“Morning Routines Over Hustle Culture" A mindful alternative to ‘grind mode’ how slow mornings changed my life.

Hey loves,

Let’s take a breath, right here, right now.

Not the rushed one you take before replying to emails.

Not the anxious one you let out before school

drop-off or clocking in for work.

A real one. A grounding one.

Because this..this moment, is yours.

Let me talk to you about the magic that happens when we stop choosing chaos as our default setting and start building peace into our mornings.

☀️ I Used to Wake Up Drowning

Drowning in alarms, in lists, in noise.

I thought that was success. That exhaustion meant I was doing “enough.”

And if I wasn’t overwhelmed, I must be falling behind, right?

But burnout started showing up in my body.

In my spirit.

In how short my fuse became with my kids, with my friends, with myself.

So, I changed it.

I started choosing slow.

🌿 The Sacred Slowness of My Mornings

My mornings now start with soft light and softer intentions.

Before the noise, I brew tea, open a window, and let the sun kiss my skin.

No emails. No scroll. No pressure.

Some days I journal.

Some days I stretch or sit still and listen to my breath.

But every day I check in with me first.

That’s the new hustle:

Choosing peace before productivity.

Centering before serving.

🔁 The Ripple Effect

That intentional calm?

It trickles into everything.

I’m more patient with my kids. I hear my own intuition louder. I trust myself more.

And guess what?

I still get things done just without sacrificing my well-being to do it.

🎧 Let This Be Your Reminder

You don’t need to prove your worth by being constantly busy.

You deserve mornings that nurture you, not mornings that drain you.

So tomorrow, try this:

Because Love, you’re not behind.

You’re just reclaiming your rhythm.
