As a professional mother, I could use a better way to start my day. Brad Voorhees delivers. ✅

If a picture says 1,000 words, how about a video? What would you guess or chime in with?

Earlier this week I talked about a “stitch.”

(v.) In a social media act, a stitch is when two influencers, creators, subject matter experts or thought leaders from anywhere in the world quickly make an AWESOME video together.

Social video ideas: What is a stitch?

And now I’m bringing you an all new short video series for working parents and friends (by them)!

STITCH episode 01: How do you start your day?

Here’s STITCH episode 01: How do you start your day?

Brad runs ScaleTx, an HR advisory firm in Royal Oak, MI and helps leaders everywhere build a solid foundation for growth.

So, here’s the deal. It’s super early, and I’ve been looking for a better way to start my day.

So, one of the things that I do that start my morning off really well is, and especially I do this in the summertime when my daughter doesn’t go to school, and I have a little bit extra time is I get up early.

And I go take a walk down my street and make this loop. I drink coffee, I listen to music. So, all in all, that’s about 20 to 25 minutes. And then before I go back into my house, because I know there’s a ton of craziness going on there, I sit on my front patio, and I pray. So, I do those two things, exercise and pray, all before about, I would say, 8:10 8:15 in the morning.

Every time I do that, my day is so much better than any other day.

I love working and I love social media, especially LinkedIn, as weird as that sounds.

Too often, I just jump right up into it and try to get as much done as I can before my kids wake up.

Do you have a way to start your day for a positive outlook and growth mindset?
