I wake up 90 minutes before I have to start getting ready for work, and sit outside on the back patio to journal & sip a cup of coffee for an hour. I've been doing this for 40 years. Bliss!

This woman makes me want to put my whole life together everytime

I need to work on my morning routine. Every night I spend so much time watching KZfaq that I cannot manage to get up early.

1 wake up an hour before you need to (when you have to leave the house or when your kids are up) 2 get up as soon as your alarm goes off 3 let sunlight in 4 drink water 5 make your bed 6 brush teeth, apply skincare cold (from fridge) to energise 7 do laundry in small manageable chunks, do two loads weekly 8 start diffuser to uplift and energise 9 play music 10 a drink that excites you like coffee or tea 11 breakfast is a must 12 watch KZfaq or listen to podcast; don’t check email or Twitter until ready mentally 13 quick clean up 14 do makeup in five minutes 15 plan day on google keep

First thing I do before I even “jump” out of bed is I thank God for my life and another beautiful day, tell him I love him and ask for his blessings and for me to bless him today also! It sets the day off with great happiness, enthusiasm and energy!

"At 6:30 am I open the blinds and let the sunshine in". ....at 6:30 in Chicago when I wake up the only shine is from the moon.... 😅

What helps me big time in the morning is setting the coffee timer at night so my coffee is ready when I get up. I also run my dishwasher at night and set my delay start on my washing machine so all I have to do in the morning is pour my coffee, switch over the laundry to the dryer, and empty the dishwasher. Easy peasy. :). Great video !

You ever notice KZfaqrs always wake up after sunrise? It’s still pitch black outside whenever I have to wake up. 😒😩

It’s so crazy how much one hour can do for you when you are to yourself!! I love the mornings I wake up before my son! I get so much more done

For at least an hour I like to crochet, watch birds, and drink my coffee, in nice weather I sit on my deck. Because I am retired now and I have been going, going, going all my life and I like to just enjoy the slow speed and think about how blessed I am. Then I make breakfast and get on with my day.

Retired teacher here. I’ve always needed an hour at least before I need to leave or do anything. First, time with the Lord. ❤️

These are great tips! I am a night person, and some of these can be applied to us too! 1. I like to make sure the house is clean and dishes done before bed (it makes it nice when you wake up!) 2. Lining up tomorrow’s clothes! Saves time and helps prevent lounging all day in PJs. 3. Writing a few of the main things you want to remember to do the next day (but not an overly detailed list because your priorities may change around events that pop up) 4. Since my husband is a morning person, I like to get my relaxing alone time in the evening, and 5. I like to hula hoop for a little bit before bed in the living room. (It helps reduce air/bloating before bed and helps tire you out for sleeping!) In conclusion you can ALWAYS apply great habits even if you have a different time schedule! :)

My number one thing is I spend 15 minutes reading the bible, in prayer, & journaling. If I don't do this it effects my whole day. When I keep my life Christ-centered by making habits that I stick to it makes me happier, helps me take better care of myself, gives me a better outlook on life & helps me keep my priorities straight and not worry about other people.

6:56 she said really load it up with 2 sprinkles of cheese I'm over here thinking, for me, load it up would have been half the bag haha

I love to have 30-60 minutes to myself. To get a load of dishes on/clean the counters, and to be able to enjoy a tea or coffee alone while watching a show or just look at the Christmas tree lol

I have some serious "Laundry Room" envy going on.

The only KZfaqr that I actually listen to

I love getting up two hours earlier than I actually have to be! Literally time to do everything I don't want to do after work in the evening.

Even if you don’t “get dressed” as in wearing a nice shirt and jeans - just change your clothes. Put on a new shirt and leggings so you can still be comfy!

These were some great ideas! Personally, I pray to my Heavenly Father. Couldn't face my day without thanking Him for the day ahead and asking for my family, friends, and loved ones. I also spend some time reading the scriptures. My day goes so much better than when I don't do these steps!!!

It would definitely have to be my time with God. Being a mom of 3, I find I need that time alone with my creator to be mindful the rest of the day and remember how blessed I am. Regardless of how bad my day can get. Love your videos! 😍

I think it’s important for everyone, especially mom’s or person who shares their space, to take time for themselves.

Brittanys personality is so beautiful. Definitely a breath of fresh air here on KZfaq. You remind me of that one friend every mommy needs to have in her life. ❤️

It's interesting you mentioned waking up 1 hour earlier. My friend started doing that and she swears it does miracles. I think I'm going have to give it a go!

Excited to watch. Could you possibly do a video that addresses finding motivation when you’re depressed? 😭

Two smaller loads a week? I feel like I do twenty five loads of laundry a day.

