Let’s face it: mornings are rough, and for me they are even more because I work remotely and finish late at night. But instead of hitting snooze 17 times and rushing to get ready, what if you started the day like the fabulous, wellness-focused person you aspire to be? Here are ten morning rituals will have you feeling like a million bucks before your first email.
1. Water You Waiting For?
Your body spent the night being as thirsty as a bad first date. Guzzle a big glass of water to rehydrate and wake up your organs. Bonus points if you make it fancy with lemon slices.
Amazon Pick: Reusable Glass Water Bottle – Because hydration is more Instagrammable when it’s in a chic bottle.
2. Gratitude, Not Attitude
Take a moment to count your blessings instead of your emails, especially in those busy seasons. It’s like yoga for your soul—and requires zero flexibility.
Amazon Pick: Gratitude Journal – For jotting down all the good stuff, like your dog, coffee, and that one coworker who doesn’t reply-all.
3. Stretch or Warm Up
Your bed is comfy, but your body deserves a good stretch or warm up too. Pretend you’re auditioning for Cirque du Soleil (or just touch your toes). Either way, you’ll feel more human. I can guarantee the hip stretchers for those office workers will make you love yourself a little more.
Amazon Pick: Non-Slip Yoga Mat – The MVP of your bend-and-snap routine.
4. Breakfast: The OG Energy Drink
Step away from the Waffles. A healthy breakfast fuels your day, keeps you full, and (bonus!) makes you less hangry.
LiveGood Pick: Organic Super Greens – Toss this into a smoothie for a nutrition boost so good you’ll feel smug about it.
5. Sip Happens
Your coffee deserves an upgrade. Ditch the sugar-laden concoctions and try something cleaner and healthier. Your taste buds—and your waistline—will thank you.
LiveGood Pick: CAWFEE (aka Coffee) – Caffeine with benefits (the healthy kind, not the office kind).
6. Plot Your World Domination
Whether it’s a to-do list or a mind map of how you’ll crush the day, planning is key. Just remember to leave time for coffee breaks.
Amazon Pick: Daily Planner – Your secret weapon for looking like you’ve got your life together.
7. Mini Moves, Major Gains
No need for a full-on CrossFit sesh. A quick 10-minute workout is enough to trick your body into thinking it’s a morning person. Me personally, I loveee me some pilates!
Amazon Pick: Adjustable Dumbbells – Because lifting a coffee mug doesn’t count as strength training (sadly).
8. Ear Candy
Ditch the morning news doomscrolling and pop in some earbuds for something uplifting. Whether it’s a motivational podcast or your favorite 2000s throwback hits, set the vibe for the day.
Amazon Pick: Wireless Earbuds – Perfect for ignoring that 7 a.m. group chat.
9. Vitamin D-Lightful
Take your coffee outside and soak up some sun. Fresh air and daylight are like free therapy.
Amazon Pick: Travel Mug – Keep your coffee hot and your hands warm while pretending you’re in a Hallmark movie.
Morning Glory
Incorporating even a few of these rituals can transform your mornings from a mad dash to a moment of zen.
