how to BUILD A MORNING ROUTINE that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE as a mom + on a health journey

Hey friends!! I wanted to do a sit down/chat style video today going over the different ways I completely transformed my life by switching up a few things in my morning & evening routine. It really took just analyzing my current routine to see what was and wasn’t working for me in the stage I’m at in life. I’m a mom to 4 boys so finding a way to prioritize them and their needs + my own seemed impossible but I PROMISE you, it’s not! 👏🏻 So I wanted to share a few of the small adjustments that made BIG improvements in my life to hopefully inspire someone who was maybe in the same shoes I was in not too long ago.🫶🏻

OMG Ashley that was unbelievable. I am 74 and not happy about so many things about myself and just watching this video has inspired me , I was meant to see this video. Thank you for putting so much effort into all your videos I love them.

[@AC-iw5mv]

This is extremely relatable and such good advice, I like that you are honest it helped me realise I am the exact same I stay wake late wasting time and then can‘t get up in the morning 😢😅 thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@natvtxn1213]

I've said it before....this is your calling, to be a motivational speaker. Something clicks through you. I know I personally felt motivated by your April/May video where you stated, "Six months will still come". I started losing weight, being mindful of eating habits, focusing on positivity and working out. I've lost 25 lbs in almost 3 months. It all started with you girl. Thank you! 😍

[@Victory9919]

I could seriously cry. I am a new mom that has the same habits you described and I feel stuck. This was soo encouraging and made me feel less alone.

[@elizabethlane4617]

@Victory9919 praying for you this evening!!! Be gentle on yourself and give yourself grace…it will all get better and better especially with some of her great suggestions 😊

[@YazWhyNY]

Love seeing these summaries on other videos so I'm sharing what I've written down! - Have a solid evening routine. - Have everything prepared the night before (ex: clothes, meals, etc). - Get inspired (ex: listen to an encouraging podcast, etc). - [If you want to improve your health] Pre-log your meals the night before. - Move your body (find something YOU love).

[@yazzyaz17]

I'm on week 4 of doing almost everything you mentioned in this video. Not only do I feel physically better, but my mental health is thriving. This video just inspires me to continue what I am doing so thank you! ❤

[@ConradKurtMorgan]

I bet it was therapeutic. You do that everyday alone ?

[@yazzyaz17]

@@ConradKurtMorgan yes, 5-6 days a week/alone. I love the routine now and definitely has been therapeutic.

[@ConradKurtMorgan]

@@yazzyaz17 that’s a good one Where are you from ?

[@kb19907]

Best video ever!! So inspiring. Thank You. I wake up and read The Bible, its set the tone for the day.

[@sarahwieland3243]

Omg, when u described ur past routine it was describing my life to the T! Your advice was huge! To say that what u had to say was life changing is an understatement! Thk u so so much for sharing how u changed ur routine and creating ur own successful routine! Brilliant!

[@jennhendrikson2189]

Waking up to yesterdays problems just gave me chills!!! This is my life. I’m a mama of one, my husband is active duty and we don’t have help the way my friends and family may because we live away from them. Finding your videos last month about 75 hard have changed my life and this one really sealed the deal ✨

[@triciabasil7802]

@jennhendrikson2189 - 75 hard? What’s that?

[@parkerdawn747]

When I started grad school, I started waking up 2 hours before my house to do work. I hated it the first couple weeks now. I love it.

[@JacquelineFierro939]

Preparing the night before definitely feels like a reward in the morning! It’s worth it 100%

[@extrememinimalism]

Side note: Love the 'excited to get out of bed' tip! For most people, that might be coffee. Especially when its cold.

[@LindseyHazel]

Your before evening routine is totally where I am at right now! I’m going to start my evening routine earlier so I don’t stay up SO late!! Thank you for this reminder! ♥️

[@penguin7964]

Your previous self is exactly who I am right now. I am trying every day to go to bed early but my child will not. It has been difficult but thank you for all of the advice! I have written it down in addition to buying your 6 month transformation. Here's to hope! 😅

[@FashionbyBrittany]

Thank you for this!!!! This is super super helpful! Would love an update on your daily routine!! Maybe also if yo have your kids do a morning routine?? I’m trying really hard to get them on one too

[@tarrynf726]

Thanks so much 💕 I had my protein shake this morning, vacuumed the house, made food for the week and it’s only 11am. Going to practice doing these things weekly. It’s already helping😊💜

[@ClaudiaGilmanMais]

I'm new here; as soon as I started listening to you I subscribed to receive all your notifications. I'm 59 and have been retired for over 3 years and even though our house is in order, I've had health issues that prevent me from cleaning the house start to finish, like I always did. I know exactly what I'm going to do each morning~ I'll be watching your previous videos because YOU are inspiring!!!! So thankful that I found your channel!

