Welcome to the Mindful Morning Club

December 10, 2021 By Melanie No Comments

Mindful Morning Club

Hello friends and welcome to the #MindfulMorningClub. If you’ve ever struggled with creating a morning routine that A) you actually like B) you can stick with, this new series is for you! The Mindful Morning Club is my way to help turn your mornings into something you look forward to and hopefully leave you feeling more grounded, productive and joyful.

I haven’t always been a morning person and quite truthfully the majority of my adult life was spent hitting the snooze button too many times and rushing about like a mad woman before starting work. It wasn’t until I intentionally started training myself to wake up a little earlier (no, not 5:30am) and carve out some time for myself, that I really noticed a difference in how my morning routine would make me feel, physically and mentally.

As much as I love sharing pieces of my mornings with you on Instagram and TikTok, I wanted to take this a step further and help you create your own morning routines! There are a lot of things in the works but here’s an idea of what you can expect to see in the new year:

  1. Regular yoga classes with me over zoom
  2. Bi-weekly newsletter filled with tidbits for your mental health, daily wellness, productivity and mindfulness
  3. Monthly wellness challenges
  4. A private FB community filled with new friends who are on the same journey as you
  5. Exclusive products to help enhance your morning routine

The truth is, “mindful mornings” don’t need to be extravagant or time-consuming in order to be effective. All of the above offerings are here to help you prioritize your mental and physical health before you jump into your day-to-day activities.

Sound like something you’re interested in? Be the first to know when products, classes, and challenges are dropping by signing up for my mailing list.

Along with emails specific to product drops and class signup info, you’ll also be receiving the bi-weekly Mindful Morning newsletter starting in January 2022.

Mindful Morning Planner

As part of this new series, I’m delighted to share the release of my very own Mindful Morning Planner, available on Amazon!! It was SO fun to design the planner of my dreams and my hope is that it’ll become a very special part of your mornings. Here’s what you can expect to find inside:

  • Undated Monthly Calendar and Daily Planning pages give you the flexibility to start and stop as needed!
  • Healthy Habits to build a morning routine that works for you
  • Daily Pages include space for:
    • affirmations
    • morning routines
    • hydration & sleep trackers
    • to-do lists
    • important notes
    • meal planning
    • daily movement
    • gratitude prompt
  • Over 180 inspirational quotes and mindfulness tips
  • Monthly journal prompts and intention setting space
  • Yearly Goals and Monthly Reflection sections
  • 12 unique mood tracker coloring pages

If you share your morning journaling sessions I’d love to see them on Instagram! Be sure to tag me @headstandsandheels and #mindfulmorningclub so I can re-share.

Mindful Morning Candle

Along with the release of the planner, I’ve also partnered with the lovely mother, daughter duo of Little Light Candle Co. to co-create a limited edition “Mindful Morning” candle!

This candle smells absolutely DIVINE — a beautiful blend of bergamot, mandarin, lemon peel, thyme, white tea, and chrysanthemum. It’s infused with clean, non-toxic essential oils and 100% USA grown soy wax.

It comes in two different sizes and makes the PERFECT holiday gift (for yourself or a loved one)! Light it in the mornings while you sip your coffee and write in your planner. I’ll be doing the same.

Mindful Morning Candle

Thank you all for your endless support and encouragement! I can’t wait to share more with you in the new year.

Much love and gratitude

One of the most difficult parts of being a new mom
One of the most difficult parts of being a new mom has been learning how to let go of the need to constantly be “productive”

and as a chronic overachiever, I’ve struggled a lot with tying self-worth to productivity. Which means accepting that my goals might take more of a backseat right now has been extra challenging

one thing that has helped shift my mindset was acknowledging that slowing down does NOT mean that I’m failing. In fact, days or even seasons of slowness are an important part of life and crucial for our overall physical and emotional wellbeing

