I wanted to do a blog post here in conjunction with a video
on my YouTube channel all about my Morning Routine. The importance of a good
morning routine and waking up well really helps you set yourself up for a great
day.
My morning routine consists of four basic things and
everything else just works around those four components. They are not always
performed in the same order everyday but this is the basic way things go down
on a typical morning. My four basics are 1. Taking the dogs out 2. Breakfast 3.
Reading my Bible & Praying (Quiet Time) and 4. Getting ready for the day
(brushing my teeth, washing my face, getting dressed, etc.)
The day usually starts with my alarm going off. I’ve learned
that an “alarm sound” is too easy to turn off and roll over again to so I have
set my alarm through my Pandora music app (which is free). When my alarm goes
off, music starts playing and it lets me wake up a little easier. While I’m
listening to the music, I check the intrawebs (ALL THE APPS!!!), cuddle with
the dogs, and, of course, have a photo shoot with Barry. Then we head outside
for the pups to do their “business” and stretch their legs for a few minutes.
After this we head back inside for breakfast. My favorite breakfast is featured
as a recipe in the YouTube video below. Sometimes we will go for a 1 to 2 mile
walk if we wake up early enough, but I will have breakfast first since I have
hypoglycemia and will seriously crash and possibly pass out if I don’t eat
before working out. But lately, we’ve been skipping that walk so after
breakfast, Barry and I will head outside to the front porch so I can have my
quiet time. (Click here for a blog post on this topic) This is when I read my
Bible and Pray to get myself in a positive state of mind before heading back in
to get ready for the rest of the day. (In case you are wondering where Callie
is during this time, she’s inside. She is a bit of an opportunist in the front
yard and always winds up in someone else’s yard.) After my quiet time, Barry
and I head back in so I can make the bed, straighten up a bit, wash my face,
brush my teeth, get dressed, and all that good stuff. When that’s done I’m ready
to tackle the day.
I give myself about 1 and half hours to 2 hours to complete
my four basic morning routine tasks. Once again, some days vary and we can add
some more things here and there but the four basics almost never change. For
instance, some days after my quiet time I will pull out whatever book I’m
reading and spend some time in that. As I mentioned before, we will sometimes
walk a few miles in the morning and on other days we will just go around the
neighborhood quickly to get the blood flowing. I know a lot of people have
their “down” time or relaxing times in the evening but for me, I like to use
those couple of hours in the morning to orient myself and prepare for the day. This
is just what works best for me.
I’ve put together this fun video below where you can check
out the pups and I getting ready for our day as well as an easy breakfast
recipe. Enjoy!! Let me know in the comments what you like to do in your
morning!

Goal Board Inspiration Board Today I want to show you two great tools you can use to help keep your goals in front of you and encourage you to accomplish them. They are Goal & Inspiration Boards. There is a difference between the two and I'm going to let you take a look at some of mine and explain how I use them. These two simple and easy as well as fun tools have helped me so much to achieve my dreams and goals since I've been using them. Here's a little peak at my office. You will see my Inspiration Board near my desk and (not pictured) my Goal Board is a much larger board on the other wall opposite my Inspiration Board. They are always visible to me which is great because as you can see, I like to keep my things at arms reach. My Goal Board is used to keep my Yearly Resolutions, Weekly & Monthly Goals, as well as my Wellness & Business goals on. Though the Weekly/Monthly Goals change often, the Board itself gets changed out seasonall...
