MINIMAL MORNING ROUTINE | Hygge Habits + Intentional Living

My morning routine helps me incorporate simplicity and self-care into my daily life, even on those grey winter mornings when lit can be hard to get up. Today, I’m sharing the healthy + cozy habits I like to incorporate into my mornings to start off the day from a good place physically, mentally, and emotionally.

What does your morning routine look like right now? 🤍

[@DeandraStubbs]

Ive been waking up early just so my mornings can be more slow and enjoy time introducing my fur babies to eat other.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh that’s awesome! 🥰

[@justadudeintheworldman.120]

Wake up bout 615. Work start 630 Deal with work BS til 4p Dinner & whiskey & watch football or YT 5-9p Sleep 10p Wash rinse repeat

[@katherinemarshall5418]

I have 2 kids under 3 so unfortunately not like this. Trying to prioritise myself but very difficult when nights and mornings are unpredictable. Loved watching though x

[@mariaclaralopes1532]

Usually I wake up around 7 a.m, pray, read a little, stretch and meditate as long as I can and finally I go take a shower to really start my work.

[@Teriosity]

Thank you for not including the triggering sound of that alarm in the morning

[@AshlynneEaton]

Hahaha totally fair 😉

[@ivaroa]

I love that you said “heartspace” when talking about refreshing your self.

[@lauramathews3151]

Stealing this term for my own vernacular.

[@terezapavoukova3208]

Leave your bed breathe! Maybe even open a window and go have a breakfast or exercise and make your bed after... There is so much moisture in the matrace and sheets after night and it is so beneficial to let it all out...

[@IshaSharma11]

So soothing

[@sofianatalie.]

Aww that moment when you came in to say hi to Christopher was so sweet! Love the routine :)

[@AshlynneEaton]

Aww thank you so much Sofia! 🤍

[@sasismile6374]

I thought the same thing! So cute!

[@dreamchaser5758]

It was clear that was authentic. So endearing

[@trinaolson6072]

Thank you for sharing this! I'm about 3 months into my minimalism journey. I'm the CEO of a 20 person company that I co-founded with one of my best friends. It's so helpful to have near constant reminders that we each and truly craft the morning, schedule, and life that we want. I find for me I have to give myself permission over and over again to follow and pace and flow that work for me. And when I do - my day goes so much better. Thank you!

[@tammyf1541]

That little tree necklace is adorable 🌲

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh thank you!!

[@IshaSharma11]

So true

[@aw6707]

Just finished Hebrews this morning! Chapter 13 was so solid with reminders to serve others and remember the persecuted. Anyone else in Hebrews currently? And loved the video - so calming. ☺

[@stellaabigailverana6641]

I've also tried a very simple skin care. I just wash my face with cold water, pat dry, then moisturizer and it definitely made my skin clearer than before.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh that’s awesome! Crazy the difference it makes! 🥰

[@jackiem9460]

If I'm going to read a book then I need 8hrs free because once I start a can't stop lol

[@tamiv.476]

Same, 3 am endings have been known to happen

[@SC-si9]

I often take cues for making a routine from these videos. So happy to see you include your quiet time. It’s really encouraging to see you take a clear stance and be you. Also it encourages me to set aside that time and make it important!! Thanks for this content!! ♥️♥️

[@georginaCsweeting]

Watching your routines makes me feel sooo calm ☺️

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh I’m so glad to hear that Georgina!!

@@AshlynneEaton I’m in the Uk so winding down for bed with your morning routine (sounds odd to say 😂😂)

[@AshlynneEaton]

Haha no that sounds so lovely! 🤍

[@boomcousins697]

Yes you are right ☺️ they are soooo calming and motivating love you ashlynne i am 7 class and i love your videos❤️☺️

[@christinefindorff5328]

I love that you found a simple skincare routine that works for you! Only thing I would suggest is to make sure you include spf either in your moisturizer or a separate product! 💕💕

[@ellawhiting4696]

ABSOLUTELY in LOVE with this video!! So cozy and slow!

[@agnespalfi6162]

It's crazy how your videos never fail to entertain and de-stress me😌

[@rnk.travels]

2021, still I'm re-watching this video. This is so calming and simple. I love your videos! You inspire me.

[@AlviaLasiana]

Hello Ashlynne. I’m a new fan! I enjoy your minimalist channel and aesthetic videos like this is very good as a change sometimes, and I look forward for more videos like this. Stay safe and minimalist ❤️

[@vallantz5877]

So so inspiring! Absolutely love the simplicity of this routine...I'm getting there! Blessings!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh thank you so much! And good luck as you simplify 🤍

[@PilgrimKat]

I totally agree with you about making the bed first thing - I'm not naturally tidy so making my bed first thing in the morning helps me to start the day off right ☺️

[@paige9714]

Roots sweater even when you're in the States! Love it!! You give off such peaceful, kind vibes! 🥰💜

[@AshlynneEaton]

Yes!! Love my Roots sweater! And thank you! 🥰

[@mishelblumberg256]

Your videos are so calming and inspiring! I would love you to make a video about your eating habits and kitchen supplies as a minimalist. love you❤️

[@angelikabatwoman]

