morning routine that works

HOW TO DESIGN A MORNING ROUTINE THAT WORKS FOR YOU

I strongly believe that a great morning routine is essential to having a more productive day. I shared the exact morning routine that I started a few months ago. This morning routine basically saved my sanity.

As a first time mom, I was in a state of constant exhaustion and nothing I did seemed to be helping me have enough energy to get through the day. All of that changed when I started waking up earlier. And yes- it didn’t make sense to me either initially, but as I worked on my routine, I found that I not only had more energy but also was able to be way more productive throughout the day.

I will share with you my top tips to help you design a morning routine that will help you be more productive. More importantly, these are tips that you can customize to YOUR own life.

I am not here to tell you that waking up at a certain time is going to be best for you. What you will walk away with are the EXACT STEPS that I took to design a morning routine that worked for me.

If you would like to watch instead of reading, you can do so here:

GO TO BED EARLY

This first tip is a no brainer. If you want to wake up early, you really should go to bed early. Simply put, you need enough rest if you actually want to ENJOY waking up early.

I use app on my phone called Bedtime which has really helped me in developing a routine. I get a reminder 30 minutes before my bedtime which is a reminder for me to start winding down.

I also set it to do not disturb so that I do not get notifications when I am getting ready to sleep (helps to keep me off my phone because I get distracted a lot).

CREATE A NIGHT TIME ROUTINE

A nighttime routine will help you wind down for the night and make it easier for you to get to bed at your desired bedtime.

GO SLOW

Do not try to jump in at the deep end. If you have a goal for when you would like to start waking up, start with where you currently are at and adjust your wake time slowly. You can do this by about 15 minutes every couple of days to allow your body adjust to the changes.

DESIGN A MORNING ROUTINE THAT IS EASY & ENJOYEABLE

This is probably the most important step in creating a morning routine that works for YOU. Your morning routine does not have to be complicated and have 20 steps, you just have to make it something enjoyable so that you look forward to waking up each morning.

Here are some tips of activities that you can incorporate into your morning routine!

40 ideas to help you design a morning routine that works

KEEP THE SAME MORNING ROUTINE- EVEN ON WEEKENDS

When it comes to building habits, consistency is EVERYTHING. There are plenty of studies showing that keeping a consistent schedule helps you to be less irritable, have more energy and have better sleep results overall.

GIVE YOURSELF GRACE

Do YOU! Don’t try to wake up early because everyone else is doing it. I realize that waking up early and having a morning routine is sort of glamorized these days. But you really don’t have to do it if it is not important to you. There is nothing worse than forcing yourself to start your day early- and you do not even know why.

Find a WHY that is compelling enough for you and you will find it a lot easier to create a morning routine and start getting up early.

There you have it- the exact tips on how I was able to design a morning routine that works. I hope that you found this helpful.

“A lot of people think they have no platform.
You do.
Your platform is your kin, squad, colleagues.
Do the work close to home so you can have far-reaching consequences. We are most easily moved by the words that come out of the mouths of our loved ones. ”

A common objection I hear people give to starting a blog (or sharing their knowledge online) is...
Feeling the need to achieve some sort of 'expert status' before they can start sharing.
While knowledge and experience in your niche is crucial, imposter syndrome can often leave us feeling that we don't deserve a platform.
There are different types of experts and the fact that you have some experience and knowledge means that you are a couple of steps ahead of someone else. You might just be exactly what they've been looking for.
You don't need to be an expert to start, but you do need to start to be an expert!
I'm interested to know your thoughts on this!

Can I be honest with you?
This month marks one year since I started my business/ side hustle in earnest.
One year on, I’m nowhere near where I thought I’d be.
I envisioned life as successful working mom with a side hustle (You know team #multiplestreams 😁)
I figured I would get home everyday, feed my family, work on my business and still have time to fuel my spiritual, physical and social life.
Needless to say, a lot of my goals fell to the wayside as I figured out how to juggle it all.
Instead of feeling dissatisfaction and disappointment, I feel pride.
Proud about the fact that I tried something hard and still I’m standing.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you don’t always have to measure your success by your to do list or external metrics.
Life on this side of reality is messy, but if you keep at it, you’ll find the joy you’re looking for. Just don’t give up.
Let me know in the comments if you’ve had a similar experience.
