wake up with time to spare, at least 30 min to 1 hour ahead of your normal time.

hydrate with ice water or fruit infused water.

follow a skincare routine to refresh and cleanse your skin, making sure to include spf for during the day.

use warm herbal remedies such as drinking herbal tea or a fresh cup of coffee to set a positive tone for the day, creating mindfulness and calmness in your body.

don’t look at your phone if you don’t have to. for those who use their phone as an alarm, click it off and turn your phone upside down until afterwards.

pray + say positive affirmations that align with your physical, emotional, and mental goals for the day.

awaken your body with slow stretching or yoga and deep breathing, as this helps activate your body for the day.

eat a light and nutritious breakfast, such as greek yogurt and berries or an omelette and toast.

create a to-do list + journal to set your intentions of how you desire for your day to go.

express gratitude for the gift of a new day.

staying consistent with these steps and keeping a healthy routine trains your mind, body, and spirit to create positive and productive days. it’s important to do what works for you but also to align your actions with what’s best for your wellbeing. each part of your routine is like an instrument playing a unique role, contributing to the harmony of your life!

focus on the likes and not the wants

you may not want to clean your room, but you like the peace and call it brings you after

you may not want to study, but you like the confidence and satisfaction you get from being prepared

you may not not want to apologise, but you like the relief and connection that reconciliation brings

you may not want to cook, but you like the satisfaction of eating a healthy come cooked meal prepared with love

you may not want to exercise, but you like how you feel afterwards and how it makes you confident

you may not want to journal or write, but you like the reflection and calm it brings you

you may not want to step out of your comfort zone, but you like the new experiences and growth you gain from it
