How Do You Feel about Mornings?

How Do You Feel about Mornings?

Do you struggle with mornings? Have ever felt like you hate them and would rather start the day in the afternoon?

If you're answering yes to those questions (even occasionally), the first question to consider in this post is what do you wish your mornings were like, instead? Take a moment to answer that for yourself.

How would an ideal morning feel?

Because before we start talking about what to do differently, and what and how to change, the first thing we're after is the feeling you want. What feeling would make you glad you got up when you did?

My answer to that question is peace. That's the foundation of what I want. On top of that, I might add things like an unhurried experience, moments of simple pleasures (like my morning tea) and the quiet alone time that makes it easy to accomplish the priorities I have chosen for the day.

But the underlying feeling I am after each morning is peace.

What is it for you?

Morning Makeover:
​Journal Prompts

Give your mornings a makeover, by identifying what's not working, what might work better and what is non-negotiable in order to for you to create a morning you want to wake up to each day.

Grab your journal and first, write down how you want your mornings to feel.

Then, ask and answer these questions...

(1) What do I most want to change about my experience each morning?

(2) What would perfect look like?

(3) Have I ever had a great morning? What did that look like?

(4) What do I already know how to do (self-care practices, troubleshooting in other areas, etc.) that I could use to shift the way mornings feel? How might moving more slowly through morning help?

(5) What can I try tomorrow morning that might make a difference?

See you next time!
