A Slight Tweak in My Morning Routine Proved to Be a Game-Changer
I feel calmer, and my mind is clear
Imagine for a second living in a world without technology — no phone, no TV, no social media.
Before you roll your eyes and tell me your world will turn upside down, hear me out.
Now, imagine swapping all the things I’ve just mentioned with natural activities that will add flow and rhythm to your day.
What do I mean by that? A relaxing morning routine, where you don’t check your phone or jump on the computer first thing in the morning, but slowly meditate or read while enjoying your morning cup of coffee.
This has been my morning routine for the past few days, and I can vouch for the results.
I’ve tried the no-screen approach to starting my days and it has proven to be a game changer. I feel less stressed and anxious, and more present. I have more energy and motivation to carry me through the day.
Before I tried this approach, I was all over the place — social media, e-mails, text messages. My mind was racing from one thing to another and instead of enjoying my morning cup of coffee, I was mindlessly jumping from one activity to the next.
