FUN WITH MORNING ROUTINES !

Happy February ! :D

Firstly, if you're reading this snowed in like me right now - I feel you ! This is the most snow I can actually remember  experiencing so far in adulthood ?! Can't say I don't love playing with it like a kid- we need to honor our inner child's playfulness sometimes:).
 
J & I have been really tweaking our morning & evening routines at the moment since we're now staying with each other again. It's so interesting how your company can affect your habits & what you do when ! 

That being the inspiration for examining this topic - let's dive straight  in with one of those topics we've all had either positive or negative experience with - MORNING ROUTINES ! I want to start by saying  even though I am a morning person now, I definitely had to work on it & sometimes you need to listen to your body if getting up earlier means compromising your health in some way (again, I'm not a doctor!) ...however 9/10 times , sticking to a morning routine will 100% positively impact your day ! Why ? Well ,to name a few : better productivity, time for breakfast, less overwhelm ,having 'me time' before your daily routine/ commitments kick-in, time to decide what the priorities are that day & how you're going to make it happen, better sleep quality at night ...

The even better news is, it can actually be something you LOOK FORWARD to doing ! 

Ever had that narrative in your head telling you something like 'I'm not a morning person', 'exercise isn't for me' etc etc. then back it up with an excuse ?! Yeah I'm here to tell you that your inner thoughts & words to yourself are POWERFUL & if you tell yourself you can't do something - you're the only one who can change that narrative to  'actually, I can !'! 

Once you make the decision to go for it for YOU & your overall wellness ,thats the first step to making real change ! 

I want to share the top 5 aspects I switched to making morning routines actually fun (feel free to use as inspo !):

1 - Set out /have an idea of exactly what outfit I'm wearing to workout in the next morning (choose clothes with your fave mood-boosting colour or fit !)

2 - Choose a workout I actually ENJOY doing ! (if you need help finding your perfect match, go to the 'connect section of this website or fill in the form below!) 

3 - Make the bed FIRST THING when you wake up - this ensures you've accomplished something positive before you've even left the room !

4 - Change your alarm sound to your FAVE song & get up on your FIRST alarm (yes, we're all guilty of not doing this all the time, however it really helps practice that self-discipline!)

5 -  Have a healthy ,yummy & balanced breakfast that's pre-planned you love to eat & can't wait to eat !!!

There you have it ! My stripped-down top tips for the aspects I shifted to making mornings fun again - no matter how busy the day ahead ,keeping this time sacred to you will make you realise you also matter & so does looking after you ! (We'll be exploring how this ties into evening routines in the next entry too :D)

 As always, I'm curious to know what your top morning tips are too so feel free to share on any of my social media accounts or simply by commenting below :).

 Take care & we'll chat again next month ! :D

Love & light always,
