ABOUT ME
As a young girl, I was always fascinated by the
way the world worked. Why do people do the things
they do? What makes them happy? How can we make
this world a little bit better? Now as a wife,
mother, and business owner, Im still fascinated
by those things and more

Wake Up Early and Dont Hit Snooze
I went from waking up just on time and rushing
through my morning habits to starting the day
with one to two hours of quiet time. I wake up
and drink a glass of water, then lay in bed for
10 minutes without scrolling through my phone
(avoiding the bright lights of my screen). That
is dedicated time just for me. This has been a
game changer, and I look forward to this part of
the day now! As a result, I started on personal
routines, which put my mind in the right state.

Avoid checking your phone
This has to make every list because it is
essential. One of the first things Ive done is I
switched off my phone notifications, and I try to
take a few hours for myself before checking in
with the world. This helps me stay calm and
focused on what matters most first thing in the
morning and after a good nights sleep. I didnt
know the harmful effects of checking my phone
first thing in the morning had on me. No good can
come from feeding your brain information from all
over the world before you even have the chance to
explore your thoughts.

Morning Pages
This is a great way to get all the negative
self-talk out of the way before you get down to
business. Julia Cameron introduced morning pages
in The Artists Way. I take out my journal and
put my thoughts on the page when I wake up. This
is a form of meditation where your
subconscious-thoughts surface, and in a way,
writing them down unlocks your creativity.

Meditate
I do this immediately after my morning
journaling I stay where I am, and I take no more
than five minutes. I close my eyes and focus on
my breathing. This is when I dont let my
thoughts carry me to the past or future. Instead,
I choose what I want to focus on in these
moments, where I want my ideas to lead me. Dont
be harsh on yourself if your mind wanders if you
try it. Thats normal. Just realize what youre
doing and come back.

Drink Water
After meditating and drinking a 500ml cup of
lemon-infused water to rehydrate my body before
having my coffee, I engage in my morning routine
habits. I get to the kitchen, have my coffee and
make breakfast for my family before anything
else. I know people who replaced morning coffee
altogether with this morning routine, including
the lemon-infused water, because it helped them
wake up just the same. If you can do that, then
good for you, but me personally, I love coffee
too much to let it go ?? It's just that water
always comes first.

Exercise
Now its 6 am, and the house starts waking up,
and its time to start the day for my husband and
kids. What they do every morning before starting
their day is a 30-minute workout. We started this
routine in the first lockdown in 2020. We needed
to get the kids into an exercise routine. Now
that I have my own time in the morning, Im free
to join them. The best part is that I cant quit
when the rest work so hard. I have to be an
example. Im held accountable, and its working!

Make Your Bed First Thing In The Morning
I do this before or after our workout, but it has
to be done. all is to make your bed first thing
when you wake up. Morning Routine Habits Making
your bed every morning sets a positive tone for
the day. It also gives me a sense of
accomplishment and motivates me further to get
going with my day. Finally, after all the hustle
and bustle of the morning, I spend some I used to
forget this step, but now it has become part of
my routine, and I cant start my day without
completing it. Having a made bed is quite calming
to look at when I come back home after a long day.

Get ready for the day Look good, feel good.
You do not know how much better you can feel if
you simply take the time to shower, dress nicely,
and do your makeup. Whatever makes you feel fresh
and presentable will make all the difference.
After my workout, its time for a quick shower. I
have my facial cleanser in the shower, so step
one is done, and Im ready for my skincare
routine, which takes me 10 minutes. Once Im
done, its time to get dressed and get ready for
the day. This is a very important step,
especially when youre working from home and some
days you dont get out at all. In the first few
days of the first-ever lockdown, I let this one
slip without noticing.
