Awake! A quiet prayer rises to God for my gratitude and request for strength to ground the day. Slowly, I move toward the space where my awakening continues, ‘the bathroom’ for a fresh wash, soft lounge wear, and a sense of ease. With intention, I open the 13 windows of my home, welcoming the morning light and allowing love, expectation, and grace to flow in. Read More>>

Coffee, mindless games on the internet, at least 10 minutes of cardio, checking and responding to emails., brekky, Maybe other stuff, but it is morning and I’m not fully functional yet. Read More>>

Wake up without an alarm – I’m pretty sure our bodies aren’t supposed to be jolted awake on a regular bases if we want to be healthy. Drink 32 ounces of water – Gotta get hydrated. I don’t usually drink water when I’m sleeping ;-). Prepare some Colombian coffee – We just can’t find anything as good in the States. Read More>>

Every morning I carve out time to begin without rushing. My day starts with a warm cup of matcha — my favorite ritual — followed by meditation, reflection, and journaling. This simple practice helps me slow down, get clear, and create space for the day ahead. Yoga doesn’t just happen on the mat — it starts with how we greet ourselves each morning. Read More>>

Mellow and free! I tend wake early almost purely to wake with the day itself. get out of bed, get some light stretching in and ease into action. I put on the Bialetti, have some water and a banana and make a light breakfast to eat when the coffee’s done. Send kisses across state lines and timezones, play my guitar a little (and quietly!

From 5:30–6:30 a.m., I have coffee, scroll through my texts and emails for any urgent issues, then prioritize my day and meetings if I need to shuffle things around. After that, I watch CNBC for market updates on bonds and economic news. From 6:30 to 7 a.m., I exercise in the gym in my garage. Read More>>

I am big on owning the morning! Own the morning and you’ll own the day. The first thing I do is drink some water and take my supplements. I avoid scrolling on the phone or taking phone calls (I don’t always get up super early because my brain goes into hyperfocus mode after midnight, it seems lol) so that I can keep my peace.

When I open my eyes in the morning the first thing I do is pray. After getting out of bed I make sure the dogs and cat have been tended to and then I start a 90 min ritual of prayer, contemplation and Bible reading. This first 90 min of my day are the most valued to me. Read More>>

I am not a morning person. I’m just not. A few years back, I stopped feeling guilty and beating myself up about it and that was a game changer for me. Instead of forcing myself out of bed and spending the next 2-3 hours miserable, I now let myself sleep in and wake up leisurely. Read More>>

Once I’m awake, one of the first things I like to do is have a comfortable sit and say positive affirmations to myself out loud. This 3-4 minute routine has undisputedly changed my life and I’m so grateful I discovered it. I highly recommend self-affirmation practice to anyone who is working on their personal growth.

As soon as I open my eyes I let the world wash into me. Is it the light peaking through the window? Is it a buzz from my phone? Is it a bird chirping on the street? The start of the day fills my brain and body, I do not judge it, I simply let it in. Read More>>

The first 90 minutes of my day are started in prayer and thanksgiving. Followed by brewing some coffee and reading the bible (GOD’s word). We have five dogs and a pig that I let out of there room and take them outside so they can run around. Read More>>

The first 90 minutes of my day set the tone for the rest of my day. It’s a time I cherish, a time to quiet the noise in my head and be still. I avoid taking early morning calls because that’s my sacred time—the only exception is if it is a real emergency. Read More>>
