My Morning Routine - 2019

[@tamaraward4234]

I would love to know more detail about your workouts and what you typically eat in a day.

[@JamieLeffNutrition]

She spelled out exactly what she eats on the Start Today Morning show last Tuesday I think!

[@klarearmstrong6135]

Love a morning routine...”get ready with me”....would love workouts...meals...self care

[@chelseapercy4144]

Oh for SURE an evening routine. I would LOVE to know your tools and strategies for having a productive evening, connecting with fam, meals, and prep for the following day. I am just toast by the end of the day and feel like I waste some precious hours that I could be putting to good use.

[@lindseyheringer2641]

Would love to see your typical workout routine for a week.

[@whitneymarie9237]

Rachel, I absolutely loved your video today. I'm a therapist and I specialize in working with kids/teens and attachment. I just wanted to say thank you for showing ways of waking up your kids and loving on them first thing in the morning. Waking them up with encouragement and even encouraging Noah through her accident, those moments are so small but so valuable. You go girl. Thank you for your inspiration and vulnerability!

[@julieolivere1939]

I would love to know more on how you map out your morning! This was so extremely helpful!! Thank you for all the amazing resources you give!!!

[@ashleymccracken5523]

Love this video! I would like more detail on planning your day. I’m tired of using ADHD as an excuse for being off schedule often. I’m ready to start being active in fixing that and using it to my advantage. Thanks for all you do!!!

[@gorgeous2845]

Thanks Rach, all your content has dramatically changed my life, the way I think and how I feel about myself. Thank you thank you❤❤❤

[@tamara640]

Night time routine! Because if you are getting up that early....when are you going to bed?!?!?

[@kelliyeowell5691]

What I suggest to clients is think about what you do the hour before you turn off the lights. I encourage you to put your phone on the charger and do these few things: Pack lunch(es), put our your clothes (work or workout), lay out your journal, candle, coffee, water, etc. (whatever you want to spend time with/on), check your calendar to see what you having going on the next day so you are prepared :) You then have much less decisions to make the next day, as our brains only have a certain capacity to make sound decisions, so this prep takes that out of the equation

[@maryalicesalzer9224]

Yeeess!! Would love to know more about your night time routine!! And when do u have intimate time with your husband?? Sorry for getting a little too personal here but I'm sooo tired after I put the baby to bed at 8 and I want to wind down and get ready for bed quick so I can be asleep by 9 so I can get up early before the baby gets up to have my me time! I just don't know where to squeeze in time for my husband! Also, do your kids have the same bed time and wake up time on weekends/breaks from school? If so, what does their morning routine look like when they're not in school but still waking up early?

[@ferdinandries7232]

Kelli Yeowell great advice but it doesn't answer the question of what time she goes to bed.

[@bmg8528]

Please do an evening routine for all of us! 💕😍 love watching you and your beautiful family Rach! Keep up the great work! You inspire me daily and have done so much for me in just ONE year. I thank you!! xoxo ♥️

[@Heatherbelle403]

Yes I want to know all the things!!! Your workout routine! (Cardio and weights) And Dave’s morning routine

[@jillgarcia7335]

Loved this! Especially the commitment to the morning workout and the belief/comment that it’s “my hours” ...I love getting up early for my journal, Bible & God time, to see the sunrise and then go for a hike 🙂 and get the day rolling along

[@carmenrobles93]

You absolutely inspire and motivate me to come out this rock ive been trapped under. Knowing how hard life can be and to see how hard you strive to show others THEY CAN DO IT TOO! IS AMAZING, THANK YOU❤GOD BLESS

[@peggydelozier8636]

aww glad your kids have these memories to watch

[@tudieber]

Thank you for this! I Would love to see Dave’s morning routine too! I would also love to see more vids on workout routines, meal prepping vids, etc.

[@TheronPatrick]

Thanks, Rachel! Can't stress enough the importance of a morning routine people! It's a great way to start your day off intentionally. You all rock!

