EP.58 3 Steps to a better morning routine, creating good habits

<p>3 Steps to your morning routine.</p> <p><br></p> <p>As we head back into the fall, back to school and a more scheduled life, Here are my top tips to your new morning routine.</p> <p>Done over perfect. Life is a marathon not a sprint so focus on 3 days a week and allow for deviation. Think long term and even if you are able to do it once a week for a few weeks, that&#39;s a new habit. </p> <p><br></p> <p>I think aiming for everyday or even 5 days a week can be unattainable/ unstainable and much more unrealistic. We are busy. So plan for the unexpected.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Stop with the all or nothing. Be proud of yourself for the little habits. Ie drinking water before your coffee. Meditating once a week. Celebrate the small. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Pick a manageable amount of time. Maybe start with 5 minutes of working out or meditating, instead of an hour, you&#39;ll likely be able to fit that in with even a busy day/week.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Bite size attainable habits and planning for real life instead of the perfect unicorn day which almost never happens.</p> <p><br></p> <p>I am working on drinking a glass of water before my coffee, and journaling and working out 3 mornings a week. That being said the workouts will start back regularly in September because . . .summer holidays. But this is exactly the point. </p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/ep-23-journal-your-heart-out-how-writing-it-all-down/id1548617939?i=1000555117640" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">EP.23 on Journaling</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Let me know what you are working on for your morning routines over on IG <a href="https://www.instagram.com/frommartyrtomagic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@frommartyrtomagic</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>As always - thank you for listening and please share this episode with someone who would enjoy it, and your rating and reviewing the podcast means the world to me. </p> <p>XO Shannon</p>
