FROM SLUGGISH TO SUPER-POWERED!
3 ways to transform your morning routine.
Don’t you just love that elusive perfect morning?
You know what I’m talking about…when you’ve accomplished so much, only to look at your phone and discover it’s only 10 a.m.!
Suddenly, you start wondering what everyone is always complaining about. This morning routine thing is a piece of cake, you say to yourself.
Then tomorrow comes and brings reality with it. You’re quickly reminded just how rare those productive mornings can be. Did yesterday really happen? Was it a dream? How do you get back to that perfect place?
Fear not, it’s possible to transform your morning routine in 3 simple steps, sans stress, and I am going to tell you how.

- Get out of bed, sleepy head!
First things first, you have to get up early. Making more time in the a.m. gives you breathing room to actually enjoy getting ready. This isn ’t hard if you know how to go about it. Set goals and start small.
Try setting your alarm clock 15 minutes earlier for a week or two, then up it to 30 minutes for another two weeks. Remember … slow and steady wins the race.
Making more time in the a.m. takes the stress out of getting ready. - Enjoy those MOMENTS of GRATITUDE.
Now that you’re up, don’t check your phone or turn on the TV unless youabsolutely have to – like your job requires it kind of have to – and resist the temptation. YOU CAN DO IT!
Consider the first 15 minutes of your day as sacred. Sit outside, read something that inspires you, write, meditate, do some light yoga … just be in your body and, most importantly, be grateful.
Spending the first waking moments of your day in gratitude makes the morning – and life – better. - HYDRATE – and we aren’t talking caffeine.
Hungry? No matter what your diet grab a big ‘ol glass of room temperature water, preferably with lemon, and down it as soon as you get up. You’ve been sleeping for, hopefully, seven to nine hours and you haven’t had anything to drink. Your body needs hydration.
Don’t drink any coffee until you drink water and eat something!
Coffee (fuel) is the first thing we want, but pouring caffeine into an empty system is major adrenal overload. Water and a smoothie or toast or eggs gives your body a solid foundation and a better landing spot for caffeine.
These suggestions will take no more than 30 to 45 minutes, and in that short timespan you can set yourself up for a super productive morning.
Add some time for exercise and cuddling with your family, and you’ll be amazed by the newfound pep in your early morning step.
