Ep 0061: How Your Morning Routine Can Ensure You Have A Great Day, Every Single Day This week’s episode is going to be a little bit different. We’re going to be focussing on how to be sure you have a great day, every day. When I started my business, I thought ‘how hard can it be?’ and that honestly it was going to be a breeze as I had all of the skills I needed to get started. I didn’t stop and think about my mindset when it comes to running a business, and the days where I didn’t feel as though I wanted to work. This episode is perfect for entrepreneurs that work from home and struggle to get find the motivation to get started each day as we’re going to focus on mindset, my morning routine and the books I have read. Key Takeaways Covered in the Podcast - Listen to your body and take it easy when it’s telling you need a break. - Set your alarm as early as you can. Use Mel Robins five second rule and as soon as you get down to zero on your five second countdown, get out of bed. If you struggle, put your phone in a different part of your room so you have to get up to turn your alarm off. - Once you’re awake, leave your bedroom as soon as you possibly can. Whether this is heading to the bathroom to splash water on your face or going downstairs for your morning coffee, make sure you’re staying away from your bedroom. - The next thing you need to do is journal. Write down ANYTHING that comes to your head, whether it’s your goals, what ideas you’re thinking or your to-do list for the day. You could also use it to write down an issue you’re having, writing down as many possible solutions as you can around it. - If you enjoy journaling, you may find it helps to journal at the end of the day too. It’s a great way to pour out all of your thoughts from the day, as well as set goals for the day ahead. - There are so many benefits to meditating in the morning. Whether it’s closing your eyes and focussing on your breathing or using a guided meditation, meditation can lower your blood pressure, promote sleep and improve your mindset. Depending on how you’re feeling, you may want to do different routines. - As you start your morning, think about these three things: What can you be excited about today? What might trip me up and cause stress? How can I respond to that? Who can I surprise today with a thank-you, a gift or a moment of appreciation? - Although it doesn’t have to be much, spending some time reading each morning can be incredibly beneficial. - Try and stay away from social media and emails until you have completed all of your morning routine.
