What Is Your Morning Routine
My morning routine has evolved over the last five years. I've tried a lot of different things, kind of like a chef cooking a dish, just experimenting.
It's a quick one, it's less than 30 minutes because I've got three kids, so I need something that I could sustain.
- I answer some questions.
I ask myself what my priority is for today. What am I grateful for? These are pen to paper. I also ask myself, who am I going to reach out to today? This includes clients, family members, mom or dad etc.
- Affirmations. Whatever is on my mind I write down on paper.
Exercise. I exercise for five minutes and that's not my only exercise but it's my morning five minutes. I'll do burpees for five minutes or pull-ups or the ab roller thing, just different movements for five minutes.
Meditation. I meditate for five minutes using the "Insight Timer" app on my phone.
Reading. I read a few pages right now. I'm almost done with Robin Sharma's, "Ever The Everyday Hero Manifesto".
Light Therapy.
I have a "Happy Light" which is a UV light that I shine on my face like a crazy person. It feels good and enhances my mood. So I have that shining on me as I write down my answers.
I do this routine for 25 minutes each morning.
