Live Your Personal Best - Workout Motivation and Routine Building For Current and Former Athletes

43. The One Thing You're Messing Up in Your Morning Routine

Listen Later

We all love the snooze button, don’t we? Those extra 10 minutes feels like heaven, if only they could last a little longer... But what’s a few minutes compared to the rest of your day? Because the truth is, that morning hour can either make or break the rest of your day. Sacrificing a few morning minutes will make you feel better the whole day than giving in to instant gratification. 

 

In this episode of Girls Gone Healthy, I talk about setting up a successful morning routine- and not the ten-step one you dread. Listen in to learn the benefits of having a productive morning routine.  

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • The importance of following through with a morning routine to set up the rest of your day. 
    • Stop sabotaging your day and instead learn to push yourself in the morning to feel better for longer than satisfying instant gratification.  
    • Boost your productivity by convincing yourself to get up when you initially said you would and give yourself time.  
    • How to create your own morning schedule that doesn’t necessarily mean waking up at six or having a ten-step morning routine.  

      • Episode Timeline: 

      • [2:11] Two morning scenarios that can either set or destroy the rest of your day. 
        • [8:57] Have a plan before going to bed so you don’t have the time to talk yourself out of it in the morning. 
        • [13:43] How to find your own schedule even when you’re not a morning person.   

          • Quotes: 

          • “How are you spending that first hour of your day, because that can be a lot of wasted time.” [8:23] 
          • “Don’t give yourself so much time to think and talk yourself out.” [9:22]
