Morning routines help us set the tone for the day, better allowing us to control our schedules rather than our schedule controlling us. As we start each day fresh, we can better focus on what is in front of us, where to prioritize our time, and, ultimately, increase our productivity. I like to call my time in the morning "magical minutes". Magical minutes are things that I have made a part of my morning routine that only take couples minutes, but allow me to focus on starting my day on a positive note rather than a negative one. Here is a glimpse in to my routine hoping you might be inspired to add some of these magical minutes to your morning!
1. Wake up & meditate
When I first wake up, before I reach for my phone...I will do 5 minutes of meditating. This might be a breath awareness, repeating affirmations to myself, listening to a guided meditation, etc. My favourite app for free meditations is insight timer. I am a teacher on this app as well.

2. Slow movement
I then begin waking up my body with slow mindful movement. I usually choose 5-10 yoga poses that feel good to my body...depending on the day. To view a quick 5 minute morning yoga sequence, click below.
3. Post my content for the day
The next step of my morning involves me spending about 15 minutes posting and commenting on my social media business pages. I really try to save this step for after I have meditated and done some gentle movement.

4. Get ready, get set, journal & coffee
The next step of my morning routine involves getting myself ready for the day, listening to relaxing music while I get ready, get dressed, get lunches made & then I make myself breakfast, coffee & sit down to do my morning journal. My morning journal consists of 3 different sections, my affirmations, my gratitudes & my goals.
