“How can I make weekday mornings less rushed? When am I going to workout today? Why won’t my kids sleep in? How in the world are other women getting ME time?!” These questions got choo goin cray? Me too. Erry day. But guess what … I’ve dug up some answers for us, and there’s hope!
So how do we take back our mornings? It’s simple. The good news: we most certainly can! The catch: now don’t shoot the messenger, but we need to wake up … EARLIER {insert terrified emoji face} I know, I know, you’re already waking up at 6:30AM Monday through Friday to get ready for work, how can you POSSIBLY wake any earlier? Sleep is PRECIOUS! Especially as an M.O.M.
But just like anything, if you REALLY want something, if you REALLY want to clarify your intentions, if you REALLY want to define & rock your goals, if you REALLY want to make every moment/day/week/year AWESOME – it all starts with a Miracle Morning.
So what the heck is a Miracle Morning? I got choo, girl. Here’s a basic breakdown from a miracle book called – you guessed it – The Miracle Morning. Go through these 6 S.A.V.E.R.S. errrry morning {even just a few minutes each!} and you’re on the road to building the life of YOUR dreams.
Silence: Sit in silence upon waking – breath, zone out, calm the mind. 5 to 10 mins.
Doubt: There’s never peace & quiet in my house. And I don’t know how to meditate!
Truth: Go to bed early. Get up at 5:30AM. Don’t call it meditation. Just sit!
Affirmation: Remind your true self how INCREDIBLE you are! 5 mins.
Doubt: That’s weird. I don’t need to tell myself “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough.”
Truth: Yes, you do. “I’m a health nut / a giving friend.” You become what you speak!
Visualization: Picture you rollin! See it. Taste it. Smell it. Believe it. 5 mins.
Doubt: I think about my goals enough. That’s all I really need to do.
Truth: You’ve got to SEE end goal {literally} daily! This will keep you on track.
Exercise: Move. Flow. Walk. Sweat. Whatever wakes up dat bod wit some fresh O2!
Doubt: I’m not a morning person. There’s NO WAY I can werk it in the morning.
Truth: Just try it. Trust me. Start small. 10 mins. Get to 30-45 mins. Thank me later.
Read: Get inspired from your fave inspirers! Book, podcast, Insta feed. Do it! 5 mins.
Doubt: Read in the morning?? Shut the front door. I can’t even read at night!
Truth: Use your ears then! I’ll be featuring my FAVE podcasts in an upcoming post.
Scribe: Write it out, yo. Feelings. Wins. Goals. Fears. Gratefuls. Get. It. Out. 5 mins.
Doubt: I’m not a writer. I can’t write. And journaling is awkward. What do I write?!
Truth: Let it flow. Don’t think. Allow yourself to just be you & jot out your thoughts.
That’s the gist of it, dolls. I’m committing to getting my SAVERS in every morning in 2018. We all have so many thoughts, ideas, goals and aspirations & I truly believe that if we commit to visualizing these goals EVERY DAY, we’ll look back on 2018 as the year that got us to where we truly want to be.
Hit me up if you want to commit to this together!
Let’s make some miracles,
Katie
