I was going to just title it my routines but quarantine really changed a lot of what I use to do in my day and I do have a lot more time now so can fit a lot more into my day.
Waking up gently, breathing and having a good stretch. Going to bed early and setting an alarm to wake up with plenty of breathing room for me to wake up comfortably. It’s v important to me because I hate jumping out of bed, I feel so shaken and jittery..
Drink some water. V important. Helps my skin, my body and makes sure the first thing to hit my stomach in the morning isn’t trash..
Journal. I set up my daily to-do list and goals so I have some sort of idea of what to do with my day..
Exercise/Stretch/Yoga.. Any of the three, sometimes I feel more like one than the other, as long as one is done, don’t stress about it. I try to listen to my subliminal playlists during stretching or yoga and meditate before anything else.
Bathroom/Skin care.. It’s a little more than just my skin care sometimes.
Start a tea and some breakfast. By now I’ve had some water to hydrate myself too.
Yoga/Stretching and meditating. I separate yoga and stretching because I don’t stress myself between doing a full yoga video or some light stretching just to help my body get some blood flowing.
Journaling and tea. I update all of my notebooks/journals and have some tea to help myself relax.
Drink some water before bed.
Wash my face. Exfoliate once a week.
Apply toner. I am in between toners right now looking for the right ingredients.
Apply moisturizer. Important.
Moisturize and brush hair.
Hot shower. Long enough to soak so I can exfoliate well.
Skin routine. I like to do my eyebrows during this part too.
Combing and braiding my hair. Specific but a loose braid will keep it strong and neat.
Smoking a good bowl. Oui’d to help me meditate.
Clean bed sheets, reading, and meditation.
Journaling. Like most of my end of nights.
Anything to help me “numb out” in a good way. I love to play phone games and ACNH.
