The idea of having a perfect morning routine can feel a bit... much. Get up at 5am, meditate for 30-minutes, do an hour-long yoga class, journal until your hand goes numb…

And while I do think a morning routine is one of the best things to shift your mindset and get you feeling positive and grounded, making it so bloody structured can feel overwhelming; you’ll be less excited by it, less inclined to do it, and it’ll probably cause more damage than good. Trust me on this (and read this about how having flexibility in your habits is probably the key).

But I’ve found one of the most simple, easy-going ways to start my days that’s adaptable, energising, and powerful, without the overwhelm.

Let’s dive in.