[@kirstenovitt1178]

Love that I found your channel!! I am very similar to you in a lot of ways. The old me and new me and very much like your old and new you! My natural tendencies are laziness and staying up too late. But I’ve been training myself in all the things you’ve been talking about. Very inspired by you especially seeing that I struggled with the same things you did!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Inspiration is a beautiful thing, and I think it’s more beautiful when it comes from someone that’s dear to your heart. You inspire me, sweet friend.

[@ashleyhuze]

🥹THANK YOU for always leaving the sweetest comments!! you have no idea how much they mean to me!!❤️❤️

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@ashleyhuze you're welcome, friend. That's just who I am. I'm kind to everyone unless you mess with my hubby, family, friends, and KZbinr's.

[@user-pw5oi9ow9w]

Thank you so much for sharing the changes you’ve made. It has given me the inspiration to make some changes in my life. You were definitely my cheerleader today. I love your channel. You and your husband are such strong people with a beautiful faith.

[@shyloweperez7038]

Been following your journey for like 10 years or so! 😯 thank you for the transparency!!!! NEEEDED THIS SO MUCH RN

[@alyssawilson9154]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this video in the last week but it’s been so inspiring. I am slowly implementing this in our daily routine and it has truly been life changing. I honestly feel so much happier. I can’t express my gratitude enough for your help! Thank you. Truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you! ❤

[@heatherludwig1463]

I watched your health journey videos last Sunday. You really did inspire me. I’ve used the Lose It app off and on but never upgraded to the macro plan. After listening to you, I did that yesterday. I started writing in my journal again too and used your plan tips. I’m really hoping this is a new start for me. I’m a new empty nester and this season of my life has been hard. My world revolved around being a mom, even though I have a full time job outside my home too. I’m going to make this time for me to get back to the health I have neglected for so long.

[@StepTwoCK-xo6lz]

I think this is a MUCH better approach than waking up to do ALL OF THE THINGS you don't want to do. As most content creators suggest. I am a natural early riser, but one of the motivating things about getting out of the bed for me, although I will naturally always rise early, is I get to reset my home, relax, plan, etc. before my kids awake. The mornings are my happy place and my grandmother always taught me that. I love the mornings and feel this is the most sacred time of the day.

[@lindseymeyer6845]

This was so helpful! I am 3 months postpartum with my 4th baby, and your description of your old self sounds exactly like where I’m at right now. I have been craving a good morning routine and some self transformation. Thank you for the encouragement and tips!

[@laurae1031]

This is so practical and helpful! And I love your honestly and genuineness; no looking down your nose at others who haven't "arrived." ❤

[@hopegoround]

Love this! I just found your channel and can totally relate. I also really love logging my macros/meals the night before. It almost feels like a game to make them all fit and it takes the decision making out of the next day. Can't wait to watch more of your videos :)

[@cb779]

Thank you Ashley!! You are amazing and such an inspiration 💞

[@christierollins7743]

I Love watching your videos. So inspiring listening to your advice and So very true. I love walking my 4 miles everyday except on Sunday. It does get my mindset for the day and makes me feel great about myself ❤️❤️

[@ASHLEEPEREZ6]

Thank you Ashley!! You are amazing and so inspiring!! I needed this so much!

[@Thaoneuluv2h8]

So I watched this yesterday then I lost the video I was searching n searching then figured out how to find videos I had watched and now I’m subscribed.. you said a lot that resonated with me && gave some good tips so for that thank you !!

[@miti203]

Loved this and it spoke to me in so many ways! Over the past year I have started a lot of these habits already but just need a few more tweaks to keep going. And by the way, your videos are the positive and inspiring videos I’m choosing to watch at 5 am 🤩🤩

[@kimposton2371]

Thank you for providing such inspiring videos!! I always look forward to them. This one really motivated me to make some changes.🥰

I love that you said that, lately I don't want to get up in the morning. Like I didn't find anything to look forward to so I was staying in bed as long as possible

[@thailidrodriguez3114]

Love it. I really love your advices. I shared this video with my daughter too. Thank you😊

[@charmaineowers5086]

Hi I’m so glad I found your channel your personality sounds a lot like mine what with being a night owl and things and lately I’ve been really down on myself and letting all my routines and health go and you have given me the kick to get going again and this time to keep going and rather than look for the perfect day to keep going and put the little things in place to help get to my future self thank you so much for your videos ❤ oh and waking up to pure chaos while staying up all night I can 100% relate I find when kids are in bed hubby is asleep and the dogs settled I tell myself it’s me time to and when I did stop doing this and getting up early I felt much better so your right it really works even if we naturally don’t want it to 😂