[@rominabojaxhi]

I have a morning routine because of you and i love my morning routine!! Then my start today journal

[@marisolpadilla4726]

¡Me encanta tu español, Rachel! BRAVO y Adelante . Sí, SE PUEDE. You got this!

[@hli1787]

Morning, Sister! We don’t get a lot of Sawyer and he is such a DOLL! Ford sneaking into his bed made my day. Nothing like kiddos ❤️❤️❤️

[@gabriellarezex]

I’d love to see more BTS of how you approach writing your motivational posts in the morning for content purposes! Does it just flow, is it more structured, a combo - etc. LOVED this video and the editing style too!!!

[@kenseyc1180]

I would love something like “spend a day with me” where we see the rest of your days! 💓💓💓

[@emiley_g8734]

I love that you designed your own hat!!

[@jenniferdusablon5722]

Would love to see what you eat in a day!

[@JamieLeffNutrition]

I would love to know more about how you plan your day!!!! And what's your evening routine!!!!!??? I can't imagine how you manage to get into bed by 8:30 with 4 kids.

[@leonacoburn5852]

They have a nanny.

[@angiep7836]

They have a nanny and they have a baby-sitter for date nights! Rachel has said multiple times that women feel like they have to do everything but there's nothing wrong with asking for help when you need it to juggle what you need to and show up for your family if you're blessed to do so.

[@nasibe]

I have a nanny too but my 4 kids ask for me and they want me all the time, they want me to read them a book or put them to bed... it is hard

[@kelliyeowell5691]

See note to Tamara K :)

[@araceligiacoman]

Awe you have beautiful kids! You are a great mom!! Reminds me of my days 👍

[@anapinto122]

Loved this! Thank you for sharing Rachel! I don’t have any children but when I see moms like you it motivates me! It’s so inspiring to see all that you do and both of your motivational books truly inspired me. Also, as a Latina fan of yours I have to say me encanto que estas practicando español! Te escuchas muy bien! Can’t wait until your fluent and start making videos in Spanish so I can share them with my cousins in Mexico!

[@wecherishdmoment]

So stoked you posted this, today I woke up not in the morning mood to just do nothing, blah. But tomorrow morning I’ll be ready to conquer my brain and get up!! 😊🙌🏼

[@maggieharrell4404]

Love to know more about what you eat and workout routine! Thanks for sharing your life with us!!

[@BethRichLife]

I like it. Thanks for explaining the basics of the routine at the end. I am trying to get to the place where I can wake before the kids. Every time I sleep in instead of getting up I regret it. My entire day is a mess and I get nothing done. I see more and more moms suggesting to get up before the kids and it makes sense. That is one of those things you wish someone told you when you first had kids or before the baby arrived.

[@allisonb.8492]

AWESOME video! Your little girl is soooooooooo precious!! So are your boys!! Sweet babies :) You are such an inspiration!

[@johannaromero1017]

How about a night routine? I have been getting up 4:30 to 5AM to do the things I want to do for myself. Still I feel I need more time 🤷🏻‍♀️ Your kids are adorable ❤️

[@wendyalbrecht3375]

🦌🦌🦌!OMG!!Wow!! Anyway, you go girl!! Go Ms. Rachel!! Go Hollis Family!!!!!! Nice Steering!! Thanks for ‘showing’ your morning routine❤️☺️. I’m a children’s book author-illustrator-so visuals are an amazing tool for me. Have an Fantastic Day!! Love to ya!!🥰❤️👍🏻

[@TheMelanieGrace]

DUDE!! I wish this was my morning routine. I get up at 5am, shower and then the kids wake up at 5:30, then I leave for work at 6:30am to start work at 7am.. I wish I could get them to sleep in or if I could start work later, I NEED my own calm private time, because I'm TOO dang tired after work when the kids are finally asleep. Here's to hoping!

