What is a morning routine? Have you considered the impact your morning has on the rest of your day?

There are major benefits of having a healthy morning routine.

Healthy morning routines can:

• improve mental health
• decrease stress
• increase productivity
• and boost your motivation

Incredible, right?

What is a Morning Routine?

It’s a simple 5-10 minute morning routine that is done soon after waking up. 

In that 10-minute period, you complete a 1-2 minute, baby step habit for each of the 7 Habits of a Healthy Free Life. 

I share my personal Morning 7 Routine

I wake up.
Hit the bathroom.
Head to the kitchen.
And then I hit my morning 7.

This takes me just 7 minutes to complete.

While I’m only maybe engaging in 10 minutes of healthy habits each morning, it really does set me up to have a better day, even if I don’t do anything else for my health.

Why I love the Morning 7 so much

• It's a reminder to hit my goals in all these healthy, self-care habits later during my day. For instance, when I fill my water jug in the morning, I'm more likely to drink my goal amount of water!
• If I don't complete one of my intended habits later in the day, say I did not get my morning Bible time in, at least I have paused, connected with God, and meditated on one scripture. 
• If the rest of the day goes to pot, at least I started the day healthy.
• It helps me stay healthy in survival mode. I never feel like I've failed or am off track with my healthy habits because I've at least done something for my health each day of survival mode.

How to create your own Morning 7 Routine

If you feel exhausted, unmotivated, stressed or anxious in the morning or throughout your day, a morning routine could be the cure you’re looking for!

Whether you’re a busy professional, a stay at home parent, or a student, these tips can be easily adapted for your unique lifestyle and schedule.