God knew I needed this video in my life from one of my beloved You Tubers 😩😭 my depression has been at an ultimate high that I feel like it's taken over my life...I wake up with "0" energy and want nothing more than to be in bed all day with the blinds closed. It's terrible, I never use to be this person but I'm trying so hard to start now a different routine so I can start off 2020 with a bang! Thanks to this inspiring video I will definitely be changing up something. ❤️

I HAVE to shower every morning. My brain doesn’t start working till I’ve showered.

I wake up at 5:30 and chill out in bed with a movie and a coffee until I actually start getting ready at 7. Best morning ever.

I needed this so much. Life has been really hectic - both because I've been promoted at work (which has made my workdays incredibly intense and stressful, causing me to just 'crash' at home) and because it's been a really, really hard year (I have lost a lot of loved ones). I'm starting therapy for PTSD after watching my friend die and am dealing with what I can only interpret as a small pre-midlife crisis (early 30s) and I haven't felt like myself for most of the year. Part of that is because I used to always have routines. I'm taking this as a sign to push myself to start going through the motions again. Thank you Brittany for always being so motivating by being so real.

I'm retired but I still have a 17 year old daughter at home. I get her up at 6. While she is showering and getting ready for school I make her a hot (packed) lunch and a hot breakfast. I clean everything up and have coffee. Then I shower and start my day. I always make my bed, do laundry and get on with my to do list which I make weekly and check the night before. I've been cleaning out my house after years living with 5 kids! I love being organized and I never leave the house without everything in place. My daughter is very organized too and keeps her two rooms very nice. Getting up in the morning early really is the key! Love your videos!

I feel this to a SPIRITUAL level, as a college student, I feel the same way if my apartment is messy or if I leave feeling that I don't have my bed made. I feel like a MESS the rest of the day haha LOVE THIS VID

”get up and open the blinds” laughs near the arctic circle: why? to let the darkness in?

I start my day with superfoods coffee and then either a 30-min walk or a 10-min workout. Then I’ll eat breakfast. Thx for your suggestions. I need to stop looking at my phone first thing. Merry Christmas 🎄

Getting my run in or workout early is such a great day starter

Pick my outfit and accessories the night before. It is life changing!

I wish someone would gift me those lg products 😍😩

Not sure if these tips are feasible for middle class working people who already have to wake up at 5am. But I still enjoy watching 😊

The first thing I do right when I get out of bed/wake up is make my bed. It makes me feel so accomplished and productive and I enjoy it very much!

I love to meditate on an empty stomach in the morning ! I always feel a difference ( low energy throughout the day) when I snooze my alarm and convince myself I shouldn’t do it! That’s the main thing I’ve been trying to consistently do every morning now

At first I though, wow that Styler machine is cool but $2,000 is more than my mortgage payment but PHEW they’re having a sale! $1.00 off! Thanks LG! 😂

Write in my journal: 5 things I’m grateful for 5 affirmations How do I want to feel today What do I want to give today What do I want to receive today

I was surprised to see that I wasn't the only retired person who watches Brittany's channel! :) I get up, make the bed, swish-swipe the baths, put in a load of laundry, and go into my kitchen, where my hubby and I take turns bringing each other a cup of delicious coffee. I ask my Google Home Mini Assistant, "What's going on in the world", and it gives me the weather and world news. My husband reads his Kindle devotions and sometimes I do too, that is if I don't fall back asleep in my recliner. That is one of the good things about retirement. You can go back to sleep. :)

I do everything you've described except... I plan my day the evening after dinner and chores are done but before my self-care and mellow out routine. The next day I'll wake up 2 hours before heading out the door because I cuddle my hubby and then our dog. Whoever gets out of bed last makes the bed. Afterwards, I drink water, make coffee or black tea then do my Bible reading and praying. Only after all that I do everything else you mentioned. I'm grateful for videos like yours because it motivates me to stay or get back on track. Thank you ❤️

Carter’s tiny wittle coat!!! 😩😭

-My first hour is to pray and just that God for what I have -Shower & skin care routine -Get a head start of breakfast for the family

I start my morning reading my Bible and praying along with a cup of coffee. It literally keeps me sane. It’s nicer in the warmer months when I can sit on our patio and include a little bird and deer watching. It’s so relaxing enjoying His creation. Love your videos Brittany, you are such an inspiration and a very sweet soul. Thank you for bringing a little bit of joy to everyone’s day, you’re such a blessing.

I read my bible and say my confessions right after my shower. I have been doing this now for over a month. Game changer!

