A (realistic) morning routine nobody tells you about: To-do list never ending long? “Morning routine what?? I need every minute of my 24 hours in a day that I can get.” Sounds familiar? A solid but realistic morning routine for Leading HER Way, focuses on setting the tone for the rest of the day AND is sustainable for the long run when it comes to our physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Here are 3 habits which you can apply, even BEFORE you get out of bed, tomorrow morning: 1. Rise and shine! Open the blinds and get sunlight in as soon as you can. This signals your body that it’s time to wake up. Morning light also boosts cognitive performance and focus. 2. Mindful minute(s): We get it, a full morning meditation would be ideal but doesn’t work for everyone, especially when you have kids. But believe us when we say, 2 minutes are better than no minutes! Sitting straight in your bed, in a comfortable position, connecting to your breath or physical sensations for a couple of moments, grounds your body and calms the nervous system. 3. Set an intention: After a couple of mindful moments, ask yourself “How do I want to feel when I go to sleep tonight?” Grateful? Content? Accomplished? Whatever it is, cultivate the feeling already in the morning! This involves consciously directing your thoughts and energy towards your desired outcome of ending the day, with the aim of increasing the likelihood of achieving it. And that’s that! No need to over-complicate your morning routine. Now, time to make yourself a nice cup of coffee, hydrate with lots of water and enjoy a healthy breakfast. PS: Pro-Tip: One thing that helps to get all this done and have a mindful start to your day: Not looking at the phone - unless it’s to turn on some relaxing music or a quick meditation 😉❤️
