There’s something special about the energy of a new day, and for many people, starting the day off on the right foot is key to setting a positive tone for the rest of the day.

Whether it’s enjoying a cup of tea, going for a jog, or simply taking a few moments to breathe and center yourself, establishing a morning routine that works for you can help you feel energized and ready to take on the day.

For some, the morning is a time for quiet reflection and solitude, while for others, it’s a time to connect with loved ones or catch up on the news. Whatever your preference, finding a way to start your day with intention and purpose can help you feel more grounded and focused throughout the day.

While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to creating a morning routine, there are a few common threads that can help set the tone for a positive and productive day. These might include things like exercise, meditation or mindfulness practices, journaling, or simply taking a few moments to enjoy a quiet moment of solitude before diving into the day’s tasks.

How do you start your mornings?

When I wake up first thing in the morning I make sure to say a morning prayer and then I of course, check one of my social media accounts. I know I’m not the only one who does this; come on, we are all guilty of it. Checking at least one of your social media accounts is like having your morning tea with the world. Especially Tik Tok, which if used with strong discernment, proves to be a useful resource for worldly information. 

Anywho, morning vibes may fluctuate or change, and I would like to share some of my favorite quotes that I keep close at hand to inspire and uplift me on a daily basis.

“The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you figure out why.” – Mark Twain

The greatest gift bestowed upon humans by the divine is to discover and fulfill our highest potential in life.

“The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but the ones who see it, live with it, and do nothing.” – Albert Einstein

Often people will see evil and just turn the other cheek, but it is because of inaction that this disease continues to spread.

“You don’t stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.” – George Bernard Shaw

The goal is to age like fine wine; getting better and better over time.  

Everyday brings a new outlook, memory, and experience. You are the creator of your universe and you have everything you need. It’s not going to be easy but if you want it bad enough you will fight for it, and work towards the things you want – nothing is impossible. Surround yourself with good, strong, and forward thinking individuals.

All in all, whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, consider carving out some time each morning to focus on the things that matter most to you. With a little intentionality and a willingness to experiment, you might be surprised at just how much a positive morning routine can impact the rest of your day – and your life as a whole.

Growing up I never really had an issue with setting goals and accomplishing them.

Everything was straight forward and either black or white. Although, once I hit my mid-twenties, I quickly realized that I had no clue what I was doing with my life. Everything was done for the right now and long term goals seemed more like long term fantasies.

How was I to deal with such a weird and twisted transition in life? 

Most hold on to that piece of passion that they believe will take them to the next level. Some deal with it by hiding behind fake smiles and filling their days with endless “to-do’s.” Others sulk and wallow, drudging through life, day after day – while in the back of their mind, they wish that their life would just stop. 

Life  can often feel like driving full speed through fog with no headlights; a disaster waiting to happen. While on the other hand, it’s filled with past life experiences that have shaped and molded you into the person you are today. 

I commend everyone that’s still going, for continually growing in an impossible society. Do not be afraid to take risks and venture into the unknown. Even though you may feel lost, ask for help along the way and continue grinding towards your goals. Some of our journeys to success and happiness are longer than others – but think about it,  Moses didn’t part the Red Sea until he was 80. 

So all in all, I think this message is by me, for me, and everyone else who can relate … keep going no matter what, never look back, and never doubt yourself!

XOXO