I force myself to drink water too especially since i have acne i have been trying to consume more water

Brittany, I have watched this six times. Whole heartedly. I am so ready to absorb all things productive for 2020. This video may seem like minor habits to some but this is totally helping me. Thank you so much.

I literally just put myself on a social media timeout because I needed a reset! I was NOT being productive and i needed to get my life in order. So it's been a week now? Still trying to set goals and establish a routine, and the 1ST thing I'm trying to do is PRAY. Get into a bible study and/or God's word. Of course I'll make a cup of coffee as well. 🙌🏾🙏🏾 it's really been keeping me more patient, calm , and in a better mood! Thank you Jesus!

When I can get that alone time in the morning I have a cup of coffee and read a devotional. My newborn is not quite on schedule so my time varies. I definitely need to up my water intake, great tip to have the bottle already filled and waiting for you in the a.m!

I’m going to do a experiment this week! I’ll be back to let you know how my one hour goes!

“Skin fridge” will NEVER get old!

This video really touched me. I sleep too late because I stay up too late. I don't have kids at home anymore, one is in Heaven now, and the other chooses to not have anything to do with his family. I don't work, however I am a full-time caregiver to my disabled mom. I suffer from deep depression & anxiety, after the death of my son. Your videos are SO positive & encouraging, but I don't even know where to begin to make positive changes. We are not an organized family, which is mainly my fault, but it's hard when you have 3 people living in a small 1 bedroom apartment. So I struggle daily with my life. But your videos uplift me, that maybe there's hope even for my situation. So I keep watching, praying that your tips, hacks & life advice will eventually motivate me to make the necessary changes I NEED to make! I have a beautiful 7yr old grandson who needs me, and needs me to live my best life. Somehow, someway, I know I will get there!!! So just want you to know how much your videos are helping people in ways you could never dream of. Thank you Brittany!!! You have the sweetest family, Carter is the sweetest Lil guy and you & Ryan are the best parents. God Bless you!!!! 😊

I drink my water first thing after getting dressed, I always eat Breakfast, and read my Bible and Pray, gets my day started off right. Love your videos

After I walk the dogs, I like to eat breakfast leisurely while I read my devotional. Best start of the day!

Omg I can relate to having to get up as soon as the alarm goes off.. if I don't everything will go downhill from there 🙈 Also love all your videos ❤️

The first thing I try to make sure I do each morning before my feet hit the floor is prayers. If I jump up to soon I feel horrible when I realize I accidentally skipped saying my prayers. Usely do to stressing or rushing if I do. Just makes my day so different. Full of grace gets me through the day. Happy new year everyone!!!😘 is anyone fulfilling their new year resolutions??

Just discovered your videos...love all the tips ..learning so much...i take an hour to just sit and pray and read my bible every morning before i start my day ...love from south africa🇿🇦

Can you make the diffuser with a white base and white cord? It's so pretty! Thumbs up if you agree.

Amazing tips. I get up at 4:30 every weekday morning to go to the gym and then back home to get ready for work and my daughter off to school. At 4:30 I'm in zombie mode going through the motions but I am definitely going to put into practice your list of morning habits!! Love them. Thank you for the inspiration.

I started waking up before my kids about a year ago. It makes me a better mommy. I get up, drink coffee in bed, brush teeth and workout for an hour. It sets me up for a good day! I do dine form of dance workout which puts me in an amazing mood!

I try each day to thank God for the day he has given me. A daily devotional is the most positive way to start the day!

I’m watching this at 10pm from bed and now I’m hungry and want some of those crispy fried eggs 🥚🥚🥚🍳😋

My morning routine is seasonal. In winter I am in hibernation, barely getting ready as needed. I get more active mornings rest of the year. I admire people living in north with dark mornings all year long. I am a morning person, but I need the sun and its light to get me started. Night is for sleep, so getting up at night is difficult 😄

I love praying in the morning. Talking to God just uplifts my mood so much

I am a 53 year old Mom, Grandma and "wife". Oh, how I wished I could be this happy, content & organized every morning when I wake up - unfortunately, I've worked (except during 2 maternity leave times) for 39 years. I started peeling potatoes for a local restaurant at age 14. Grew up very poor back east and moved to AZ when I was 15. I never had the option to the feel-good stuff like this at all. Always had to put in my half of the marriage - stay home wife??? What is that? I hope my daughter-in-laws can have this in their lives and I will be sharing this with them! Hugs, from Mesa, AZ

Yes!! My favorite type of video. Favorite morning routine is hot black coffee and check emails. I do intermittent fasting so no breakfast. I need a quicker eye makeup routine though.

I love that concealer, thanks to your mom 🤣 it's the first one I've tried that is high enough coverage, without drying my undereyes!

