What does a healthy morning
Routine look like when you work from home, you can set your own schedule and you're an
entrepreneur? I think it looks like this.
You get up at five a.m., make your bed every day without fail.
You do an hour of insanely intense workouts and then you meet with the mindset coach like
Gandhi on a Zoom call to get ready for your day.
Absolutely not.
Just kidding.
That's a bunch of hogwash.
You do not have to get up at five and you do not have to work out for an hour.
I mean, you can if you want to, but none of those things are must haves for a healthy
morning routine.
When I was doing the research for this video, I really wanted to call it the
millionaire's morning routine because a healthy morning routine truly is a
millionaire's morning routine.
But as I looked at YouTube, that headline was just so overused, and I think we all want
health, right?
We want peace, joy, sustainability.
Not just a million dollars.
Although I'm here to tell you you can have both.
Do not shortchange yourself, but truly, when you put your passions, your health, your joy
first. A lot of times the million dollars comes doesn't mean we don't need to work
hard. Oh yes, you do.
But you should work strategically and you should have a great, healthy morning routine.
Today's video is definitely different than what you're used to.
It's basically a vlog of my entire morning routine.
I cannot wait to show you.
Let's get into it.
So the first thing I do is I get out of bed when that alarm clock goes off around six
forty five. There is really no other way to do it, but just get out of bed, then I make
my bed. Now I'll be honest, some days I don't like being completely honest here, but
sometimes I do. It just depends on the day and how rushed I feel, or you know, how I
want to prepare for that day.
So sometimes I make it.
Some days I do not.
Then I head into the bathroom.
I get ready for the day.
And what this looks like for me is, you know, I get dressed first of all, and then
I'm at the sink, washing my face, brushing my hair.
And these two things as small as they are, are so important because they wake me up.
Like if I don't brush my hair, if I don't do something with it, I am not awake.
I just want to go back to bed.
So even if this is a hairstyle, I'll change later.
Like, for example, on this day, I have to film, so I'm going to come back, take my hair
out, I'm going to use one of my curling ones there.
But right now, I don't need to do that because right now is my early early morning
routine. And that includes taking this little girl to her school bus stop, which I
thoroughly enjoy wouldn't trade it for the world.
Oh, and part of my routine is water.
I drink a ton of water.
My goal is to drink around sixty four ounces in the first three hours of the morning.
This cleanses my body and then I'm getting my face ready.
I'm washing my face, then I'm out in the hall, I'm getting my daughter collecting her
to go outside and we're going to head to the bus stop.
And by now it's around six, fifty five or seven o'clock and we are ready to head to the
bus stop. She is excited to head out with me.
This is my time with her where we just kind of get a few minutes before she goes to
school and we talk about the day and I encourage her.
I tell her to be strong, to enjoy her day, to be herself and to just enjoy it.
So we head off.
If it's a cold day, I won't lie.
I take the car even though the bus stop is right near the front door.
But yeah, so we hop in the car we drive there.
By now, it's the sunrise is coming up because we have daylight savings, which
stinks. And then she's off.
She's off just like that on the bus.
And then I am heading back to the house.
Sometimes I'll take a little detour and drive down the road for five minutes just to
catch the sunrise, especially if it's beautiful.
This is just getting some quiet time in some tranquility and and that part of the morning
is critical. And here I am with our German Shepherd.
So one of our businesses is training and raising AKC registered German Shepherd, the
working line from East Germany.
So I helped train him a little bit in the morning and here he is again at the top of
the stairs. He knows that I'm about to head into my morning routine, so by now it's seven
fifteen. I am making coffee, cleaning up the kitchen.
This is something I do if I haven't clean the kitchen the night before had the chance.
I'll do that. And now I'm making my coffee, which is just a simple little latte mixture
of cinnamon, local raw, organic honey.
Everything we eat and drink is clean, organic, non-dairy.
That's milk Adamiya, which is non-dairy macadamia nut milk.
The best milk seriously that you can have.
It's non-dairy milk, Adamiya macadamia nut milk.
And here I am enjoying my first cup of coffee and I'm about to take another sip
right about now.
Just because it's so, so good.
I've got to take a minute to thoroughly enjoy that coffee.
Now, it's time for my routine.
So that looks like really three things yoga, stretching, reading the word and prayer, and
then during prayer, I am visualizing I am praying over my day the people I work with.
And of course, here's Louie kindly interrupting my morning routine.
The sweetest dog ever for a big giant German shepherd.
He is the best, so he hangs out with me.
He is part of this and I absolutely love it.
I love his company, so I'm stretching, and right now I am four months pregnant, so I'm
doing prenatal yoga.
I'm following a routine on YouTube that I found, and the book I read is the word.
This is the nive the Jesus Bible by Zonder Van.
There really is no better inspiration for me than the word of God.
You know, everything good in my life comes from God.
I acknowledge that.
And whenever I started my morning with the word, I can't begin to tell you how good my
day got. And I've been doing this consistently for two years.
Oh. Ok, so by now, it is around seven, forty five or eight o'clock, I am back in the
bathroom getting ready if I have to film, so I'm redoing my hair makeup now.
I'm ready, ready for a day of filming and I'm back to drinking tons of water, right?
Sixty four ounces in the first three hours and here I am with my husband on our
breakfast date.
We do this every morning.
Critical to spend some time with your spouse.
Hang out. Get to know them.
And then it's time for me to start my workday, which I usually do by nine o'clock.
So here I am.
Filming today was a long day of filming.
We actually had to re film because the first six videos were filmed without audio.
So, yeah, that's the fun life that you don't see all the time in the entrepreneur's world.
But I hope this helps you.
I hope this morning routine video inspired you to make a routine that is your own one
that you enjoy. I can't stress out enough and really start your day there, not with
work, because that's when your day is so much more peaceful and tranquil.
And it doesn't matter what goes wrong because you started the day, well, you got
yourself grounded and centered.
And that's what this morning my set routine video is all about.
Whenever I used to just plunge into work years ago, I was constantly reactive, not
proactive. I was driven by what happened to me, and then I would flip out I would give
up. But really, when you start your day from a place of not letting work, control you,
work doesn't control you and you can actually say no so much more easily because
you started from that place of controlling your own morning.
So I cannot stress this enough how much this works.
Creating your own morning routine and starting there.
Not with work.
I hope you enjoy that look at my morning routine, and I hope that it inspired you to
set your own healthy morning routine.
You absolutely don't need to make my routine yours.
And one of the best tips I could give you is don't put any pressure on your morning, you
know, if it doesn't go as planned.
So what? Tomorrow is a new day.
You get a chance to start all over again.
So treat your days just like that.
Give yourself patience.
Give yourself the room to fail and try again.
And when the days are shorter, let's say you're out traveling.
Maybe it's a holiday.
Maybe you're sick that day.
You're just not feeling it.
Skip everything but the core of what brings joy to your day.
And for me, that is sitting down, praying, expressing gratitude and reading the word.
So even if I only get five minutes of that in my day to start my day, my day is still
amazing. So on the days where it's really tough to get that whole hour and a half or so
routine in there, start there and never consider your day lost.
Every day is a chance for a new beginning.
Your day is what you make it.
So let's make it great.
