Today, let's view our morning with the playful creativity of our three-year-old and the graceful focus of our 108-year-old.

Striving to improve our Morning Routine is only helpful until it isn't. If we dare let self-criticism get the best of us in amidst the inevitable resistance we'll face ... well, perhaps it's time to ease up a bit and remember that tomorrow is a new day to try it again.
Every morning is a chance to observe and be creative with the details we use to fill our day in with. As we apply one layer at a time, we notice what feels good and learn to stack healthy habits just as we would stack layers of color on a canvas. Part of this work of art is our process of creating an intentional and inspiring flow throughout the day. One perfectly imperfect stroke at a time.
📿 MANTRA
"I create my habits.
My habits create me."
As you repeat today's mantra, notice what thoughts come to surface. Allowing each thought to pass by as you get more and more clarity into how you want to create the morning habits that ultimately end up creating you.
💪 HEALTHY HABIT
Our first action upon waking forms the beginning of a habit stack: a series of linked actions.
Much like a Jenga stack, habit stacks are only as sturdy as their foundational blocks.
🎨 CREATIVE EXERCISE
Let's create a visual representation of our morning routine habit stack.
1. Find yourself an empty canvas of your choosing.
2. Honor the empty canvas for what it is, an opportunity for anything.
3. With ease and gratitude, begin to add to the canvas as you would add things to your ideal morning.
No rush. Just one small thing at a time. Plenty of time to try new things. Continue playing on your morning routine canvas for as long as you'd like!