I sleep with a blanket on top of my covers too!!!! 😍 Woooowww. Thanks for making me feel less off about that!

I have been waking up an hour early since my children were small. The hour I have to myself before everyone gets up truly does help me start the day in such a better place, mentally and physically. Great tips Brittany! 💗

I sleep on top of my covers too! Never met anyone else who has lol

first thing I do after I wakeup in the morning is Run to Bathroom n get fresh and then make myself Tea(Indian flavored) that gives me a kick to start my day

Putting the washing in the machine at night so I can just push the button and turn it on in the morning helps SO MUCH!

I’ve watched so many morning videos trying to figure out how to make it work. This is the best one I’ve seen girl and that’s sincere. Will be watching again in order to take notes

me watching this art 1am thinking i have my life together.

Carter’s little coat is so cute!!! ❤️ Laundry room GOALS! 👏

I enjoy having prayer and devotion ALONE. I don’t want to b disturbed during this time bc it is personal. ☺️

I don't have a set wake-up time (because the only worry is my dogs getting outside) so I take my morning to have some coffee, drink some water, and take care of my plants before I go downstairs to make sure the kitchen is ready. I'm also currently cleaning and tidying and decluttering the whole house (I live with my parents though, so some things I need their help for)

I will never do any of these things but this was interesting to watch!

Love your tips. So Inspiring I like to drink warm lemon water to start my day and then I drink a green drink. I email myself the night before on things I have to do the following day

I have the same washer and only recently discovered the "sanitize" setting - I had towels that I thought I would have to throw away because after a couple of regular washes, they still smelled mouldy - until, BING! ONE santitize cycle and they were like brand new.

I get up super early. But I agree I make plans, respond to people messages and do what we call brain dumping...just get it out on paper to get it out, and all while having coffee. I love my alone time before hubby and dogs get up for the day. I now want this laundry system so bad, my family calls me the laundry queen. With this system I can rule the world . LOL You are so beautiful and pleasant to watch. I love all the life hacks/tips , thank you for entertaining content.

The sweet cream creamer is my FAVORITE! 😍 such a great video girl!

where did you get those drop earrings? they’re beautiful!

I need to implement this into my life. I wake up at the same time as my toddler and it sets my day off on the wrong foot not having time for myself beforehand.

I always wake up an hour before I have to. I drink my coffee, meditate and I used to read the paper, but now its Facebook. Have to have that time for myself. I've been doing that since my daughter was born, 36 years ago. My doc got me doing it, and I still love it.

Hey Brittany I’d love to see a video on making the 2020’s your decade and how to set yourself up well for the next 10 years with motivation etc xx

I am genuinely so jealous of your Landry room . It’s literally my dream lol is that weird ??? That’s all I need in life lmfao

So great! My 3 girls need to get on the school bus for a 6:39 am pick up! So I wake up around 5:15 and the girls up by 5:45 so they have enough time to get ready. When we have enough time, the girls are relaxed, not rushed, and catch the bus!

I wake up at 6 am everymorning,but when you have 2 kids in school your morning goes by,by getting their breakfast and lunch ready for school ect. Do get going I also get dressed and make my bed asap! Helps alot :)

$2,000 for a steamer is insane! I’ll stick to my $50 one 😊

I live to be as organized as you one day.

I’ll open my curtains( if I don’t the birds outside my window chirp until I do. Been doing this for the past 15 years. I love this way of waking u with nature! I take care of my face then I meditate, read my positive affirmation board. I too drink water and fix a breakfast. Love your routine! Here’s to great mornings!

I love this! As a mom it's hard to find time for self care!! The morning is perfect! Thanks as always!! 💜

I sleep on top of my bed too, thought it was just my own freak flag thing.

praying my Rosary makes me start my day on the right track

GIRL HOW DID YOU KNOW I NEEDED THISSSSSS. I struggle so hard to wake up but I have the hardest time even though I love doing it. I can't go to bed earlier because I don't even get home until 11-11:30PM. Hopefully this is the inspiration and motivation I needed to get out of bed. So nice to see you uploading more again

I love watching what everyone on KZfaq does differently. There’s always a little nugget that you can take from everyone out there and use in your life. I do have to say we’re in such different worlds. I about spat out my coffee when I heard you do two small loads a week. 😂 Being a mom of four and infant twins at the end my laundry is off the chain! Lol love the diffuser tip. I really need to set the stage more with that when I get up. One place I’ve found a great place to start is with FlyLady’s routines. Her app reminds me what cleaning tasks are on tap for the week. I start my first load of laundry in the morning so I can swap out and reload later.
