035: How to Enjoy Mornings

 

In this episode, I’m talking about the 5 easy tips for enjoying your mornings more. It’s not about being the best morning person ever, but about making them enjoyable. 

Note that your inner critic may be super loud in the morning and try to pile shoulds on you. Your inner critic might have an idea for what a morning person should do or should be, so try not to listen to that as that can cause chaos to your mornings and not allow your mornings to be lovely.

5 Ways to Enjoy Your Mornings More

  1. Give yourself time to wake up
  2. Don’t worry about a morning routine
  3. Don’t make mornings filled with to-dos and shoulds
  4. Ask what would feel good
  5. Do not try to force yourself to get up hours before the sun

Quotes:

  • There’s something about the promise of the start of the day, it feels like I’m getting away with something.
  • The point of waking up earlier in the morning isn’t to add more hours to your day, it’s to add more hours to your day that feel good.
  • Allow yourself the ability to say “I’m still waking up”
  • Allow waking up to be a process and a transition
