Last week we talked a little about morning routines and I shared a video that guided you through an example morning routine. I figured I would take some time to go into more detail about the importance of morning routines and to offer some ideas so that you can create your own routine that inspires and works for you and your lifestyle.

What is a morning routine and why should I have one?

A morning routine, as the name suggests, is a series of activities that you do every morning, which help you start your day of well. 

A lot of times, especially when we are tired or busy, we sleep until the last possible moment, jump out of bed, and rush around to get out of the door. Our morning feels rushed and stressful. 

On the other hand, when we take time for a morning routine, we have the opportunity to wake up and get our day started in a peaceful and intentional way.

The tone we set in the morning, follows us into the rest of our day. If we feel stressed and rushed getting out the door, our whole day will be colored by that same feeling of stress. If we feel calm and relaxed in the morning, we will bring that feeling into our day and it will help balance us when things get hectic.
