So today, I’m going to share my routine in case it inspires yours, but I’m mainly going help you design a unique-to-you morning routine.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to craft a unique-to-you morning routine that is effective for your needs + lifestyle

A healthy morning routine can set you up to have a more productive, energetic and happy day!
I’ve had roughly the same morning routine for about one year now, and on the rare days I don’t do it, my entire day is thrown off. I end up feeling distracted, low, irritable and just not as productive as I usually am.
But when I intentionally do my morning routine every day, I see a noticeable difference in my attitude, mindset and productivity.
I like to keep my morning routine to 3 simple steps most days. Some days I throw in more, but if you’re new to morning routines or you struggle to stick with them, try giving it just three steps.
When it’s too complicated, you won’t look forward to it. Your morning routine needs to be something you look forward to getting out of bed for every day.
When you have a long-winded routine, you’re more likely to only complete a few of the tasks anyway. And when you continuously fail to complete the others, you start to feel like an unproductive failure.
That’s not what we want.
Your morning routine needs to leave you feeling energised and ready to tackle your day!
Most importantly, your routine should help you make time for yourself.
We’re not going to be using this simple three-step morning routine to make packed lunches for the kids, answer emails or clean the kitchen.
Can you do those things? Yes, of course!
But not first thing in the morning.
Your first-thing morning routine is alllll about making time for you and your self-care.
My simple morning routine is broken into three sections:
Self-Care
Self-Care
Goal
Yes, you heard that right - you give yourself two self-care tasks to do.
If you’re thinking… “Nesha, you’re an entrepreneur so why are there no business tasks included in your morning routine??”
My friend, that’s the whole point.
For me, my morning routine exists to help me prioritize myself and look after my self-care before I jump into looking after my business and students for the rest of the day.
I don’t need to use my precious morning time to create a business to-do list for the day because I create my to-do lists once a week on a Sunday. I’ll probably make a podcast episode about this soon so subscribe to be notified when that comes out! (Subscribe on iTunes, Google or Spotify.)
The fact is: You can’t pour from an empty cup. Meaning, you can’t help others - your clients, students and family - if you are not helping yourself first. A self-care morning routine is a simple way for you to invest in yourself and become the best version of yourself. Then you can give people the best of you.
