Morning Routine for a Busy Mom by Alaina Winch
When I first became a Mom, I was of the belief that I ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฅ to let my daughter be my alarm. The only problem was, I would wake up scattered, stressed, and in ๐๐๐๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ mode, which is a really hard pattern to break.โฃ
โฃ
But, as I got into online health coaching, and especially dug into this book called, ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ช๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ญ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, I started changing my ways. Slowly, but surely, I altered my habits toward starting my days in ๐๐
๐
๐๐๐๐, and that’s when it all became so much...easier, more productive.โฃ
โฃ
Here are some things I still do, 4 years later, to make my mornings count:โฃ
- ๏ธ๐๐ข๐บ ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต ๐ค๐ญ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ด the night before right outside my bathroom door.โฃ
- Have my tub of ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต, my mason jar glass, and an insulated water bottle full, sitting on my bathroom counter ready to mix + drink first thing. I usually drink about 20-30 ox of cold water this way, too, which starts my metabolism and wakes me up.โฃ
- ๏ธKeep my scheduled ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐จ๐ณ๐ข๐ฎ ๐ค๐ข๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ข๐ณ hanging around my workout area, so that I know what I’m doing. I also write the duration of each workout on there, and look at them both the night before.โฃ
- Listen to a personal development book, podcast, read my ๐ฅ๐ข๐ช๐ญ๐บ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฐ๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ + ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ข๐บ๐ฆ๐ณ, and take a few moments to think about the way I should allow my day to go.โฃ
- ๏ธHead downstairs, get out my weights or needed equipment, have a little pre-party dance session, log into our virtual gym on Zoom, and ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ข๐บ.โฃ
โฃ
It’s amazing how those step-by-step habits have ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฆ๐ญ๐บ altered my life. After doing all of them, I then have time to work my coaching business, tackle 1-2 household chores for the day, and am able to set out shoes + breakfast for when the girls wake up so we can all go through the motions and have time left for prayer + Bible story reading (some days these happen in the car + at lunch #momlifebelike).
โฃ
I fully believe anyone can ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ a morning person, if they want to. Heck, if my hubs can do it (which was pivotal for our family life, by the way), then anyone, and I mean ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ can!