Such a nice routine and so cute with your husband! Also I think your eyebrows looked better before you filled them in, they looked so pretty 😊

[@ashlynnepadgett9142]

Omg I have NEVER seen another person with the same name spelling as me 😅

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh wow me neither! That’s SO cool! 🤍

Loving this content! Thank you so much 🥰

[@abigailwiddows]

Ashlynne: I just wash my face with some water and apply moisturizer *has flawless skin* Me: does 5 step skincare routine plus a facemask once a week and still gets occasional spots

[@jonkaaa91]

Sometimes less is more :) put yourself on minimal routine, give your skin time to catch a breath. That might help :)

[@abigailwiddows]

@@jonkaaa91 I know, I dont use that much but if I dont use my skincare routine I break out massively

[@UpasanaDevchoudhury]

Loved knowing more about your morning routine.I love following rituals and some of them that have really helped me take some time in the morning taking care of myself physically and emotionally.Thank you for reminding us to do that and am so excited now to include few more in my routine too :)

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh that’s awesome! 🤍

[@PickUpSoups]

I love how you keep yourself hydrated from the time you wake up 💛

I'm a recent subscriber and I love this! When you do your back stretches sitting down, rotate the same direction of the leg that is bent to get the most out of it! So if the left leg is bent, rotate to the left.

[@blossomsandbeards]

Great video! Good habits that I need to try.

[@amyhoover9]

I'm sure I've said this once already, but your daily routine videos always inspire me, Ashlynne! Admittedly, I am watching this at 12:15 am on a work night... at least I had the time to shower tonight as a way to mix up my nighttime routine 😄🙃❤

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh thank you Amy! 🤍 Totally get it isn’t possible for everyone though ✨

[@blueowl8928]

I have a lot of health issues and am badly struggling when it comes to establishing a consistent morning routine. Medication that makes me sleep too much, and waking up in so much pain every day that I can't get out of bed for close to an hour, are both not helping. I had to have surgery last week and had a stent removed yesterday. My work isn't too happy with me with all the issues I've had meeting production this year. Been feeling pretty depressed and like a failure today. I'm 25 but often feel like I'm 85. I've been watching a lot of your videos in the past week or so, and you really inspire me a lot. This video inspires me to work to reestablish a solid morning routine so I can take better care of myself and be more productive. Thanks for the great content, Ashlynne ❤

[@AshlynneEaton]

You’re welcome! I hope it’s helpful for you 🥰

[@simple_naildesigns]

You’re not alone! I have a similar journey. I have Chiari and Syringomyelia. I have health issues and after brain surgery and spine surgery - symptoms will remain. I also take medication that have me drowsy daily. But take deep breathes and know you’re not alone. Sending you big hugs. 💖

[@blueowl8928]

@@simple_naildesigns Oh, wow. I have a mild Chiari myself. What a coincidence. Thank you for your comment and I wish you good health. Stay safe ❤

[@dreambeeyoga4186]

Amazing video! ❤️

[@sakshidhawan1519]

I love this... I can easily incorporate all of these steps into my morning routine. And I love that you said “Indian Chai” 😁

[@sakshidhawan1519]

I just want to say that this video has changed my mornings. Before watching this, I hated getting up and delayed it until I absolutely had to. But after I watched it, I got so many ideas about what I could do with the extra time in the morning before starting work. It helped me get excited about waking up on time. So Thank you so much!!! 💜

[@ansifaayisha775]

You are the most aesthetic person in the world ❤️

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh you are SO sweet 🥰

[@anniedube]

Curious what camera setup you use! Your cinematic vids are EVERYTHING!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh my gosh thank you SO MUCH! I use a Canon 6D Mark II but the real secret is the 24-70 f.28 lens I use 🥰

[@emastroud4536]

I have never thought about using a french Press for tea. That is a good idea.

[@julysaflorrubite631]

[@kasey8240]

I so enjoyed this video. I have two little girls, so I try and get in some time to myself before they wake up. I'm hoping to read through the Bible next year so thank you for the app recommendation.

Thank you for sharing your hygge routine. I never thought about making my tea in the french press and I just discovered that oat milk will foam. Going to have to check out the frother you use though - I’m still doing it manually. Haven’t been making tea lattes either, but love this idea. Anyway, loved watching this, it’s so well done!

[@drudellauk]

Really enjoyed your morning routine, very good tips there. Just an FYI. If you leave your phone charger plugged it stills wasting energy and slowly but surely taking a toll on the planet. Unplug your chargers whenever you're not using them. For the planet! 🌏💕

[@simple_naildesigns]

Stretching always feels good before getting out of bed. 🥰

[@brifren2]

What a lovely routine, seems perfect! So healthy and inspiring.If I may, it's a great idea to open the windows for 10 or 15 minutes in the bedroom after you get up, while you do other things, then make the bed. This allows the sheets to 'breathe' and be refreshed. But maybe you already do this and it just didn't show in the video. :)

[@cassiebriner]

I have a 2yr old and I'm a SAHM so my day starts when he decides it does. He usually wakes up on the wrong side of the crib so my day starts with stress and a whiney toddler. I just keep telling myself it won't be like this forever and that helps keep me going. Your morning looks so relaxing.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Having kids definitely changes the way mornings look. 🤍
