One of the biggest impacts and changes in my life has been starting my day in prayer and meditation. This provides me with strength and guidance for my day as well as peace that God is in control.

I’m a physical therapist. The research shows a direct relationship between strength and longevity! Lift some weights ladies! AND best news of all- you can improve strength at ANY age. 💪🏻

Breaking free from sugar and carbs was the best decision I made for myself! I’ve done this since August 2018 and never looked back! Sounds hard but after your body adapts it’s liberating!

Making my lunch before I go to work has been really impactful. I make a big salad- and it’s really boosted my daily nutrient intake- not to mention the money savings. A bonus perk is- that’s my activity while I’m waiting for my sunscreen to set before I put my makeup on. Win win! 🙂

Starting my day with prayer and feeding my spirit before my flesh sets my day up like nothing else can.

Erin, your routine is quite similar to mine! I also add a time of prayer and counting my blessings as soon as I wake up. This precious alone time helps me feel optimistic and energized as I head for my workout, coffee, etc.

Vegans who want to do the coffee can use coconut oil, use refined if you don’t want the flavor and of corse organic🌱 there are vegan collagen products now as well💛

This book changed my morning "Miracle Morning" I am so much more productive when I stick to it and some of your tips are in it. Thank you for sharing Erin!!

Hi Erin, I have been your huge follower all this time. There's not a single thing I would like you to change. Honestly your videos have educated me not only about fashion but thousand other little things mostly your kindness and real talks, they are sooo brave, honest and warm.You are such a wonderful human being. God bless you and your family 😊 Oh the one thing I never miss to do in the morning is calling my parents. They are getting old in a different country. The least I can do from here is giving them my full attention while talking over phone. You know, trying to listen every bit of whatever they wants to tell😊. They are just too precious for me to compromise 👨‍👩‍👧

**Routine & Habit Videos are my favorite topics! Thank you for sharing.... continue to share more!

I've been doing Keto since mid-Jan and I feel great! I've lost 17 lbs - but its not just the weight, its the new energy, and my gut feels great. I no longer feel terrible after eating. Thank-you for sharing your morning tips. I've been reading on my commute in to work (I used to play games on my phone) and my brain feels more alert by the time I get to work.

Bullet proof coffee is a total thing for me. Have been doing for over a year now. I also use intermittent fasting and try to only eat during an 8 -9 hour window. I use collagen in my coffee and monk fruit sweetener. There are flavored collagens out there too that can help add a sweetness if you like. I use LAIRD original creamer in my coffee too and blend it with my battery powered aero latte I purchased on amazon. I am 47 in August. I have no more sore knees. I have energy for all of my tasks. I workout at home in the mornings. I meditate and make the bed as well. I feel pretty accomplished before I even go to work.... lol. I advise anyone who is curious to do research and try a lower carb no sugar lifestyle. I have had great results. Thanks Erin for sharing!!

Very helpful. Mornings actually sets you up for the day and these tips are great to get better control over your life. Thanks for sharing Erin!

I love the top 3 tip!. I'm absolutely using that. 😁

Erin, small changes are definitely the way to go. Thanks for this.

My morning coffee ☕️ is black. No sugar or cream. Love ❤️ it.

"Fasting! I stop eating at 7:00 pm and don't eat again until 9:30 or 10:00 the next morning. On top of that, I skip eating entirely one day a week. It's not as hard as I thought it would be, and I can see improvements in my skin, sleep and weight control. Yay! Something that actually works and saves money! "A lot of doctors are now recommending differing fasting strategies (for instance, fasting before and immediately after chemo treatments vastly improves results and reduces side effects in many kinds of cancer). Read Dr. Fung's Guide to Fasting. It helps. Love, love, love your content - rabid fan, Linda

I do my top three list too every day! So i hq e a guilt free day! Thank you for sharing!

I just wanted to say that your face looks so fresh and your skin so plump, very lovely, fresh and glowing 🌸💕🌸

I love bulletproof coffee! It fills me up and gives me good energy too!

One thing I learned while living in France, is to UNmake my bed. So first thing, I throw back the duvet to let out moisture from mattress on rising. Then after I do my morning routine, I make the bed.

