Ideas for your Morning Routine
Here are a few ideas that I enjoy practicing for my morning routine.
Mornings can be tough as a busy mom. It is easy to fall into a reactive mode. You’re tired and trying to get enough sleep and then your little ones wake you up. You immediately go into responding to their needs. Instead, the goal is for you to set the tone of your day by creating a morning routine. This probably will be difficult as a brand-new mom, so don’t get upset if you are struggling to do this. Although the sooner you begin setting the tone for your day the better you will feel.
5 ideas for your Morning Routine
- Meditate or Practice Visualization-I like to use the Insight Timer App and will listen to a 5–15-minute guided meditation or visualization to start my day.
- Prayer-You can choose to pray yourself or I have recently found the Holy Bible App to be a great one. It provides you with a verse each day, a video of a priest to explain the scripture in his/her own way, a separate blog post/reading, and then a prayer.
- Read-if you are in a business or working towards Self-Improvement there are numerous books that I could recommend or just take 10-15 minutes to read a book of your choosing.
- Journaling-I personally don’t like to journal but have found the 5-minute morning journal to be a good one for gratitude or writing down your 10 dreams each and every day.
- Breathe-Take 5 minutes while your coffee is brewing to practice deeper breathing like 360 breathing, or you can do this during your meditation as well
- Workout or Stretch-Get the blood flowing with a quick 5-minute workout or this stretch below
Get your children involved
Don’t allow your children to become your excuse for not practicing a morning routine. Instead get them involved in what you are doing. This way you are also helping them to set positive healthy habits while they are young.
