MY MORNING ROUTINE

---

RISE n' SHINE-

Growing up I couldn't wait to get up and get started on my day. I'm sure my parents hated it... I was up by 6 or 7 at the latest almost everyday. It wasn't until later that I started getting in the habit of sleeping in. In this quarantine my original mindset was to stay up as late as possible so I could sleep through the days and make time go faster - I was sorely mistaken... This is a habit I'm breaking my trying to keep a sense of normalcy - even in this quarantine. 

8 AM

I love to start my morning with a hot lemon water and prepare a bowl of fruit or maybe a banana depending on my mood. I have wrote about the importance of both of these on my blog prior to todays post if you want to check them out :)

9 AM

I like to do a flow cycle or some type of stretching workout to prepare me for my Alexis Ren 10 min ab cycle or/ Chloe Ting ab routine cycle. I learned that doing stretching and some flow yoga before this helps me perform even better. It's also very important I do these workouts on a quite EMPTY stomach, to help maximize my cores ability.

After my workout

​I will make a wellness shot... maybe my vital proteins collagen shot, a vitamin c shot, apple cider vinegar etc... and take my vitamins. I take a daily vitamin, collagen, and iron every morning. I want to get more into probiotics like Seed but my wellness adventure has not ventured there yet... If I am still feeling hungry I will fix myself either avocado toast with lemon and salt and pepper and Kenzie Burk's body sculpting lemonade (lemon, water, cayenne pepper, and honey) or a green juice with vegan protein.

then

I will shower and try to get as ready as possible for the day. I even put shoes on trust me it helps even if you are just around the house. I will say a little prayer... my favorite is so simple just the serenity prayer
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"
or if I'm feeling rushed just a quick 
"God find me in this moment and walk with me throughout my day"
I've learned it doesn't need to be much, just make a little time to make contact with your higher power 

and by then I'll be ready to start my day
