It goes without saying that depending on how your mornings go, it can dictate how the rest of your day will be like. Lately I’ve been trying to minimize my stress in the mornings so I can have a easier day for the sake of my baby and myself. Here are some tips I have for my morning routine that helps me!
1. Eat a healthy breakfast
You guys know I love my fruits, so starting my day off with a cup of fruit already makes me happy. Now that I’ve quit coffee, eating fruit in the morning gives me more energy. A favorite of mine is also almond butter on toast with jelly. I introduced this to the girls at my office and they loved it, it’s now a breakfast staple at our office! Occasionally I also like to put chia seeds into my water, even though Allen thinks it’s gross..
2. Get inspired for your outfits
Let’s face it, deciding on an outfit definitely takes more time out of your morning than it should. In an ideal world, we’d just pick out our outfits the night before so we can wake up and get dressed effortlessly. But what if when you wake up in the morning and you’re just not feeling the jeans and booties? I get my outfit inspirations from instagram and magazines, so I like to pull out inspirations and keep them by my beside table for outfit ideas.
3. Write it down
I like having a breakdown of my day written down on a notebook so that I can look over it while I’m eating breakfast or before I sleep just so I know exactly what my day will look like. Sometimes when things get so busy it’s easy to forget, so writing them down helps prepare me for the day and keeps me on track. Syncing my google work calendar to my phone also allows me to easily access my calendar no matter where I go!
4. Start Your Day POSITIVE
A while back I’ve taken to writing positive post-it notes that I tack on to my mirror or notebook to remind me of the things that are important to me and what I want to live by. Mentality is everything, and I love starting out my day positively to set my foundation for the day. And no matter what kind of day I’m having, having little reminders (like Captain on my screen saver) keeps me grounded throughout the day.

Mornings used to be so hectic that it’s usually not until lunchtime where things slow down enough for me to start taking care of my body. But now that I have this baby, I’ve become a lot more health conscious. Being healthy starts not only physically but mentally as well. Taking measures to reduce your stress in the morning can do wonders for the rest of your day, trust me! What are some ways you guys prepare for your mornings? Share with me in the comments below!

Great tips! I’m starting a new job Monday, and these will help make the transition less hectic.
Thank you for this post. I’ve always struggled with keeping a monthly planner and keeping my days organized but you just gave me the idea of writing my days down instead of in a monthly-way! I’ve been following you on instagram but this is actually my first time on your actual blog and I found it so nice. xo

Having that kind of diary is such a good idea, I should try that since I easily forget about less important things throughout the day…^^
Chriselle,
What an inspired topic! I’ve always tried to start my day positively 🙂
Btw, I had my dog on the phone’s lock screen too 🙂

Hi Chriselle!
I start my day with a good breakfast, a bike ride (to work), and some hot tea. The bike ride always gets me pumped for my day!
Question – I was wondering what a girl (and guy) should wear to a black-tie optional event! I’m so confused.
Thanks! 🙂
Btw, your lipstick is fabulous!

The thing about the diary is actually … a superb great idea! I tend to easily forget important issues, so I may use this in the future. Thanks for the advice !

This is such a great post! I love to start my morning with a nice breakfast (i.g. oatmeal and smoothie), positive affirmations and maybe some nice music!
Btw, I just did a post with my morning playlist that helps to set me in the right mood for the day 😉 http://alinaermilova.blogspot.com/2014/09/my-morning-playlist.html

2:47 AM? Damn you’re am early riser. Lol. Thanks for the post. My mornings can get hectic dressing three children and then myself. It’s important to find that 10_15 minute window to be by yourself.
Positive thinking helps me get through the day. Reading my bible right before my work day starts helps me get through the day too. I used to exercise in the mornings before (I don’t anymore though and I hate it), and it helped a lot to make me feel light and my brain clear and sharp.

Starting your day positive is a must!
It also helps me a lot to listen to music and stretch a little bit, then I am ready to face the day 🙂

Those are great tips, though I am not too sure about those chia seeds in a glass of water, haha!

I love your post on stress management. Its so unconventional than the usual stress busters that we get littered around the web. Its fun, quirky and perhaps more useful to me. Thanks for the tips especially your 2nd tip on outfits. I think being in love all over again with what you already love is the best part of everything.
Great topic ^_^
Love! I wish I had the time for a proper breakfast 🙁

These tips are amazing! I always start off my mornings so sluggishly and I don’t feel like moving 20 minutes after I’m awake… I usually skip my breakfast thanks to actually getting up late, so starting now, I promise myself to get out of bed on time to power myself with a healthy breakfast! P.S. your breakfast idea seems amazing!

This is great! I fully agree on eating a lot of fruit and a healthy breakfast! Makes such a big difference 🙂 http://www.iliamura.blogspot.com
