The way you start your morning sets the tone for the entire day. Embracing a holistic approach to your mornings can be transformative. Enter the 3M Morning Routine: Mindset, Movement, and Me Time. This powerful routine combines mental clarity, physical vitality, and personal nourishment to help you conquer the day ahead.
Mindset: Cultivating Calmness, Surrender & Inner Peace
1. Meditation:
Start your day with meditation and stillness. I personally love the meditation practice taught by Dr. Joe Dispenza. Focus on your breath, clear your mind and let your thoughts silence. Meditation has truly changed my life and can
2. Journaling:
Pour your thoughts onto paper. Journaling allows you to express your feelings, set intentions, and clarify your goals. It’s a powerful tool for self-reflection. I love going back on my previous journal entries to see how far I’ve come.
3. Breathwork:
Deep, intentional breathing can reset your nervous system. Incorporate breathwork exercises to ground yourself and reduce stress. AND if you want to do a one-on-one breathwork session with me on zoom, you can click here to get your sessions.
4. “Thank you” affirmation or prayer
I love closing my eyes and repeating “thank you” over and over and over again. While you’re saying it, think about all you’re grateful for. It’s amazing how repeating this over and over can really change your entire sense of being.
5. Listen to an empowering podcast
Seriously, podcasts have changed my life! You can listen to my podcast, Self Love & Sweat THE PODCAST right here. I also really love The Next Level Human Podcast with Dr. Jade Teta and The School of Greatness with Lewis Howes.
Movement: Energize Your Body
1. Walking:
A brisk morning walk gets your blood flowing and sets a healthy rhythm for the day. It’s also an ideal time to enjoy Snap Supplements’ Organic Nitric Oxide Beets for improved heart health and sustained energy. I drink 1/2 a scoop of the beets in a full glass of water before I head out for my morning walk. The nitric oxide opens up your blood vessels to allow for better blood flow to your heart, brain and body. You can use code LUNDEN25 to get 25% OFF your Snap Supplements purchase.
2. Yoga:
Yoga is a wonderful way to increase flexibility and strength while nurturing mindfulness. It can enhance your physical and mental balance. Yoga has also helped me so much with my hiking recovery and strength.
3. Resistance Training:
Resistance training helps build lean muscle tissue, support your joints and bones and boosts metabolism. I really love the feeling of pushing through a tough workout. I never regret it!
4. Dancing:
Dance like nobody’s watching! A morning dance session not only lifts your spirits but also adds fun to your fitness routine. I love dancing to “Good Morning” by Max Frost (Baby, it’s a brand new day…..)
Me Time: Nourish Your Soul
1. Shower Bliss:
Enjoy a refreshing shower and add some essential oils to invigorate your senses. I love using morning showers to rehearse how I want to show up. Even a nice scalp massage and neck massage when you shampoo your hair. SO GOOD!
2. Coffee or Tea Ritual:
Sip your coffee or tea in silence. This peaceful moment is your time to gather your thoughts and savor the flavors. I can’t tell you how many women have come to me and said, “I just want to have my coffee in silence.” Well….now it’s your time to make that happen with your morning routine.
3. Reading:
Dive into a book or listen to an audiobook. Reading enriches your mind and transports you to new worlds. I highly recommend Human 365 by Dr. Jade Teta because it’s bite size reading every day to help you become a next level human and unlock your P.O.W.E.R.S.
