MORNING ROUTINE: Starting Your Day With Purpose

Where Petals Unfold, Hearts Flourish

Hey Lilies! Mornings set the tone for the entire day – let’s talk about creating a routine that nourishes your soul. Each new morning we are once again given the opportunity to reset and have another go at life! A successful day doesn’t just happen, it is the result of deliberate, intentional planning that takes place at its very beginning, or even the night before. An organized routine allows for a better chance of an efficient use of precious time, a day without a plan or a routine can easily get crazy and lose its natural rhythm. After waking up from a restful night’s sleep, the first thing I do is to express my gratitude and appreciation to God for me being a part of another new day! I do not take life for granted.

I spend the next 10 – 15 minutes in prayer, giving thanks for all the many blessings that are mine the minute my eyes are open! I seek to know my purpose and ask for guidance for the day. This sets the pace for calm and focus. After getting out of bed, my daily routine continues with 5 minutes of stretching and breathing – my body needs this to perform at its optimum and I definitely feel the difference when I neglect this step. After my personal care routine, a healthy hearty breakfast is next, during which time I check with my daily planner to see what I have scheduled for the day. I am now ready to meet the world and anything life throws at me. Most definitely, a happy ending requires a great start!
