Pause, observe a DEEP breath. How do you spend the first hour of your day? In this episode, Nick and Ray begin to discuss the third and final pillar of our Sustainable Self-Care System, our morning routine. They focus their attention on highlighting the connection between the habits we choose to practice in the morning and the ripple effect they can have on the rest of our day. Each of them shares how they spend the first hour of their day and the experiences that influenced their adoption of a morning routine.
Challenge: For the next week, track how you spend the first hour of your day.
You can keep track of your morning activities in your written journal or in the notes app on your phone [we recommend using your phone!]. By measuring how you currently spend your time, you will be able to use the data you collect to make more informed decisions about adjustments you can make that will support you feeling good so you can function at your best! As the month progresses, we will be offering up a variety of ways you can spend your time in the morning that promote peace, mental clarity, and higher energy levels.
Remember the second and third steps of the B.A.L.A.N.C.E. Blueprint [Self-Acceptance & Self-Compassion] as you reflect on your morning activities. When you accept yourself for where you are on your journey and choose to respond to yourself with compassion, you create an environment where you can embrace the changes necessary for you to adopt more empowering morning routine habits.
