for me
I can fully see the worth of morning pages, but I like having something more guided
And if you like that as well you might prefer doing journal prompt so there are tons of journal prompts on Pinterest just look up
Journal prompts and heat will come up or even just in Google
Journal prompts are really good because they put you down a direction that you may never have even thought about and you'll end up with
A stroke of insight as to like where your head's at or a plan that you want to undertake for the future. Idea number five
is working on a passion project because I am almost certain that you have something that you want to be doing it could be a
Bookstagram. It could be a YouTube channel. It could be a blog
It could be a small business. Take some time of a morning to do that. Idea number six is put your phone away
Genuinely cut yourself off from the little device that is constantly in your hand. My alarm goes off. I stop it.
I check the basics, if I have any messages, I might respond to those and then I literally physically turn my phone off like
I don't let myself go over like five minutes on my phone
And it's made my mornings so much more focused and productive. Idea number
Seven is to have a 10-minute cleaning routine, so it could be ten minutes before you leave for work
You pick up all the clothes on the floor and you wipe down the benches. Having a little ten minute cleaning routine of a morning
Can be such a good feeling
mainly when you get home of an afternoon and you walk into this clean and clear space. You can even throw in a timer to
Help yourself stay on track. Idea number eight is to have a liter of water. Water kickstart your metabolism
It keeps you hydrated and gives you a brain something to work with over mornings
And if you want to find out how much water your body actually needs, I'll link a little water calculator in the description, too
So I'd like to start out my day with water after my coffee mind you I dehydrate myself
And then I hydrate myself because it helps me to feel energized at a time when I really need
Assistance in feeling energized. Idea number nine is to go for a run. I know it's a revolutionary idea
I like running because you don't need to pay for a membership
It's easy to motivate yourself because you're essentially doing the same thing for a long period of time and there's really not much to it
Once you know how to move and breathe. Exercise is really important for you, for self-care purposes
I really don't need to tell you this
But if you are going through a patch in your life right now where you're feeling like off
Just like bleh, unmotivated, try incorporating exercise into your morning routine. And idea number ten is to write down ten ideas
Daily. So I mentioned this in my how to stay inspired and creative videos
But if you're struggling with creativity and you want to generate more ideas or you want to start doing something with yourself
Try writing ten ideas down daily
They don't even have to be life-changing like amazing ideas. This idea to write down that idea of the day
Is definitely taking from someone else, so I'll link it there and blog it in the description below and one day you'll probably write down
And I did that will stick that you'll be like yeah
Like I really want to do that. That you otherwise wouldn't have thought of how did not been
For your exercise of writing down ten ideas everyday in your morning routine
So those are my ten ideas for a life-changing morning routine. I hope that these have been helpful for you guys