[@melissasaylor2250]

Can’t wait for the app to be released to see more about workouts and training plans ♥️

[@pinkladybug56]

Your morning routine needs to be mine. I’m working on it, slowly but surely. I hate getting up early that’s my biggest problem. I’m a work in progress. Progress not perfection. Thank you so much for sharing! This video will be goals for me❤️💗💜

[@flashpackingbelle4993]

Thank you for sharing this awesome video - I loved it a lot! Just completed my morning routine while on holiday in India and feel so good! There were so many reasons I was making not to go walking in a foreign place where I stand out so much. But this morning I got up at 5.30, walked for 40 minutes, saw the sunrise, wrote in my journal, gratitude and goal setting, coffee and breakfast all before 8am. THIS is how I want to feel every day. Thank you @mrsrachelhollis - you’re an incredible inspiration and I’m grateful for your influence into my life

[@ArdelleVision]

I love that you work in studying spanish into your morning routine. I want to learn spanish as well!

[@mayabrewer9942]

Very helpful. I have such a bad habit of waking up last minute with my kids and rushing to school. I JUST NEED TO GET MY ASS UP.

[@sanaagaskar3306]

Amazing video, great idea to actually record in the early hours, as opposed to other channels who mostly sit and talk talk talk. Great to see what it looks like in action.

[@andreamiranda8038]

Hearing you speak Spanish put a big smile on my face. Your pronunciation is amazing! Love that you're learning new languages

[@courtneydejong4286]

I'd love to see more of how you lay out your morning routine and how you came up with what to do :)

[@dawnschneider7140]

Oh I love this and all your content! Your posts inspire me daily to be a better version of the person I was the day before!

[@julianne50]

I would like to know if you do a different workout every day. What is your workout routine like?

[@kelliyeowell5691]

Okay, one more comment :) After having done this for 30+ years (corporate life, business be , four kids, now semi-retired), here is what I encourage my clients to think about. Instead of start LARGE, my motto is 'Start small, be consistent, stay faithful.' We always want to do so much when we begin a 'habit.' it's truly about consistency. It is more powerful to be consistent for a minute, than to be sporadic for 30 min.

[@silviadamico4359]

I LOVED this video! So nice to actually see what you so often talk about!

[@sharonalicea7998]

Loved this! I do need to change my morning routine. I really think that it will help me be present at all my activities (job, biz, family) eliminating the guilt feelings towards myself and others for “not having time for myself”. I must make the time for my self care

[@HealthyVeganMama]

I want to wake up early, but here is my hesitation...I have to go to bed early. When do I hang out with my husband? When we put our kids to bed around 8, we have two/three hours with each other...that's our time. So of course, we go to bed late around 10/11 and the thought of waking up earlier than 6:30 (when we get my oldest up for school) sounds crazy because I went to bed so late. Just figuring out a good time for my husband and I, besides after the kids go to be, seems key for me. I'd love advice on that.

[@annarusso7278]

Tia Costello yessss my exact struggle too!

[@leonacoburn5852]

Mine too. Hubby works 11:30 am -8pm with overtime to 11 or midnight some nights. I work 9-5 as an activities assistant or 2-10 as a CNA.

[@terellagin]

Why almond butter and jam for 1st meal? And why do you use a paper plate? Love this vid. Would like to know more about how you structure your goals and to dos for the week.

[@shelbynix9592]

The part with the boys waking up killed me! So adorable.

[@danabrester2992]

Would love to know your work out routines and how you organize your week to incorporate the whole body. I'm just starting to do all these things., keto , exercise, stuff for me and going to start getting up at 5. You are such an inspiration thank you . Home gym like that is a goal.

[@ericajohns4850]

Great video Rachel! Thank you for always being honest and sharing to help all of us! I would love to know more about how you map out your day! It is so helpful to see how someone else does it especially when you feel so overwhelmed sometimes! I have been loving these videos and I hope they continue!

[@laceymckinney8089]

I needed this today. Encouraging and your video brought me joy! thank you

[@roothiecakes]

How you lay out your day ahead of time would be an awesome video!

