Morning Routine Equals Success?

Do you have a morning routine?

I was once told by a friend of mine who is a life coach that "in order to succeed and accomplish your goals, you need to have a morning routine."

I can honestly say that until recently - say the past five or six months, that I never understood what this meant.

My mornings are a time for myself. I don't check my phone right when I wake up (as much as I want too)

- I wake up

- I make a tea

- I sit in silence and meditate

- I check my goal list to see if I can check anything off and monitor my progress

I take at least an hour to myself each and every morning to start my day before everyone in the house gets up and my role as mommy and wife takes over for the morning rush.

Sure, this means that I am dragging myself out of bed early in order to get this alone time.

Sure, I might want to sleep in and hit snooze ten times.

But I don't.

I don't because I need to do these things for me. It gives me some time to reflect on myself, check in with myself, and clear my head for the day ahead.

Only then will I pick up my phone, or turn on my laptop to check in with my business and tend to any pressing matters.

So does having a morning routine really equal success?

I can't say for sure, but I can say that when I feel better about myself, I feel better about my business. I can think clear thoughts, I can get my ideas out and post new posts, I can help out in the community. This can only be done if I take care of ME first.

Wishin you all a fabulous weekend ahead!