[@richelledenhartog5757]

Can your recommend some of the podcast or positive speakers you listen too please! I’m new to your channel but man you have quickly become my favorite ❤️

[@kimberlyromero7833]

Omg I needed this so much . Thank you!! ❤

[@Lolisvlogs]

I want to do all you do. I had a pretty good routine before. I broke my heel bone on my right foot on January 4. I could not walk for almost five months. So all this year it’s been hard to get back to routine. I am walking now but not at 100% yet. Thank you for your encouragement. So glad to see your videos.

[@kristijones6552]

You amaze me with each video and words. You inspire and lift me up. Thank you. Hugs from Oregon

[@bzeissel]

Thank you so much for this video!! Couldn't have come at a better time! I've been working out & going to bed earlier but totally one of those people that IS NOT a morning person. I hate it!! Even if I go to bed early I still want to sleep as late as I can! Working on that and trying to get up earlier to walk before work!

[@jigs4u2251]

LOVED this video! You have inspired me so much since I found your channel. I think about you every single morning when I am drinking my greens lol

[@kandyceballesteros5468]

Thank you for this video, it just motivated me even more! I just recently had my second baby 2 months ago, & knowing that I’m done having children, I’ve been dedicated to walking 3 miles for the past two weeks, every morning. & I feel so amazing. But I do need to incorporate a good nightly routine & go to sleep a little earlier. 😅

[@patriciahastings9035]

This was so good! So inspiring!!

[@kaitlinross4348]

Love this video! Unfortunately I will never wake up before my kids lol. They wake up at 4:30-5 every day. They go to bed at 6pm which is the trade off! Before they went to bed at 7:30-8 and still woke up at 4-5. That was terrible lol

[@merigoldmurphy9791]

Just found your channel! Love this video. I have 2 little boys, and life feels so chaotic!! Thanks for the tips!! What youtubers, podcasts, etc, would you recommend? Thanks :)

[@SHTM26]

Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring so many like me. I want to start tracking my food since thats my biggest hurtle. One question, What’s the app you use to track your food?

[@extrememinimalism]

Mum to 2, I gym and do therapy when kiddo is in nursey. When hes not at nursery, we go swimming or to the park, anyway to get physical activity for us both. I share homemade smoothies (3-4 portions of fruit/spinach) with my kiddo and totally replaced coffee with them. I sleep at 8-9 when he sleeps or take an hour to sort the house so I wake up with a clean slate. He has an egg with me when I have my scrambled eggs for breakfast so then we dont have to think twice either about the first snack. His breakfast is the same everyday. From 18mo, hes 'made it' himself, and hes in charge of putting the fruit and liquid in the blender. We dont buy excessive physical possessions (clothes, toys, books, decor etc) to avoid the healthier food. Our routine is always the same and therefore consistent and predictable and easier to achieve. I gave up social media so I could have time to make nutrutious meals. I shower most days of the week. Sometimes I will chill out and watch a film with sweets or chocolate or crisps. But its intentional, planned, rather than binge-normal. It all depends on what you value more. Whats most important, truly?

[@caitlin862]

I've always been a morning person. My husband is a night owl so I've been leaning that way as well and it wreaks havoc on all my plans lol

[@SP-ik8wm]

I ordered your template on week two! 🎉 What night light do you have on your nightstand?

[@juliaterranova8492]

I love all of this! but how do you do it with kiddos? Having them around makes me feel like its not possible. Especially with the listening to podcast/taking time for yourself in the morning.

[@furtional]

OMG I have just seen the first 2 minutes and I am going throguh the exACT SAME THING. Oddest of odds everytime i try to shake things up something happens, kid falls sick, I fall sick, work load doubles and I am like 'F it. I might as well give up.' and then I try again.

[@sheilachee6286]

I’m still a night owl at age 54 🥴. I’d like to change that. I feel exactly the way you said you use to feel. Ideally I would like to go to sleep by 9pm and wake up at 5am. (I’m watching this at 11pm 🤭)

[@lubin1nm]

All of these influencers are great, it is going to be hard no matter what. But they are stay at home moms, their husband's obviously make good money, most of their husband's are in good shape and aren't lazy or drinking, they have family close and a sitter. So it is so very different than most. One can do all of these things or just can't. So not realistic or completely helping most. Still good thing it works for you and you are happier with everything, that is what matters.
