As with almost everything in life, routines will change as your seasons of life change. As a teacher, I have a different morning routine during the school year than I do during the summer. As a working mom, my weekend morning routine is also different than my week day morning routing.
My favorite thing about my morning routine is that I don't have to use any energy deciding what to do when I wake up. That has already been figured out. I can use my mornings to slowly wake up and save my energy for more important work - raising my kids, being a great wife, and supporting my co-workers and students at school.
With out further ado, here is my current week day morning routine.
- Wake up between 4:45 am and 5:00 am.
- Get ready for work - I brush my teeth, do my skin care, hair, and end with putting on my make-up.
- Grab a cup a warm coffee
- Read my daily devotional - I am currently reading through the The Message: Solo: An Uncommon Devotional
- Write in my prayer journal - Watch for a future post on what I include in this.
- Write in my Flecks of Gold journal - This is a three year journal where I record something that happened the day before (an event, funny thing my kids said, struggle I worked through, etc.)
- Wake up the girls
- Make all the beds
- Get the girls breakfast
- Pack backpacks and lunches (including my own)
- Say my good-byes and head out the door around 6:45 am.
I hope that this inspires you to create a fantastic morning routine. If you already have one, what do you include in your morning routine?
