Morning rituals. Morning routines. “The 5am Club”. How we start our mornings is a determinant for our entire life, according to every social media influencer & coach who just happens to know what’s best for you. Yet it seems that morning rituals require more energy than they give back. Wake up at 5am, take a cold plunge into an ice bath, tap your face, meditate, breath work, yoga, journaling, organic, fair trade green tea & a vegan raw breakfast.
Well, fuck me.
Today, I am grateful for the reminders of what a “morning ritual” is truly about… gratitude that I have once again awakened to a new day. & that day doesn’t have to be grand, it doesn’t have to have declarations of accomplishments through a to do list, it doesn’t have to take up too much time or energy; it is about reclaiming the joy of the simple things… feeling loved & cherished, surrounded by the purest love & bliss & protection. Practicing my faith in the every day smallest of ways. Gladness for what is & isn’t. Showing up authentically in all aspects of Being.
The only morning ritual that genuinely transforms my day is giving myself a kind start.
What are some of the ways you choose to show kindness to yourself to start a new day?
