I filmed this a couple weeks ago before lots of people were ordered to work from home or lost their jobs due to COVID-19 closures. Most of my gigs that require travel have been cancelled, and to be honest I haven't started my "dream routine" - I've been watching Westworld and sleeping on the couch. Please don't feel pressure to be extra productive right now - take care of yourself first! Listen to my guided meditation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndiVf7Jet6-1dqc.html do something in my "overwhelmed routine" video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJ5ppqpjqr-2nIU.html or watch these chill youtubers to calm you down in these confusing times: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLGaicSb277JqZs.html Love y'all like a cousin!

@@TimeisUp22 Honestly, I didn't use any videos, sorry I can't help in that area, but I did set a "mommy alarm" to get me up in the mornings. Whatever little things you do that make you feel good, I would just do that. When I get up early, I might take a shower, read, or even finish my tea WHILE it's still hot. lol The morning tasks sometimes change depending on my need for the day, but I do make it my goal to at least get up. Even if I'm up just an hour before them, it still helps. I'm not gonna hold you tho, it's still difficult some days, especially now that he's teething so his sleep schedule is off... but I just remind myself of how good I feel when I start my mornings as opposed to letting other things start my morning and it's worth it to push through and get up. I'm not sure what time your little one gets up, but try to get up an hour or so before her and just give yourself some time. You'll be surprised at how quickly your body adjusts. It's hard mama, but we're built for this! You can do it!

My morning routine has collapsed over the last few weeks as I try to adjust to this "new normal." But as a WFH veteran, and can confirm that routines are important to both your productivity and your mental and physical health. It takes time to figure out what works best for you and your household (if you share a space with other people), and you may need some "trial and error" time. But stick with it and give yourself some grace. It's worth it.

Been doin' this lately and it's super great: 1) Wake up (mostly groggy AF lately, but sometimes well-rested...but mostly exhausted...) 2) DON'T reach for the phone right away. F*ck you news cycle. 3) Washroom. Do the things. Freshen up, brush teeth, weigh yourself, put on contacts/glasses, whatever. 4) HYDRATE - get that wata' in. 5) Grab phone. Don't read about the apocalypse. Don't go on social platforms (yet) put on Spotify, a happy playlist! 6) Tidy up. Put clean dishes away, ponder what you might want for breakfast, feed the pet if you have one, drink more water, wipe down counters. 7) Get dressed in some comfies. 8) Meditate. (Sit comfy, use an app if needed, or a guided meditation on KZfaq. Calm yourself, breathe deep, think, or don't, look inside yourself). 9) Feelin' great! Now you can pretty much do whatever you want. I usually have breakfast at this point so as not to get hangry. 10) Exercise: this could just be a walk outside, or a HIIT workout, or yoga. Then either: - shower and get ready for the day or - stay in comfies and clean, de-clutter, journal, call a friend, work, whatever. - EAT LUNCH! Don't forget to eat healthy meals regularly to keep yourself sane during this messed up time. - Afternoon should be fun stuff; gaming, netflix, watch youtube, read a book, have a dance party.

I hear this so hard. I will say I finally have a mor ing routine, but it took a while for me to develop it... like a year long while... I knew how i WANTED to start my day but couldn't seem to drag myself put of bed to do it all. I started just adding one thing a month after several months of inconsistency. It's much easier to wake up up only 5 minutes earlier than you have all month than trying to wake up an hour earlier just so you can do all of it all at once from the very beginning. Add just one step to your routine each month so you dont get exhausted and stop doing it!

I have a morning routine that’s not rigid. I give myself 2-3 hours (depending on what time I wake up) of me time. Some days it includes journaling, sometimes reading, sometimes meditation sometimes devotional, and scripture of the day etc. sometimes it’s all of the above. Other times it’s music and dancing, or cooking breakfast, but the point is that it’s my free time to do whatever I want before I start my workday.

Honestly, in quarantine, a morning routine makes a HUGE difference in how much like garbage I feel. I like to premake breakfasts, so I'll throw a breakfast burrito in the toaster oven, start the coffee, hop in the shower, and put on actual clothes. It is LIFE SAVING (for me)

Honestly, all creatives always talk about waking up at 3-5 AM and a sis just CAN’T. I rather go to bed at 3-5 AM because I was writing. So I think your goals of just making breakfast and showering are legit. Especially during this lockdown, now that I’m at my desk for MOST of the day between work and class, I have to remind myself to take a bathroom break lmaoo. So I understand how showering and breakfast can get lost within your day. I’m rooting for you!

