HOW TO CREATE A MINDFUL MORNING ROUTINE

July 15, 2020 By Melanie No Comments

This post is sponsored by FAGE; however, all opinions are strictly my own. Thank you for supporting the brands I love! ~ Mel

I wasn’t always a morning person. In fact, I used to hate rolling out of bed in the morning. My alarm would be set for 8am on weekdays, knowing full well that I would have to leave the apartment by 8:45am to get to work on time. I would hit the snooze button a few times until I literally only had 30 min to shower, change, eat, walk my dog and leave. A mindful morning routine? Yeah, I wouldn’t necessarily call it that. 

When I decided to take my business full time, things changed. Now more than ever, I’ve been appreciating waking up early and allowing myself the time and space to start the day off on the right foot. Mornings are something I look forward to. It’s when I’m the most productive and when the most creative ideas come to me. I try to give myself a full two hours to mindfully enter the day with a variety of healthy habits. 

So how do you create a mindful morning routine? It starts with adding small habits that can dramatically improve your mindset and productivity. They’re not necessarily groundbreaking, but I promise they are very effective. 

If you’re ready to get through summer a little more mindfully, here are some tips to get started. 

EAT A NOURISHING BREAKFAST

Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. No matter how busy my schedule is, I always try to make time for something simple and nourishing. If you follow me on the ‘gram, you’re probably quite familiar with my main 3 breakfasts of choice: Yogurt bowls, oatmeal and smoothies. All three of these can be made in less than 10 minutes and can provide the right mix of protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants that fuel my body and keep me satiated. 

In order to take all 3 of these meals from plain to amazing, you have to start with good wholesome ingredients. I love FAGE Total 0% Plain Greek yogurt because it’s creamy, delicious and doesn’t have any added sugar. It’s obviously the base to my yogurt bowls but I also love to add a spoonful to my smoothies and as a topping for my steel cut oats. 

I jazzed up my FAGE Total 0% Plain Greek yogurt this morning by mixing in a tsp of matcha powder and adding homemade raspberry chia jam, granola, pumpkin seeds, honey and fresh raspberries. So simple and so delicious!

Whatever you decide to make, do your best to unplug and disconnect while you eat. Savor each bite, take note of the different textures, and once again, practice gratitude for the meal you prepared.

HYDRATE

I always drink a full 8oz glass of water when I get up. If I go straight for my latte, I’ll get a headache almost instantly. Your body goes 8 hours without water while you sleep so this is seriously SUCH an important step to starting your day on the right foot. Your body and mind will thank you later. 

NON-TOXIC SKINCARE 

My morning skincare routine is super simple since I save the crazy stuff for night. I skip the cleanser and rinse my face with super cold water. Not only is it very refreshing but it tightens pores and reduces inflammation immediately. Afterwards I apply a serum, light moisturizer and skincare primer. If I have time I’ll add a sheet mask or gua sha, but I typically save the luxe stuff for the weekends. If you want to see which products I love and use regularly, be sure to check out THIS post. 

WALK OUTSIDE

Since I’m a proud mama of two adorable fur babies I have an excuse to get some fresh air every single morning. These little moments of sunshine can do so much good for my mental health. The next time you’re on your walk try to actively slow your pace. Take in all the different sights and sounds. Find something beautiful and say a silent “thank you” just for being able to observe the world around you.  

DAILY GRATITUDE AND QUIET TIME

Sometimes this means a 15 min meditation. Some days it means reading a chapter of a book I love or journaling what I’m thankful for while sipping on my coffee. And there are other days when it’s as simple as rolling out my yoga mat and doing some light stretches. Whatever I decide, this is such a beautiful time to unplug and prepare my mind for the day. I’ve also been loving turning on the Daily Wellness channel on Spotify to jumpstart my day with a super brief meditation and positive tunes. I always feel more eager to jump into my to-do list after giving myself a little time to be at ease.

MAKE MY BED

I know it seems trivial but I’ve been making my bed every morning since high school and it is a game changer. Think of it as the first small task you’ve accomplished of the day. Keeping your bed tidy helps spur a chain effect of wanting to keep the rest of your room organized as well. And as someone who works from home, I thrive best in a clutter-free space. When my apartment gets messy, everything else is thrown off! Even my husband can tell when my space is deeply affecting my mood. 

I hope you all enjoyed this little peek into my morning routine and feel inspired to add a few things to yours!

