New Morning Routines

Posted on by Distracted Damsel

I don’t know about you, but I 100% struggle with mornings. It might be because I don’t sleep well. Or it might be because I know work is looming in the near future. But either way, they just seem to be not so fun for me. While I’ve been struggling with this sinus infection for 3 weeks, the morning routine has been more difficult with the bouts of coughs. But I’m beginning to feel better, and I heard something today about setting yourself up for the day.

I’m always looking for new audio books. I listen to them at work or while I am riding to and from. Sometimes, I even listen to them as background noise instead of the TV. I think this one populated in my suggestions because I already have Atomic Habits and 7 Habits of Highly Effective People in my library.

Listen to The 6 Habits of Growth by Brendon Burchard on Audible. https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BBY76WP4?source_code=ASSOR150021921000V

I’m about half way thru the audio, but in the chapter on Motivation, Brendon gives three things to you to do in your morning routine to set the intentions for the day. The 3 things are reading, goal planning, and movement, and you really only take five minutes for each. I can do 15 minutes to put me in the right spot for the day.

So I have a daily planner. In the morning, I write out 3 things I want to accomplish for the day – goals. From there, I get into my Spotify and find my daily motivation or a new podcast. I also have a self-help book right next to my bed-reading. I have a yoga stretch video I follow if I have enough time or I have my 20-minute bike ride to work-movement.

These might be more than the 15 minutes total for the three things, but it is how I am implementing them into my day. Today was my first attempt, and by the time I got to work, I was ready to face the stack of orders waiting for me. My day started on the right foot, and overall, now that I am at home and about to have dinner and relax, I feel accomplished. I will do this for the rest of the week and see what happens. Anyone have any other get you going morning routines?

Who is this woman?? Ill tell you. I am a young, mid thirties, single woman from the quaint small town of Las Vegas NV. I have a love for home design, an addiction to self improvement, and a passion for helping others. I believe a sense of humor and a wealth of understanding will get you thru anything. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not knowing who you want to be when you grow up as long as you are taking steps that make you happy. This blog is the start of my business. I offer in home color consultations in the Las Vegas area, to those who cannot choose between beige or gray, for those that want a pop of color accent wall, or those contractors who can do any project but need someone to choose the colors. I also create inspiring color palette that can be used in any home or office. Palettes are created by things in my everyday life. An event, a new friend or even a topic challenge can give me something to write about. I am not just a design blogger but a lifestyle blogger. I dont know where my road ends but on the journey, I am trying new recipes, planning new activities, and booking as many trips for fun as I can. Fun must be had where ever it can be found to get thru this messy thing we call life. I hope that I can inspire and entertain others like me while I make this journey from 9 to 5 to successful business owner!