[@noliepolie7918]

Thank you for making these videos and reminding moms that we can make time for ourselves! I have a little one and I’m in college and work. I find it hard to make time for myself, but I want to start my days earlier so I can have that me time... I’ve seen other morning routines that do not include children, so this video was more relatable to me, and I’m sure so many other people. THANKS!

[@mommafoxx341]

Yes! would love to see workout and meals !

[@susanaromero4624]

I love this! You are such a great role model. I am a new mom & reading your books/listening to your podcasts has guided me in the right direction. Thank youuuu!

[@100booksayear6]

Hi Rachel, I read your book in January and I love it! It helped me change my outlook and finally got the courage to show my face in my BookTube. No more hiding behind PowerPoint & stock videos :) Thank you so much. XOXO from Vietnam.

[@chatneythibodeau4477]

Would LOVE a house tour!! 💛💛

[@mindsetwithmary]

Thanks. Rachel. You're such an inspiration in my life. I recently posted a picture of you holding your book on my vision board! Yes, I'm writing a book! AND YES.... you're one of my biggest inspirations. Again, thank you!

[@lindamonroe2145]

I created a morning routine that FINALLY works for me! It's a mix of what you and other professionals have shared. Thank you for sharing!! By the way, I NEED that mug!!

[@wellinmyshoes]

Love it. Do an evening routine now! 😆

[@abbyzimmerman4845]

I wake up at 4 and it was SUCH an adjustment at first but it is isn't awful as long as I try to get into bed about 8 pm! i find i am most productive during that time

[@brandiealeman9377]

I’d like to see your workout routine!

[@ourinstantfamily2020]

This was my favorite video so far! Real life!!

[@larasmith490]

🦋adding cinnamon to your coffee helps keep your teeth white

[@jessgeniuk7657]

I would love to know what your home workouts look like. How do you plan on exactly what you’re going to do in your workout? How long do you workout for? How many hours does it take you to do your morning routine before the kids wake up? How come you drink coffee and also a pre workout? Also would like to know what you eat in a day. Can you also make more videos on how your and Dave’s marriage works? Like marriage advice and what not? Thanks Rachel!!! I love you and literally have a “What would Rachel Hollis do” quote on my vision board! 😂

[@hillaryaynryan]

I love that you study language in the morning! I've been wanting to learn French and will get the easy French reader- never heard of that one before- thanks!

[@nikkolefogg5552]

Would love to see more live footage of day-to-day work-life! I loved the episode of 'Working with your partner' and footage of real-time work decisions. Also, link to your pre-workout, please :)

[@heatherstreasurehunt]

Definitely would love a workout routine video!

[@ericotto314]

“If it’s not challenging you, it’s not changing you” 🔥

[@carlyhampton]

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER 🙌😁 I def want to know more about your workouts, what are some of your favourite non-fiction books you read during 2019, your skincare routine and how you incorporate 5 to thrive everyday 💪😍

[@delarambalalaiy8603]

Rachel,I lovvvve you and your helpful books♡♡♡♡

[@marinakitrell3660]

I have changed my morning routine since I become a coach. I love my mornings so much more.

[@nasibe]

Hey best girl, you did great Thank you for your time and sharing your morning routine. Please do post more another day like winter or continue video until the morning show... you are the best best Rachel❤💖❤

[@aliciatrombly6935]

Watched this while doing my skin care routine tonight. Gonna have to include watching your videos every night while doing my face washing ❤

[@christineseville9666]

Omg your gym is awesome!!!!! I would like to see a workout video

[@foundmyloves3670]

Yes!! More about planning day and also workouts please!