As long as you're being productive and also setting aside time for yourself, it's fine. I don't think its mandatory to have a set routine, but it definitely helps. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer before being evacuated and brought back to the US. I used to have a daily checklist and tried my best to check everything off on that checklist. Shower, eat, drink 100oz water, pray, devotion and water plants were an everyday thing. Other things were read a book, practice Spanish, something else important and then to call a loved one. Now, I'm currently in a 2 week self-quarantine. My routine has been waking up to eat, shower and Netflix. Or shower, eat and Netflix. I had a Spanish lesson this morning, talked to 6 different people today and edited a podcast episode today to be productive. I told myself that I'm going to do my podcast course tomorrow, so hopefully I'll do it. If not, it'll be shower, eat, Hulu and possibly Netflix.

@PurpleSkykt 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your honesty, however, you asked for suggestions and I'm able to give one. So, I do have a morning routine but it took some time getting there. When I wake up for work, after my toilet time and bathroom shananagens, I come in my room to do a 10 minute meditation. After, I may scroll through my phone, mindlessly, for a bit or just start getting dressed. I have my breakfast, which is cereal because I'm not trying to be late for work. Pack my lunch that's either dinner from the night before or a sandwich I prepped or made that morning, lets not forget my in between snacks. Make my coffee and then I'm out the door. Now that I'm working from home, for whatever the reason, I still wake up damn early but instead of getting ready for work, I would lay in bed for maybe 30 minutes before getting up to do my bathroom routine. I would then meditate for 10 minutes, get dressed (pajamas or sweats) and prepare my lunch which has been eggs with string cheese or yogurt, until I feel for cereal again. My thing is, I made this routine because it's not about anyone else but me at that time. I can't do be like Steve Jobs and I don't have any kids but moving around when the house is quiet is my way of creating my peace. Plus I'm seeing a nutritionist who is helping me with my meals, which I enjoy more than I expected. It's your rhythm, whatever floats your boat should be your vehicle in creating a better morning routine in my honest opinion. But I do enjoy you, girl. Thank you for being you lol

( My job is on pause due to COVID-19, so I'm trying to declutter my apt., read, avoid spending too much time on the overwhelming amount of IG lives and challenges going on right now😑, etc.) *I need to start working out in the morning again, but I'm not there yet. I'm hoping to get back into it soon, though!

Since school (which is my work) is out my morning routine has SUFFERRRRRED!!! haha I used to try and do yoga in the mornings BUTTTT I realized I feel much healthier and have more energy when I spend that time making and having a meal. Nobody has a lot of time in the morning, so I boil a sweet potato and have it with salad. It is soft and yummy and so filling and delicious. The time it takes to make and sit down and have the actual meal is my version of *self care* and makes me feel like a human. Trying to keep it up doing quarantine times. #babysteps

Girl people are just crazy in our society today. What's the point of living if we need to schedule everything? Come to France! 🇫🇷 What I love the most about creative people is that we have the gift of knowing how much we need to express our creativity. And anything that threatens that just cannot co-exist. I don't have any morning routine. I go with the flow. I have a schedule for my meetings, calls, appointments and anything that evolves others. But then when it comes to working out, yoga etc... I just go with the flow. Sometimes I'm painting, sometimes I'm dancing, sometimes I get up early do yoga, sometimes not. Sometimes I eat, sometimes not. Sometimes I eat crap or a snack and thats great, sometimes I crave vegetables and a smoothie. Sometimes I go out and have a lot of energy sometimes I stay in bed and let my creative brain do its thing. What I love the most is feeling I am free!

hey cuz 🤘🏾 i too have struggled in the past w/ not following other people’s morning routines, or decoration ideas, or bullet journal formats just bc i like the way it looks/feels for _them_ i fixed it by paying more attention to what rly feels good to me first! i started taking inspiration not just from stuff that looks good, but stuff that tastes, sounds, & feels good my favourite drink that takes time to make but is sweet and worth the effort. my favourite band tee shirt that’s lowkey raggedy as hell but is cozy. my favourite song to hear in the morning that makes me feel like i’m clearing my head. “what would it look like if i designed a wardrobe, or a morning routine, or a journal around how these things make me feel?” that’s what’s been working for me!

I just feel more normal when I get up and get dressed before working from home. I wfh on a normal basis (pre quarantine) so it’s been my goal to at least style my hair and put on decent clothes. I feel more awake when I do that too

I love this, you're so creative!! I have no morning routine other than coffee and food of some sort. I would love to get a routine but I am just not a routine kind of gal.