So good! Thank you for being so honest and open. I’m totally filling up the Yeti tonight before bed! Thanks Erin!

Very helpful video and perfect for my spring boost! We still have tons of snow in Maine, too. Thank you for such great tips! 🌷

I open up my bed to let it air. Preferably with the window open. And I make it at lunch time if I’m home. I’m Scottish but it’s a Scandinavian/ Northern European custom. It’s especially important during the menopause.. all that sweat. Yuk!! Lol. Then you have a nice freshly aired dry bed before you make it! Bliss!

I find that my morning go best if I do a lot the night before - plan outfit, make lunch, plan make up in particular. Once I’m at work my routine takes over.

Thank you for this! I have been trying to perfect my morning routine. One change I made that has helped me is waking up at the same time everyday. Be it a workday, weekend day or holiday. 😊🌞

Erin, what busy mothers and women like us can do without you! You are amazing thanks for sharing this tips, much love from Florida.

Erin... How did you know that I needed to see this video today? I’m going to start this routine tomorrow. Thanks for sharing! 🤗

These are great tips to follow. I make my bed each morning and after waiting patiently for my thyroid meds to kick in, have my bulletproof coffee. I also have to time myself watching KZfaq videos or I would make an entire day of it! Thank you!

You're such an inspiration! Love your content❤ Big Thank you from a mom who's a hot mess almost daily!!!

Yay, light looks beautiful!

Love the top 3 list. I set my phone alarm to segment my morning tasks. I allow 1 hour to "chill" drinking non bullet proof coffee and watching videos, (like this one!) but then must pick up the dishes, empty the dryer, and pull together my work outfit once my hour is over. I have an alarm also set when to leave for work. Thanks for this video...very helpful!

What a wonderful vid, so informative I'm going to try & stick a to do list of 3 things ...brilliant idea! Thanks so much for sharing 💖

I am working on implementing a morning routine that helps me be more efficient throughout my day. I appreciate your suggestions... thanks to you and your husband!

Timing your activities is a brilliant strategy. Like you, I vastly underestimated how long a task would take....partly because I would not count multi-tasks. For instance I wouldn't count the time it took to stop at the grocery store on my way home from work because I wasn't "grocery shopping", I was just "picking up a couple things". I didn't count the time it took to do the laundry because the machines were doing the work while I was cooking or cleaning. Well they weren't gathering, sorting, folding and putting clothes away and.that took time..my time. I've gotten better but this tip will help even more. I also like the 3 item list..much more realistic than mine. Thanks for the inspiration! ❤

Love you!! Such good advice. Love it all - I am looking for some change and this helped so much!!!

I really liked this video, thanks! By the way, I am a longtime follower of yours but rarely comment. I want to take a moment to tell you how very much I like watching your videos. You have helped me so much with confidence in fashion. I am a jeans and tee shirt girl, have always been timid about trying new things but you have given me courage and inspiration and I now have so much fun trying new ideas. Two years ago I had no ankle boots, was scared to death of them. Thanks to you I now own five pairs and love wearing them. That is just one example. I am so glad you have this goal of helping women, you have helped me. You do a great job.

Email details my morning each time! Love your input and I will try this all to help me in my morning routine. Thank you 😊

Hi Erin! Love such lifestyle videos! For me one small thing is to think about something positive that is going to happen that day! Even if it is later in the evening. This gives something to look forward to even if I know the day will be not easy. Love your videos, so inspirational. You look really great, the new hairstyle suits you. Thank you again!

This was AWESOME 🥰👍 Thank you SO much ! Have a beautiful day 💕 Tammy Roy 🇨🇦

Erin, I have always lived by "work first, play later" so I loved what you said about doing the least desirable task first. I should add that I'm not rigid, but I am always pleased with myself when my day is well-organized. Sounds like I need a life! LOL.

I am a super organized list making momma but I am going to try to do the planking that you mentioned.

