6 Ways To Kickstart Your Morning

Sometimes just getting out of bed is a solid win for the day. Especially on the days when grief is especially hard, or your mind is full of all the things you need to do. If you are up and going already you are already killing it today. Go you! If you need a little kick start to your day here are some things that have been helpful for me.

1- Don’t hit snooze! ⏰ That snooze starts a vicious cycle for me. Too often it’s “ok just 5 more minutes” but then times 12. 😬 You have two choices right when you wake up in the morning. Hit the ground running orrrr roll back over. I have noticed a huge difference when I immediately get out of bed.

2- Pray. 🙏🏻 I go pretty much right to my knees when I wake up. It really sets the tone to start my day. I thank my Heavenly Father for my another new day with new opportunities and ask for help to do at least one thing He would have me do. I pray for my kids and husband and anything else that we might need for the day.

3- Drink some warm lemon and honey water.🍋Warm lemon water is so good for your gut, it’s a good detox first thing in the morning, and an immunity booster.

4- Read my scriptures.📖I love to drink my warm lemon water first thing in the morning while studying my scriptures.

5- Eat breakfast!!!🥛I am not a big breakfast eater. I often just grab a protein shake, or a green smoothie (google Kimberly Snyder’s Glowing Green Smoothie!).

6- Play some sweet tunes!! 🎶 Music really helps me get my morning going. My kids also love it. I will share my Spotify “Good Morning” playlist in the link tree on my bio.

BONUS: I also really love having an affirmation for my day, or the week depending on what I feel like I need. I can do another post on this if there is interest but for example my affirmation today is “Everything works on my behalf. New possibilities are available for me.” ♥️

I finish getting ready for the day, do some yoga or go for a walk, and then get some work done before I pick my daughter up from preschool.

Good morning! Summer is sooo close!☀️
