My morning routine is such a huge part of my day. I’m a firm believer in how you start your day sets the tone for the entire day. I have perfected my routine over the years adding in and taking away tasks. I’m completely satisfied with where I am now with my routine. Today I’m going to share with you what I do in the first hour of waking up and why.
||1} Wash my face and brush my teeth: As I’m nearing my mid-thirties (gasp) I make sure to take extra good care of my skin. I haven’t always been nice to my face and honestly, it shows. I can’t make up for it, but I can help it from here on out. Now, because I wash my face at night before bed ridding it from makeup and impurities, I use a mild cleanser on my face. In the winter I usually just splash water on it. However, in the summer months I’m a bit greasy so I start the day by washing that off.

||2} Start my pot of coffee: I know… I know… But hear me out. I am a coffee junkie, and I’m okay with that. I drink my coffee black. NO added sugars or flavoring. I splurge on quality coffee for myself from a local coffee bean roaster. Not only do I “need” coffee to get going in the morning, I just really really really enjoy it.
||3} Drink a full glass of warm water with lemon [while my coffee is brewing]: I don’t need to tell you the benefits of staying hydrated. There’s a lot of health benefits to drinking lemon water in the morning. I highly recommend you research that and see if it’s right for you.
||4} Take my vitamins: I prefer to take my vitamins after breakfast. A few years ago my doctor found that I run low on B12. So she recommended I take a B12 supplement every day. I take that every single day. I also take a few other vitamins including Probiotics for my digestive health, and Biotin for my hair.
I am LOVING Sundown Naturals® Adult Gummies. Sundown Naturals® are gluten, dairy, and artificial flavor free◊. I found a HUGE selection of Sundown Naturals® Adult Gummies at Walmart (they have vitamins for the whole family that you can trust) including: Biotin, Calcium, Co Q-10, Cranberry, Fiber, Fish Oil, Melatonin, Multivitamins, Probiotic, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D.
The Sundown Naturals® website has a fun short quiz you can take to help determine what gummies are right for you. I took the quiz after I got home from purchasing my vitamins.

||5} Yoga: I love starting my day with some stretching or a yoga routine. I work out at the gym in the afternoon, but I do like to get my body moving in the morning. YouTube has a lot of videos if you’re new to yoga.
||6} Turn on motivating music, an audio book, or a podcast: Nothing gets me going in the morning like some music. My mood is very influenced by music. I’ll also use this time to listen to inspiring business podcasts.
||7} Start a load of laundry: I like to kick off the laundry right away because it’s the easiest household chore and it starts me off feeling productive.

||8} Make breakfast: I really struggle with this but it’s vital. I know that I’m happier and more balanced when I start my day off with breakfast. After a year or two of consciously having breakfast [almost] every day I still struggle. I’m NEVER hungry first thing in the morning. My breakfast usually consists of either oatmeal, a fruit plate and a hardboiled egg, or avocado toast.
||9} Create: After I’ve had my breakfast and taken my vitamins, I sit down at my desk with a cup of coffee and create something. This can be a huge art project or a simple coloring session. I have found that if I do something creative early in my day, it sets me up to be in the creative mindset all day. Since creativity is a huge part of my job, this is incredibly beneficial to me.
||10} Look over my planner: Now it’s time to start the work day. I will go over emails, social media, etc. Glancing at my planner and planning out what I have to do today and what deadlines are coming up.
