Is Your Morning Routine Exhausting or Empowering? The Choice is Yours

You get to decide if every new day will be exhausting or empowering.

During the workweek, when you wake up, do you begin your day feeling exhausted? Do you struggle to get out of bed, get going, and face all that lies before you today?

Or do you begin your day feeling empowered? Do you get out of bed, get going, and face all that lies before you today ready to experience potential and possibilities?

Odds are, neither is the case. Most likely when you wake up you have a routine. Years of habitual behaviors like hitting snooze on your alarm, getting up to pee before doing anything else, stumbling to the coffee maker, and everything else that goes into your typical workweek morning ritual.

Because it’s usually habitual, you don’t see it as exhausting or empowering. Rather, you see it as a neutral, regular, unremarkable experience. It probably doesn’t even cross your mind to give it much thought or look at what impact it has on the rest of your day.

Does it have an impact on your whole day? Of course it does. How we start our day, and the choices and decisions we make as we begin, will set the tone and direction for the rest of our day.
