Streamline Your Day
Simplify Your Morning Routine
I took a hard look at my getting-ready process and eliminated unnecessary steps. Multi-use products, higher-quality tools that work more efficiently, and a simple makeup approach have cut my bathroom time in half. Ask yourself what parts of your routine truly matter to you and what might be habitual time-wasters. For me, I realized an elaborate makeup routine wasn’t bringing me joy – just stress about running late.
Move Your Body, Even Briefly
I’m not suggesting everyone needs to become a 5AM gym enthusiast (I’m certainly not). But even five minutes of gentle movement makes a difference in how I feel all day. Sometimes it’s simple stretches beside my bed, a short walk around the block while my coffee brews, or a quick dance to an upbeat song. Movement doesn’t have to be intense or prolonged to help release tension and boost your mood.