Love this video ... it’s similar to my morning routine but I’m so excited to add the to do list to my routine ... and not looking at email or my phone till I’ve accomplished those 5 simple things

Hi Erin! I just watched the first 5 seconds and I paused to comment how wonderful your hair looks!! 😍 I would like a tutorial of this look if you ever have the time. Greetings from Greece 😘

I drink bulletproof coffee every morning! I use Brain Octane Oil =XCT oil, stevia, European butter & Jordan's Skinny Syrup ( they're AMAZING). I'm eating keto primarily to control rheumatoid arthritis. Secondarily, to keep my weight at a healthier level. I totally agree on making up your bed in the morning!!

This was such a good video. It reminded me of how much life has slowed down as I have gotten older. Once those kids are grown everything is so much easier to accomplish. Indeed I loved those years but these years are much easier. Now I never schedule anything before lunch. I love easing into the day, a real luxury for a retired school teacher. I say "NO" when I want to without feeling bad about it. I watch what I eat and walk every afternoon . I have given up coffee and sugar and carbs. Eating lots of fruit, veggies and meat. Most important I visit the grandkids often. They keep me young and happy.

Great lighting, Great tips!! Thanks for the Motivation!!😘

Good morning Erin. I have been thinking about putting the lid on my bedside water because I am concerned about my water being exposed to the air (dust) all night. I am also gong to put lemon in the water and letting it steep all night. Making your bed is a gift to yourself. Top-level self care. Mentally and emotionally, a clean warm bed invites relaxation at the end of the day. I’ve not heard of bullet coffee. Mmmmm! Looking forward to trying it. I use my planner to choice 5 top projects for the week and then 3 tasks each day to move those projects forward. Keeps me clear about what unplanned tasks are doable without taking me off my agenda. Love your channel and your credo “looking and being your best”.

Hi gorgeous!!! I do all these things too and all great advice !!! Making a list is a great one and I prioritize them and that way what I don’t get too just goes on for the next day and yes put the one your least like too first !!! Lol TFS hugs and love 💕 xoxo

Set the time- what a great idea! Right now I'm taking a break from cleaning the house and it is so easy to relax in the chair for an hour when I really should get back to work after 15-20 minutes. I'm going to give the timer a whirl. Thanks.

Great tips! I trained myself to not use any sweet on my tea and coffee, it is just like training yourself to like dark chocolate. I love sweets but I use my "sweet budgeted calories" on anything but drinks. I loved the checking the phone/email later and the 3 priority things list. I will add, do the list the night before, in that way you also get a better night of sleep knowing that you have a game plan for next day. ;)

I also make my bed every day. And I started for the same reason as you - "at least I made my bed". When I started I was a stay at home mom to two little ones and I felt like I never accomplished anything but "at least I made my bed". Also there is a book called "Eat That Frog" that talks about getting the task you hate the most done first so the rest of the day feels like a breeze. So it's a real thing!

I love the three things approach on your to do list, I implemented that a while ago and pair it with a "weekly to do list" that has less stuff on it as it approaches Friday so I can push things back without getting in trouble the next day.

Love the video I make my bed every morning also .Makes me feel good to know that I completed one thing.🙋🏼‍♀️🐶🙏

Erin, this was a great and very thought provoking video. It made me rethink my own morning routine. I plan to adapt your ideas and hope to simplify my day and get started in a positive note. And also feel that I have accomplished something. Thanks.

Oh my goodness! I love your channel. This is so inspirational, excellent content!✌🏽😄

First thing I do each day is make my bed. And I agree it makes a big difference in my day to see it has been made. I always make sure the kitchen is clean before I go to bed at night too. That helps me wind down in the evening and it feels good to enter a clean kitchen in the morning as opposed to having dirty dishes piled up that need cleaning before any meals can be prepared. Great video!