Being able to reframe the classic thought pattern of “I did nothing today” to one of these more positive phrases is a helpful way to place the emphasis on self-care and acknowledge that there is joy to be found in slowing down 

if this post finds you, I hope it serves as a helpful validation that sometimes ✨rest✨ is truly the most important thing you can do for yourself 💕

As we enter what may feel like the busiest time of
As we enter what may feel like the busiest time of year, let this be your guide to ✨resetting your nervous system✨ so that you can help regulate stress and return to a state of calm 

GIVE YOURSELF A RELEASE
when your body just needs to let go of any pent up tension, stress or anxiety — movement and allowing yourself to FEEL all of the emotions can be the best medicine

GROUND YOURSELF IN THE PRESENT
after releasing the feelings and energy, try a few grounding practices to reorient your nervous system and come back to the present moment 

ACTIVATE THE RELAXATION RESPONSE
slow down and help your body transition to the parasympathetic nervous system (otherwise known as the “rest & digest” state) with activities like breathwork, yoga, or even a long hug 

GET SUPPORT FROM LOVED ONES
intentionally surround yourself with people who help you regulate your stress vs add to it. The feeling of being safe and supported can’t ever be underestimated 

PRIORITIZE DEEP REST 
at the end of the day, practicing good sleep hygiene and prioritizing rest can be the best thing you do for your mind and body. These restorative moments allow for your nervous system to truly reset and recover 

Be sure to SAVE this post for whenever you may need it this holiday season and share it if you feel like it would be helpful to anyone you know! 💕

It’s the beginning of the most wonderful time of year and my absolute favorite holiday🎄❤️

I know Nov 1st may seem a little early to start celebrating the Christmas season for some but I always feel like this time of year flies by too fast. So decorating our home early and starting all the fun Christmas baking, crafts and festive activities feels like a special way to make the most of the holidays ❤️

Who else will be spending the weekend decorating?

The person who sent you this wants to have a spooky date night in to celebrate Halloween 🎃

Halloween isn’t my fav holiday but I do love a themed cozy evening with my favorite person… and it feels even more special these days as new parents. So we decided to have a SPOOKY date complete with homemade pizzas (with ghost shaped mozzarella), blackberry smash cocktails, a candle painting craft, pumpkin ice cream, and a rewatch of “Haunting of Bly Manor” 🖤 

PS: I’m not a big horror movie fan but this show is such a well done metaphor of how grief can haunt you and the tone feels much more gothic romance than classic jump scares 

Anywaaay, after tomorrow I’m looking forward to decorating our home for Christmas and you can expect lots of cozy, whimsical ideas to savor and celebrate the holiday season coming soon ☺️

“When we are together darling, every night is Halloween.” 🖤

Lily was invited to her first Halloween party yesterday so we obviously had to dress up as one of the most iconic, creepy + kooky families ever! And I know I’m so biased but I don’t think I’ve seen a cuter Wednesday Addams 🥹

Such a fun way to celebrate spooky season (and a pretty easy family costume if you’re in need of something last minute!) 

But what do you guys think? Is it creepy or cute? 👇🏼

You all know I love a mindful morning routine, but in this season of life, cozy evening rituals have been everything for me ✨💕

If you’re looking for quick and simple ways to add a little more hygge into your evenings, these are some of my personal favorites to: 

Restore your Body
✨just a few minutes of intentional movement or nourishing self care can help your body relax, unwind and prepare for a good night’s sleep 

Clear your Mind
✨ stop the scroll and opt for more positive ways to reduce the mental clutter. Taking a few minutes to reflect and reset your thoughts can help you fall asleep with a clear mind 

Soothe your Soul
✨the quiet moments of the evening provide the perfect opportunity to choose activities that make you happy. Whether it’s reading a book, trying a new cozy hobby or even as simple as stepping outside to look at the moon & stars… choose to end your day with warmth and ease 

If you’d like to receive my free printable Autumn Reflections guided journal, just comment JOURNAL and I’ll send it straight to your inbox. It’s the perfect thing to add to your cozy evening (or morning) routine 🧡
