My morning routine

NOTE: This is my morning routine and what works with my lifestyle. I know everyone has different responsibilities but I still encourage you to prioritize yourself and put yourself on a healthy schedule. How you start your day really sets the tone for everything you do.

Your routines should be focused on your personal self care above everything else. Once you got “you” ready then you can take on the day same with when you’re going to end the night.

My morning routines include:

Wake up between 4:30-5:00

Make bed

Glass of water

ACV shot

Work out

Shower

Meditate

Skin care

Breakfast

Supplements

I don’t check my phone until above is done then:

10k steps - sometimes I do fasted cardio in the morning, others Ill mix in cardio with 10k steps. Ideally I like to do my steps after I work out, but that really depends on the day.

During my 10k steps I start answering work emails and following up on stores, market etc.

When I come back that I’m showered and settled in ready to work I always dress up (even if I’m working from home)

Depending on the workload, I’ll squeeze in personal stuff, or not. I write my to do lists the night before to plan my day. I’m a stickler about schedules and to do lists.

The rest of my day is very dependent on my work schedule for that day, but I also incorporate cooking. I like to focus more on work in the mid afternoons because of all the time differences and will try to cook before, that way I have no distractions.

Evening routine is back to focusing on myself. Bath, skincare, journal, practicing a hobby or learning something new; and figuring out my schedule for the next day. I listen to audiobooks more than I read and I’ll have them on whilst working, but If there’s a book I’m physically reading, I’ll do this at night. (I started incorporating creative fun hobbies when I embarked on my femininity journey and really push for this daily- can tell the difference w my personality)

Periodically when i’m super busy I get very little sleep but habitually I get about 8 hours.

You're not lazy, you simply need to rest. You're not stupid, you simply have gaps in your knowledge that can be filled. You're not ugly, you simply have a wrong perception of your reflection. You're not naive, you simply believe in the good in people and in the world. You're not unlovable, you simply haven't recognised your own worth yet. All of these negative thoughts you may have in fact disguise a positive truth - a truth that you have to learn to believe. You, my love, are simply wonderful the way you are.

When Jesus says that God knows everything we need it is so that we know that He knows what we need. So we’re supposed to know that so we don’t worry.

Giving all of your cares to God because He cares for you isn’t saying that you don’t care, it’s living free from the weight of surrounding cares because God’s taught you to see like He does. It’s a perspective that you live from.

It’s not about what size you are, it’s about how wise you are. You can live unhealthy regardless of your weight. You can be unkind to yourself regardless of what you believe in. Changing your appearance doesn’t make you more loving and kind toward yourself, it just makes you feel better about not looking like someone God didn’t make you.

Why does God sometimes harden hearts and eyes? What does that mean for those people?

He does it by showing them the way to righteousness isn’t by their own works but by faith, that’s why the word says Christ is a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles.

So it’s not like God is making their hearts hard like some magic trick, it’s really because His true righteousness offends them and God says they can’t come to Him unless they come through Jesus.

“Always be full of joy in the Lord; I say it again, rejoice! Let everyone see that you are unselfish and considerate in all you do. Remember that the Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.”

Sarah, too, had faith, and because of this she was able to become a mother in spite of her old age, for she realized that God, who gave her his promise, would certainly do what he said. And so a whole nation came from Abraham, who was too old to have even one child—a nation with so many millions of people that, like the stars of the sky and the sand on the ocean shores, there is no way to count them.

If he tells you, you have no worth, it’s because you hold a lot of worth.
