Morning Routine Upgrade


SARAH CURNOLES

LIFE COACH

Hiya Reader,

I want to tell you a story about how powerful a morning routine can be.

I recently did an experiment where I got rid of all my morning routines. I stopped working out. I stopped meditating (mostly, that one was hard to let go of), I stopped journaling. I kept brushing my teeth and drinking water, obviously.

I was feeling disconnected from my routine and I wasn't sure if my routine was actually helping me or if it was just checking items off a To Do list of "things to do to be productive and successful."

To figure out what was actually helping me, I decided to get rid of all of them for a little while. Then I could start fresh and add back anything that really helped.

At first, it was really freeing! Like those first days of summer vacation as a kid. No books! No schedule! I can laze about in bed without rushing to meditate or stretch!

And then the lack of a routine started to take an effect on my mood. I got cranky and impatient. I was more judgmental about others and fell back on my patterns of expecting perfection from myself and others.

I felt less organized, less strutted, and more rushed throughout the day. Like there wasn't enough time and I definitely didn't have enough focus to get done what I needed to do.

Apparently those routines actually were making a difference. With my routines I noticed:

  • an increase in energy and creativity.
  • a sense of calm and being grounded that lasted all day. Less rushing.
  • improved ability to manage my thoughts and emotions.
  • I could choose how to respond instead of emotionally reacting to everything.
  • I was ready to fall asleep because I felt tired and positively productive.
  • more patience with others and I was more willing to give them grace for trying their best.
  • more excitement to get out of bed and get the day started because I was starting my day with something I enjoyed and benefitted from.

It was totally worth it to find a way to connect to my routine, even if I only have 10 minutes to stretch and meditate. The payoff was huge.

Because I saw such a dramatic increase in the quality of my life, I wanted to help you with your routines!

I created a free guide for you to craft your own best morning and evening routine. Because you're already on my list, I want you to get first dibs. You can get your free Routine Builder Guide here!
