Mornings with little ones can feel like a marathon before 9 AM, but I've learned that even a short routine can shift my whole day 🌸 Here are the realistic rituals I swear by:
✨ 1. Hydrate First Thing
A glass of warm lemon water or water with electrolytes before coffee makes a huge difference in my mood and digestion.
→ I use this glass tumbler and love these hydration sachets.
🧘♀️ 2. Stretch or Move (5–10 mins)
Just a few yoga poses, or a quick walk with the kids in the pram. It doesn’t need to be fancy to be effective.
📔 3. Quick Journaling or Brain Dump
I take 3–5 minutes to jot down thoughts, affirmations, or my to-do list. Clears the mental clutter before the chaos begins.
→ I use this 'The Five Minute Journal' on Amazon
🍓 4. Nourishing Breakfast (Prepped Ahead!)
Overnight oats or chia pudding from the fridge makes me feel like I’ve done something kind for myself.
→ My fave meal prep jars and protein powders.
🎧 5. Mindful Soundtrack
Whether it’s calming music or a podcast while making breakfast, it helps me stay grounded.
Even on the craziest mornings, doing just one or two of these makes me feel more like me 💗
