I have come to love mornings when I started a routine!<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Mornings were never really my thing. Growing up on a farm I have had to wake up as early as 4 am to get out to the fields by 5 or so in the morning. This was so I was far enough ahead of my brother with the chopper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, as soon as I started realizing when I had a routine mornings weren’t all that bad. I still don’t really look forward to waking up early, but these things have majorly helped make the start to the day WAY better! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
I have an alarm set for every day of the week.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The weekends during the Winter I set the alarm for 9 AM. But usually let the sun wake me up. Watching the sunrise is one of my favorite things to do. I watch them with Mylo most mornings, we just sit on the bed and stare out the window as it beams in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I make myself coffee & good breakfast!<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I have started making myself lattes every morning. The simple act of slowing down while giving Otis all the attention he didn’t get while we all slept. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also have started making a real breakfast. I fry two eggs, 2 strips of bacon, and either a piece of gluten-free toast or crispt up some potatoes in a cast iron pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While breakfast is cooking I read a book in between petting Otis and check on the food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I eat breakfast in bed & watch Netflix or my favorite TV shows.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Since we no longer have TV channels or cable the mornings are when I catch up on my favorite TV shows online. OR I pick a show or movie on Netflix <\/a>to watch. If I have nothing to watch I read a new book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I update my To-Do List & Calendar for the week<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I am still old school when it comes to my calendar and to-do list. It helps me remember and stay on track. While I am catching up on my shows, I see if I need to add anything to the list and ensure all our calendars are up to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule Social Media<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I have been feeling more inspired in the morning after a cup of coffee. Which helps me right better captions for social media<\/a>. So this is when I take the time to schedule on all our feeds for the day, or until I can’t think of any more captions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of forcing captions for social media, getting mad and no posting regularly. I found that when I write down or schedule posts when I AM inspired it helps me stay on track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I start working around 11 AM<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

This is where my mourning routine comes to an end. I start the day off work <\/a>a little later in the day. As I have come to notice I am more alert, make fewer mistakes and less likely to just scroll social media<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This routine has helped me start out the day right. The few hours of quiet in the morning is like meditation. When I don’t get this I feel off for the whole day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
