Simple and Soul Nourishing Morning Routine ☀️

Hi Everyone! Today I have an updated morning routine for you. While we can follow all of the advice on how to have a healthy and productive morning routine, I think it's important to create a routine that is a perfect fit for us and our unique lifestyles. I decided to pack my routine with things I love, with many simple joys. I hope you enjoy it!

What's ONE thing you do for yourself in your morning routine?

[@michelleip75]

For my morning routine, I LOVE opening my front door to let in some fresh air. That sensation of unfiltered, pure air entering the body's system is invaluable! A deep breath becomes a moment of clarity when we bring our awareness to it. 💖

[@katherinelord821]

I'm so sorry that this is off topic. But I'm a graphic designer and simply loved that font on your thumbnail. Do you happen to know what font it is? Thanks! And one thing I do for myself in the mornings is take time to make iced coffee. Creamers and syrups are something I want to switch to make my own of but for now it feels nice to splurge a bit

[@hendhashem]

Forcing myself to eat healthy meal for breakfast to get rid of anemia

I indulge in some liquid tranquility - my morning coffee. 😆☀️

[@jasminesmith913]

[@MyBestLife1]

A lot of ppl have the misconception that morning routines have to be rigid and exactly the same every day. I’m glad you emphasized that your routine changes and is based on whatever you need that morning. I find that my ☀️ *Rising Ritual* ☀️ as I call it, serves me best when I tune in and honor what my mind, body, and spirit need at the time.

[@MalamaLife]

Rising ritual 😍 I love that!!!

"It wasn't the falling leaves that she had been tidying up. It was her own laziness that she had been sweeping away". I really needed to hear this, and this particular wording was so helpful. I'm so happy that you decided to share this lesson with us.

[@NathalieLazo]

This message is for someone who needs to hear this and will fully understand it... You are not define by your circumstance or your past. It’s not what happened to you that determines your success in life; it is how you deal with those circumstances that determines your success in life. You are strong, you are capable and practice forgiveness (Forgiveness is for you; forgive your parents or anyone whom we have chosen to hurt us, to begin the process of healing and freedom. Remember: Forgiveness is for you to be freed, healed and happy. It’s a RESET BUTTON) and practice gratitude everyday. This will change the course of your life forever. Love you always and I believe in you wholeheartedly no matter what ✨❤️ - Nat

Oh I wish I had such mornings. My day starts very early, still tired, get everything ready and dropping off my child at day care and showing up at work by 8am. Not soul nourishing at all.

[@michelleip75]

As someone who is delving more into mindfulness, intuition and some tenants of Buddhism, this channel is everything! Thank you for all of your insight on elevating our best selves. It's so surreal to process everyday life in the course of the pandemic. You help us feel far less alone and much more calm. Many blessings! 💕💫

Almost anytime I watch your videos, I cry, or at least get teary eyed. Not from sadness, but you have this essence & energy that is so calming and makes me feel so appreciative to be alive. Even this morning routine video got me, just crying away at you running on the beach with your puppers! I truly love your content ❤️ thank you for all the happy tears!

[@MalamaLife]

This morning routine looks so calming and peaceful. With a toddler and baby, my mornings are typically fast paced, noisy, and sometimes chaotic 😩 If I get time to shower, it’s a good day!

I have 9 children, 5 still at home and I keep my two year old granddaughter, as well. I rise early if my body is able and I don’t fall back in until 9:30 or 10 once all the running of teens ends each night. We each have a life all our own. Whatever your life gives you each day…..etch out a little time for you.❤️

Sophie, I can;t thank you enough for a view that was filled with nature, seeing the ocean and hearing the waves gently crash on shore. The simple and beautiful inside of your house. It looks so peaceful. It was a nice break from the very heart wrenching news of what's going on in Ukraine right now where half of my family is. For those eight minutes of watching your video, I forgot about that. Thank you.

[@MalamaLife]

I'm so sorry to hear about your family in Ukraine. It's devastating and my heart is so heavy when I watch the news. Sending you big hugs and much love. I'm here helplessly wishing for the best.

I love winding down to your videos. I suffer from chronic mental and physical conditions. Sometimes I just need someone to tell me to be in the moment, to take a step back and relax, and your videos are a great reminder for those times. Thank you so much for that ❤️❤️.

Everyday when I wake up, I just go with the flow. I'm a homemaker with no kids. My husband leaves really early for work. I sleep in later. I get up with my furry baby and we head to the kitchen. I always put my kitchen to bed at night so it's nice having a space clean and ready for the day. I make coffee, let in some sunshine and relax for a bit. Then chores, errands, walks outside, baking and whatever else I have that day. I'm extremely grateful for my home and community. 😊🌴🌵
