start the day with me
#morningroutine #winthemorning #selfcare #morninghabits
Ahhh morning routines. A controversial topic. You either love em or you hate em. Waking up is hard. But having a morning routine that excites you and gets you ready for the day can make it soo much easier!
~ Welcome to my good morning routine !
If you've seen my 2021 goals video ( • 2021: my top 6 goals , you know PERFECTING the morning routine is one of my top goals for the year. I have been (more or less) doing this routine for the past couple months constantly, and I think these are (hopefully) unintimidating self care practices.
The purpose of morning routines:
to create positive, focused & calm vibes
to be mindful & consistent
meant to maximize time
set the tone for the day
start with early wins
You should ask yourself at the end of your morning routine if you feel energized. If you feel stressed, take something out. Do you feel lacking? Add something in.
#winthemorning #wintheday
disclaimer:
I try to wake up 90 mins before I have to go to practice.
That being said, I care less about the wake up time than the number of hours slept. If I didn’t get a good sleep, I’ll keep sleeping.
Also, don’t feel pressure to compete with other people's standards. Be flexible and know when to pivot to make things as simple as possible for you!
This was so much fun to film and EDIT (also so time-consuming) so please tell me if you like this style of editing!
simple morning smoothie:
big handfuls of frozen greens & berry mix (add frozen avocado or banana. makes it creamy)

Mine is so much simpler. Pre AVP Hermosa Tournament Friday. 1. Pick a pair of sunglasses, quick bowl of cereal and hop into the truck. 2. Stop at the Coffee Bean for my coffee, grab a parking spot, bicycle down to the beach. 3. Set up my chair up between Court 1 & 2. 4. Watch the games from 900 to 500 (lunch in between). 5. Tower 12 for spirits. 6. Repeat on Saturday. Volleyball 🏐!

[@melissahumana-paredes1384]

Love that!! haha

Hi i saw that you are using that collagen supplement. How long have you been taking it for ? Do you feel the difference from this collagen suppliment compared to other, if you've used other products ? Im trying to find ways to keep my joints as healthy as possible and the only thing that.i would trust to help me is bone broath soup. Very nutritious and supposedly it revives your ligaments. But im not the best cook. Anyways hope to hear from you. You are quick on the sand!

[@melissahumana-paredes1384]

I've been using it on and off for about a year now! I do feel a huge difference, and I see it in my hair, skin and nails!!
