UNSTOPPABLE MORNING ROUTINE

Hello dear friends!

If you find it hard to wake up in the morning, my dear sweet friend, you are in good company! But I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be this way! 
I have naturally been an early bird my whole life but...after having my twins back in 2012, I development a much deeper love and appreciation for sleep and sleeping in! 

But I realized as time went on that the time I spend sleeping in wasn't benefiting me in the ways I had hoped for and really wasn't benefiting me at ALL!! So time for a change! 

I will always preach about the book, Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. It's an amazing and practical way of getting into the morning routine that is going to kick start your morning and ultimately your life. So if by chance you haven't read it, go right now and do so...immediatly! 

I'm just going to summarize the few baby steps to getting you out of the bed today. 
He calls it the 5 minute morning and here they go! 

5 MINUTE MORNING

Mintue One: Go to bed with positive affirmations. Think about the opportunities and hope that tomorrow holds. Leave the negativity behind. 

Minute Two: Set your alarm away from the bed. If you can reach it from the bed (and in my case one step away from the bed) move it further away; it's too close!! 

Minute Three: Brush your teeth! Hal says that at this time of the morning, it's best to do something mundane and habitual that requires very little thought process. 

Minute Four: Drink a glass of water. This helps you replace the water and slight dehydration we wake up with. 

Minute Five: He gives two options: Shower or Put on your workout clothes. I personally only allow myself the latter option so I have no need to make up excuses for not getting my workout in. Some workout in the evening so it makes sense for them to shower. 


This is just a short brief explanation of his method but it works for me!! I suggest you read his book and look into his own story. It's very inspiring!! 

I hope this helps!