Sharing a different kind of #SelfCare Session with you all because it seriously did wonders for my self confidence and I am here to spill the tea!! 💛

I felt like pregnancy and postpartum aged me so quickly and the stress + lack of sleep + inflammation definitely manifested in the skin on my face looking ROUGH. I was seeing more fine lines, sun spots, redness and enlarged pores than ever before (that second photo has me feeling so exposed 🙈)

So when @laseredbykaitlyn reached out to tell me about Moxi and BBL laser treatments, I was immediately interested. I had heard great things about them before and although I was a bit skeptical at first, I knew it was worth a try 

Swipe through to see the whole journey from two sessions at @alluvionaesthetics — one round of just Moxi and one round of Moxi & BBL together. 

I am sooo beyond happy with the results and my skin looks so much healthier, younger and refreshed! I wanted to share with you all in case any of you are struggling with similar skin issues 💛✨

Let me know if you have any q’s!

#Ad Self-Care morning routines are a little shorter these days and that just means I’ve learned to prioritize habits and products that go the extra mile to make me feel my best! ✨

One #healthyhabit I’m always working on, especially living in Colorado, is #hydration and that’s why I was SO excited to get my hands on @goultima’s NEW Collagen Defense! I mean… an electrolyte drink that keeps me hydrated AND has skin boosting benefits? Sign me up! 👏🏻🍓 

The Kiwi Strawberry flavor is so refreshing and the blend of Dermaval and Biotin helps to protect skin’s natural collagen & elastin plus support hair, skin and nails. The best part? It tastes amazing and has no sugar, calories, carbs or artificial sweeteners.

Head to my stories for the link and let me know if you’ll be trying this for yourself! 💕

A little reminder that your younger self would be
A little reminder that your younger self would be so PROUD of how far you’ve come and this life you are currently living is worth celebrating every. single. day. 💛

I’m someone who is always chasing new goals… and while I appreciate my willingness to hustle, I also know that without intentionally pausing to find gratitude in the present moment it can be far to easy to get used to the things you once were working so hard for. 

This morning, in the midst of my brain starting to spiral thinking about “what’s next” (and having a minor meltdown), I had a moment where I looked around and realized “wow, THIS life is exactly what you dreamed of years ago.” 

And if I look back on so many previous years of my life, I had countless other “aha” moments like that too. Many things that my younger self would have never dreamed possible, became a reality… sometimes in the smallest, most subtle of ways 

All this to say, it’s SO important to keep chasing your dreams. This world needs you. It needs you and your voice, your gifts, your talents and your unique perspective ☺️

Just don’t forget to pause every once in awhile and look around with gratitude for the life you are living right now too 💕

#Ford_Ambassador Welcome back to “romanticizing routines,” a mini series where I’m sharing different ways to find joy in the small, everyday moments. 💛

Today’s tip is all about leaning into seasonal joys and with it being early summertime that calls for gardening!🪏🪴🫜It’s times like these that I’m SO happy I have my 2025 @Ford Explorer® SUV because the cargo space is perfect for large hauls. 

The available feature back seats fold down with a touch of a button and it’s been a game changer for road trips and grocery shopping. In this case I was able to fill it with multiple bags of soil, a pot and lots of starter flowers, herbs and strawberries! 🍓🌼 

This is just the beginning of plenty more planting I plan on doing this season and I can’t wait to share more. I already know we’ll be spending lots of time out on our back porch, whether we are gardening, barbecuing, sipping coffee in the morning or hosting friends for dinner. 🍽️ 

Let me know if you want to see the start of my cut flower garden and maybe a full garden tour later this month!

Mondays are for matcha and I’ll be having this blueberry iced #matchalatte all summer long 🫐🩵

It’s so easy to make and tastes sweet & refreshing! Here’s a little step-by-step of how to make the BEST matcha at home: 

✨ sift 1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder to remove clumps 
✨ Pour 1/4 cup of hot water, ideally between 160-175 degrees Fahrenheit, over matcha 
✨ Using bamboo whisk, whisk vigorously in a W shape until microfoam forms 

For the blueberry portion, muddle fresh blueberries with blueberry syrup (or make a homemade blueberry syrup by heating blueberries with sugar, lemon juice and water over the stove)

Pour blueberry syrup in glass, add ice, pour in milk of choice and top with matcha for a beautiful layered effect 

Swirl and enjoy! 💙🦋