[@Lisallamaa]

I want SO BADLY to be like you about waking up. Ive been up at 6 for the last 90 days challenge and I've been sooooo tired every day. I wake up and lie there for 15 minutes thinking of all the reasons/excuses why I shouldn't get out of bed, but then I do. I feel like Ive been obsessed with sleeping as long as I can remember, I love sleeping more than any other activity haha. I wish I could change my brain to wake up and be like, "yep that was enough lets GO!" And not feel like a cranky zombie

[@KelsVaughne]

def would love to see a plan with me! or a how i plan my day etc

[@ironbeauty8366]

Loved this video! I would like to see more of your routine with the kids... like what do they do while your getting ready etc. I have tried waking my 6 year old up then going to get ready, and by the time I am out she is back to sleep.

[@cc6415]

I loved this Rachel! I’d love to know what your workout routines look like. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@TheFamilyGiggles]

This is a great peek into how you LITERALLY work your mornings. I’m slowly becoming a “morning person”. Thank you (and your kids!) for graciously sharing this with us. I’d love to know how you decide the priorities for laying out your day (the post-it note). Does it change weekly or do you change it when you feel like you need to? Changing too frequently might disrupt consistency....?

[@skybluemini]

This was great, thanks for sharing! ^^ Can we get a similar one about your evening routine?

[@ericadgueho_mama_art954]

Awesome thanks for sharing! You are the big sister I never had or even knew I needed ❤️😊

[@wendyalbrecht3375]

This is such a sweet comment🥰

[@leonacoburn5852]

Little, smart sister for me!

[@JaytoVee]

I’ve heard her refer to herself as “your big sister Rach” so it works! ❤️❤️

[@sophia_megan]

This was great. I would LOVE to see what a typical work out routine looks like for you. Also that is so precious that the boys woke up together

[@briannacrowder3531]

This was great! Really inspired me to finally set up a morning routine to help make me productive, proactive, motivated, and positive! 🙌

[@nanc6987]

You're son's facial expression when the deer ran in front of your car was far too funny! Had a GREAT laugh to start my day! LMAO!

[@DCStarz1000]

Awesome, thanks for sharing! And yes, deer do seem to have a 'deathwish' around here, too! How do you lay out your plan for the day?

[@lexarmstrong7810]

I'd love to know more about that "you time" when you read and work on your Spanish! I'm trying to devise a new morning routine for 2020, and as a writer trying to find that sweet spot for creativity time. It used to be at the end of the day, but I notice how burnt out I am and just going through the motions. You've inspired me to take a hard look at my morning routine and plan it so it benefits my goals!! Much love!

[@courtneyfaithbryant8045]

You seem so patient and loving with your children!!!! 😍😍🥰

[@michellethong8476]

You got the Peloton bike! Congrats! I just listened to your podcast with Robin Arzon yesterday and you mentioned that being on your list of things to get. :D

[@themami0504]

As sad as I am to hear about the divorce I wish you both the absolute best in this next chapter! You both are amazing parents and may God continue to bless you both!❤

[@Jottol1]

Ok how do you decide your workout routine? Also when do you fit in your bible study/quiet time?

[@elizabethhamilton3005]

I LOVE your gym!!

[@irisbrown6222]

Please do more of these! Also night routine!!! Love love love!!!!

[@Bubbleboxlab_ca]

[@JesusTheRealSuperman]

Your learning Spanish! That’s awesome! 👏 😎 genial! Sige así💪❤️😊🌅👊✌️

[@itsmegabee424]

Hi Rachel I’m a new follower of you. And your words, your story, your content has completely changed my way of looking at life and how to show up for others in the best way possible means showing up for your self first. I was one of those many woman who thought that if I did some thing for myself, meant I was being selfish. I have changed that way of thinking thx to you. I have kids , husband, and I want to to be exceptional in these roles as mom and wife. But I also want to be a better more exceptional version of myself. So thank you. 🙏🏼 please show us what your eating every day. What you occasionally indulge in 5 % of the time and lastly what is your work out 🏋️‍♀️ routine. I know typically people change what muscle group they will work out each day. So I was curious how you alternate your days. And what cardio do you like to do.? Thank you 🙏🏼 sorry this was a long comment.
