THAT GIRL MORNING ROUTINE

For a productive day

As the saying goes, "the early bird catches the worm." This is especially true when it comes to starting your day off on the right foot. Establishing a morning routine can help you feel more energized and focused throughout the day. Here are some tips for creating a morning routine that will set you up for success.

1. Wake up at the same time every day

Consistency is key when it comes to establishing a morning routine. Try to wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This will help regulate your body's internal clock and make it easier to fall asleep at night.

2. Drink water first thing in the morning

After sleeping for several hours, your body needs hydration to function properly. Drinking water first thing in the morning can help jumpstart your metabolism and improve digestion.

3. Exercise or stretch

Getting moving in the morning can help boost energy levels and improve mood. Whether it's going for a run or doing some gentle stretching, incorporating exercise into your morning routine can have numerous benefits.

4. Eat a healthy breakfast

Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day! Eating a balanced breakfast that includes protein, whole grains, and fruits or vegetables can provide sustained energy throughout the morning.

5. Plan out your schedule for the day

Taking just five minutes in the morning to plan out what you need to accomplish during that day can help reduce stress and increase productivity.

6. Practice mindfulness or meditation

Starting off with some quiet reflection or meditation can set an intention for how you want your day to go and promote feelings of calmness and focus.

7. Avoid checking email/social media right away 

It's tempting to immediately check our phones upon waking up but this habit often leads us down rabbit holes of distraction before we've even started our days! Instead try waiting until after breakfast before checking emails/social media so as not get sidetracked.

By incorporating these habits into your morning routine, you can set yourself up for a productive and successful day. Remember, it takes time to establish new habits so be patient with yourself as you work towards creating a routine that works best for you!
