Ce McDonald: Mornings are my reset and strategy time. I start with water, a made bed, and a quick skincare routine. It’s part ritual, part mindset. Coffee in hand, I check my calendar, scan my inbox, and catch up on any missed calls or texts. Read more>>

It would look like diving into learning scanning new art, music, and creative ideas then reflecting, writing, and helping people create meaningful messages and stories. Read more>>

I try to wake up 15 or so minutes before my son so that I can have a little me time first. Then I get him dressed, sometimes read him a book, and then bring him to the kitchen for my aupair to start her day with him. Read more>>

As a mom of two (soon to be three!) and the owner of a 30+-person therapy practice, I’ve learned that I need to get ahead of my day before I start chasing it. I wake up about an hour before my kids — that quiet time sets the tone for everything that follows. Read more>>

The first 90 minutes of my day are almost always dedicated to my morning practice, a ritual I’ve committed to for over 10 years. It’s my way of checking in with myself, making me the priority, and setting the tone to lead my day rather than letting it lead me. Read more>>

The first 90 minutes of my day begin with me waking up and thanking God for allowing me and my son to wake up and spend another day together, It’s making sure I’m not rushing to get my son to daycare, but enjoying the little moments from brushing his hair to making his breakfast, singing a little song when we are sitting in traffic.

The first 90 minutes of my day looks like waking up using restroom, brushing teeth, brush hair, let my dog out feeding and watering my dog and start my breakfast and coffee to start my day. Read more>>

Well, mornings here are anything but quiet. We’re both a plant shop and a bird rescue, so the first 90 minutes are full of life—sometimes literally flying around. When we arrive, our flock of seven (Chimichurri, Earl Grey, Lychee, Melon, Taco, Barley, and Soya) greets us with a chorus of squawks, whistles, and pure chaos. It’s our version of a morning meeting.

After waking up and showering I prepare a cup of fresh ginger tea. I take this to my terrace in Miami which has a generosity of views including the bay with its small boats which pass by. I let my mind drift. If someone I know has a birthday, a baby, a family loss, etc. I write a poem.. Read more>>

My first 90 minutes include a Shiatsu meridian stretch, 100 sit ups and 40 push ups. Allow me to explain, grounding myself at the beginning of the day is important if I am to succeed the rest of the day. As a veteran hairstylist, educator, coach, and former salon owner, I decided to go back to school and learn Shiatsu massage and Chinese medicine. Read more>>

The first 90 minutes of my day are my foundation. I start by watching the sunrise while enjoying an infusion ( sometimes coffee, sometimes tea) depending on the mood and energy I want to cultivate. Then I dedicate about an hour to yoga, which helps me connect body and mind before diving into the day. Read more>>