A great video! So funny, you and I share a similar type of hubby. I make these huge Sunday lists that include EVERYTHING and then by 9:30 in the evening I feel unsuccessful because I only completed a few of the tasks. We ladies load so much on our daily lists...So much to do and so little time. Great advice! I will prioritize today. But I must say, I start every Saturday and Sunday a.m. with my coffee at the front window. I watch the world go by in busy Toronto, sip on my coffee, catch up on your videos and THEN i'm ready to get to work. My guys know not to bother me during my Mom time! Have a great Sunday and thanks for the advice once again xo

Erin! This was so helpful! My life has been a little chaotic lately given a huge hole repair which displaced us from our house. And you’re just proving to me that we can continue with strong daily routines not only to keep ourselves healthy but to minimize the chaos and be in control. Thank you so much for this reminder you literally have change my life today

Hi Erin and yes, I liked this video. It’s funny I was sitting here drinking my water and drinking my bulletproof coffee while you were talking about your routine. I just recently decided to try Keto and am learning the program. After spending years and years, probably decades of only low and no fat, this is a huge change for me. Last year I had lost a lot of weight but then my body just adapted and I gained seven back (I’m past menopause) and I’ve been able to drop 2.5 pounds. I’m a big to-do list person and I make mine out the night before, I love crossing things off my list. I also have an app of daily affirmations, and I read something positive about me to start my day. Take care!

I make my To Do List way to large as well! Thanks for the tips! I've also started making a weekly list so if I get it done in the week would be good not just a day.

Hi Erin. I wish you success on Keto. I’ve been doing it for almost 2 years. I’ve lost half of myself. Best, most sustainable, diet I’ve ever undertaken. It’s a huge paradigm shift. I’m 61 and still have more weight to lose so I’m tweaking it as I go. Check Pinterest for Noatmeal recipes - it’s my favourite meal just now. The Cronometer app is awesome for tracking your macros so you know you’re covering your nutrition bases. ❤️🙋‍♀️

This was great,very helpful!could u do a video of your workout.?

Erin....you gave such good tips. I am going to watch again....you look bright and energetic.. So thats testimony to how will the tips work. Thank you for your hard work ...

This video was super helpful! I make my coffee with MCT oil and whole organic milk and it really does give me energy and helps me make it until lunch without snacking. I get the milk that is not homogenized, the cream rises to the top. It is delicious and such a pure, non processed ingredient. I will definitely try your other tips, thank you!

Great tips! Thanks! 💗

It’s called “eating the frog 🐸 “ when you do the least desired task first. It’s a great tip. You have a smart hubby. On particularly busy days when I’m at work I set an outgoing email reply that states “Im only checking messages at 9 AM and 3 PM” that way people know when they they can expect reply from me.

I totally agree about making you bed, very soon after getting up. That way there’s not a chore that dogs you all day, just do it!

I like the "to do list" tip...That's a really good idea. I LOVE my morning bulletproof coffee! (mine is with MCT oil, Collagen peptides, and half & half) Like you, I have my first meal at noon. One thing I take at about 11:00 am is PGX Daily. It's a tasteless fiber that mixes with water; it lowers the glycemic index for healthy blood sugar levels & reduces appetite-- has really helped me to shed menopausal belly fat!

Hello Erin! Thank you for another great video. They really inspire me into improving my way of functioning through the day. When I wake up the 1st thing I've been doing is my comprehensive skincare routine. The last step is sunscreen, so during those 20 mins it takes for it to dry completely I have my coffe, make and make sure my kitchen is all set, as much as my room. Then I head to work. Will work through the 3 things list, it is certainly a great idea. Your videos DO make a difference in my life, thanks again! 🤗

Love to hear your night time routine thanks love your channel💗

You look gorgeous in this video! You always look great but you are on point here. Keep up your amazing work!

Nice tips Erin! Nothing is new, but if they are put together, they are a very good reminder of what can do a difference in managing our lives. Well done!

Very impactful I love the bullet proof coffee I put colleges butter MCt and a small amount of monk fruit sweetener and 1 tablespoon heavy cream

those tips are pretty on point and easy to pick up yet leave real impact on life. i also like to write down my top three things to do on paper with clear handwriting. writing on paper seems old fashioned but do helps me pace my brain.

Great insights. Thanks for sharing!

Like you, I have a tendency to underestimate how much time it will take for any given task, and to spread myself way too thin. I end up feeling frustrated and resentful. I have learned to implement some of these tips that you are talking about. I wake up to a glass of water, I take the dog out, and then while she eats her breakfast, I do yoga, have my bullet proof coffee. I use 1tbsp. Kerrygold butter, 1tbsp of MCT oil, 1 scoop of collagen , a few drops of caramel flavored stevia and that holds me until lunch. I MUST make my bed everyday (lifelong habit), otherwise I feel like I have done NOTHING lol. I am trying to get used to prioritizing my top three tasks for the day, having a little trouble forming that habit. Don't know why really. Fear of success, perhaps:). Useful information and good reminders to take care of ourselves first. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting! I have to try that bullet proof coffee too!

