2020 Spring Morning Routine

March 7, 2020

New season, and new-ish morning routine.

Every season I like to update my morning routine to fit the changes in life. So many factors go into having and guaranteeing a good day, that it’s important your morning routine adjusts with those seasonal changes and changes in life.

Wake Up With A Positive Attitude

I try my best to wake up with a positive attitude by setting a pleasant tone as my alarm. I also put a positive affirmation as my label for my alarm. This way two of my senses are getting positivity first thing in the morning.

Makeup My Bed

I believe making your bed will give you that one less reason to get back into it. I know when I make my bed in the morning, I feel just a little more put together and more awake.  My room looks more organized and pretty which makes me less likely to mess it up during the day. I’m more motivated to put things where they belong, and by things I mean my clothes, when my bed is made up.

Freshen Up

I noticed that when I freshen up before doing my devotion, I am more alert and focused. Washing my face, and brushing my teeth can really give me the boost of energy I need to get my day started. It’s something how a little splash of water can living you up. 

I had to switch up my facial soap recently to clear up some dark acne spots. I went back to using my tried and true Neutrogena Acne Cleansing Bar. I use the Clarisonic Mia brush to apply the soap to my face and stimulate my blood cells in the process.

I always get compliments on my teeth and asked if I bleach them. I find that using an electric toothbrush with a spin head helps with the appearance of your teeth a lot. I also use the Crest 3D White toothpaste which helps my teeth with their white appearance.

Morning Devotion

For my morning devotion, I follow whichever one of my seasonal Bible Reading Plans I am currently on. I am just about to finish up my Winter Bible Reading Plan that I created to help my readers to be encouraged, hopeful, and filled with intent. 

My Bible Reading Plans are great resources to use to study God’s Word without feeling overwhelmed. It’s great for new believers to get familiar and comfortable with reading the Bible, and for more seasoned Christians to set aside time with God.

After reading my daily scriptures, I go to my “Keep Calm and Pray” board on Pinterest for my morning prayers. I have pinned prayers to recite daily that are perfect for what I’m going through in life. I found Pinterest to be a great search engine to find prayers for needs you didn’t even realize you have or prayers said in ways you would not have said yourself.

Make sure you head over and follow me on Pinterest.

Shower & Dress

For days that I did not take my shower the night before, this is when I would shower. If I did shower the night before, I would go ahead and get dressed. My clothes are already laid out for me from the night before so getting dressed is super quick and easy, and stress-free (come back in a couple of weeks for my Spring Night Routine to see why I get my clothes ready the night before).

Get Pretty

I do my makeup and hair after I’m dressed. It’s much easier to put a shirt over your face before your makeup is on. 

My makeup usually takes me about 20 – 30 minutes, and my hair depends on the style I’m wearing it in. Of course, I love hassle-free hairstyles that take a few minutes or less to do in the mornings.

h

Quick & Easy Breakfast

Breakfast on workdays is usually a bowl of instant oatmeal. It only takes a few minutes and I don’t have to think about what to make. When I want something different, I’ll go for a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese. Again, something super quick and easy (and easy to take with me). I’ll also grab my lunch from the freezer and put it in my work bag as I’m getting my breakfast ready.

h

Feed My Fur Babies

While my breakfast is getting ready, I will feed my cats, Comet and Cosmo. They eat dry food throughout the week that I get from a subscription with Chewy.com. Since their water bowl is in their room, I’ll give them their water while I’m doing my makeup.

If you have kids, it’s best to get yourself ready before them. This way you know everything needed is done and you can give them the time they need to have a great start to their day.

h

Leave For Work

I make sure that as I’m getting ready throughout the morning, I’m putting whatever I’m done with and need for the day, by the door. This way when it’s time to leave, I can leave without a hassle. Of course, there are times when something is forgotten, but that’s usually when I do things out of order.

Well, there you have it. These are the steps I take in my morning routine each day that has been working best for me. I hope you can take what I do and apply some of the steps to help with your stress-free morning routine.
