How to Develop a Morning Ritual
When all you want to do is drink coffee and watch Netflix all day, I’m here to tell you to get it together, Susan!
Morning Ritual:
1 Cup of Tea
3 Daily Achievable Goals
5 Deep Breaths
10 Minutes of Meditation
20 (or more) Minutes of Walking
60 Seconds of Self-Affirmation
Instructions:
I have found that when I stick to a routine, I thrive, but I will be the first one to tell you that a routine can be something different every day. You don’t have to do each step at the exact same time day after day, to me, that would be boring. I love to switch up the times, the teas, the affirmations, and the goals to ensure that I am able to adjust to all that life throws at me. I think it is important to be able to implement a solid morning routine to ground yourself for the rest of the day but not have the anxiety to have to bound yourself to a certain time or place. We get enough of that chaos in our daily work schedule of being constantly on the go.
How do I develop a routine?
First things first, be realistic with your goals and yourself when developing a new routine, if not, you can set yourself up for failure in the beginning. For a week straight, write out or be intentional with what your definition of routine will be. Then start to implement one or two actions at a time.
Benefits of a Daily Routine:
A daily routine can provide self-discipline.
A daily routine can provide better time management.