1st order of business - accept “aggressive” good morning from dog. Starts the day off pretty happy.

Hello Erin! BFC is really good Im doing keto for 2 years and makes me feel so good! Makes you look younger as well,Im 47 years old nurse and no knee pain, people asked me at work why I am so energetic? !lol. I said don't eat sugar! ..Thank you for your awesome vids! Keep up the good work!

Good sound advice. I have always had a morning routine until recently it changed because I changed jobs. So, I'm a little out of sorts. Your video was a great reminder and a few really helpful things I can use to get back on track. Thanks Erin!!!

I have a similar morning routine, water first thing always! I stretch my legs while praying & saying affirmations before getting out of bed then do a quick meditation if I have time. The 3 priority to do list is very effective.

I need to do this!

Great advice! Limiting the to do list is something I have learned as well and find so helpful. After my 2nd child, I cut back to 4 days at work but would try to do everything on my day off to the point I was running around at the end of the day with 4 half finished tasks leaving me feeling unaccomplished. I also read an article that reframed self care as not only manicures and massages but also lunch prep so that you could eat healthy all week and feel better and less stressed about meals 😊

Love these tips! :) I’m gonna try the 3 things rule. I feel it will help with days I feel overwhelmed with tasks! Have a wonderful day Erin :)

So inspiring !

Wow! This was sooo helpful!!!

Yep MCT oil! Yum - I’ll add the collage too, instead of only when I have an am shake!

Thank you !! It helps a lot

Keep going with the Keto!!!! I'm 61, post-menupausal, and I LOVE KETO!!! 17 LBS DOWN IN 1 MONTH!!!!

OOH I love seeing your routines! I know I've always asked you about your routines and this is just so helpful. These were so helpful. I have the motto "worst first", which is do the yucky things first, like you said. I loved this!!! xoxox, Melissa

I started using the 3 priorities a day as well and it made a big difference!

Thank you this video is very helpful !

Love your hair....SO pretty! I was one of the few that didn't vote for you cutting your hair 😁 Great video - I am a water, bulletproof coffee, make the bed girl too. Xx

Love this!!! I'm going to look into your coffee drink as that is something that I think I'd like. Things I do... Apple Cider Vinegar - 2T with 1/3C water and a bit of stevia (this keeps the inflammation down from my arthritis - yes, I'm told it's a myth, but it doesn't hurt you and has been life changing for me). Green tea. I use the Maxi-Climber for exercise, it's compact, easy and brainless in the AM... plus the added bonus is that it doesn't stress my joints the way running did.

What collagen powder are you taking I would like to start on one

Love your hair this way. You look stunning.

You are the bomb dot com. I can't wait for your videos! You are amazing!!!

Holding ourselves accountable is important at any age isn't it?! Love the list. The bed making is such a simple thing that makes a cool statement for the start of the day. I am trying to cut way down on the phone time. If it isn't helping me or my plans then it has to be cut out or cut down.

Erin, as you can tell by my silly name, I definitely approve of you giving keto a try!!! It's worked very well for me for 3.5 years now, and I sincerely believe it's optimal, in some version, for most people. I'm obsessed with health and wellness, and have wanted to start a channel for a long time now. Keto fixes a lot of things, but unfortunately, it hasn't cured me of procrastination or being intimidated by technology. My 3 teenagers said they would help me this summer....so we'll see. I'm going to start with your "glass of cold water by the bed" tonight. Also, really like "get the worst item on the list done first." Another pearl I've been trying to incorporate lately is: Instead of thinking of tomorrow as starting when you wake up, reframe it so that tomorrow starts tonight. So going to bed a little early, or doing little things that will help the next day start off well. Simple idea, but connecting the evening with the next day, instead of just the end of the day, has been a novel concept to me. And making the bed always helps me feel better too.
