How My Morning Routine is Saving Me Right Now

We’ve got to let the dust settle on the craziness. Once it does, it’s go time. If there’s one thing that I think prepared me for all this while the rest of the world is freaking out, it’s my morning routine.  

As leaders, we are called to be the level head, or the calm in the storm, and one of the best ways to ensure that you actually remain calm is to master your mornings. 

My morning routine takes about 60 minutes:

Drink 16oz of water. This is the first thing that you  should do every morning - all through the night your body is dehydrating, so it’s important to drink plenty of water when you wake up. Have it ready the night before, so that it’ll be easy to get used to in the morning.

Strides - highly recommend. It’s what I use to track my morning routine. Typically, I’m the first person in my house that’s awake, so I have an hour of quiet to myself where I can drink water, read something, and journal. Strides is a great app for tracking it all. 

Headspace - This is a mindfulness meditation. The series I do right now is on mindfulness around eating. I tend to eat when I’m stressed, tired, bored, all the time - so I try to do 10 to 20 minute meditations on eating. 

Abide - This is a christian meditation app that I use every morning as well, although even if you aren’t a christian, I’d still encourage you to do some kind of meditation or reading every morning. 

Read something. I choose to read the bible, but if you don’t, read a chapter of a book. It’s easy, and it gets your mind started up before work every day. 

Journal. I try to do a five minute journal every day - it’s an app I use, but they also have a paper version. You could also just write it down in any journal - I like to answer some questions around gratitude every day. In the morning, I think of 3 things I am looking forward to that day, and then at the end of the day, I write 3 awesome things that happened that day and what I could do differently. 

During these times, it’s more important than ever to make sure we are still showing up in our businesses like we were before - take control of your mornings so that you can continue showing up for your team as strong as ever!
