 I'm going to write in my five minute journal. I know I used to mention it a lot, but I kind of fell out of the habit of doing it for a while. Now I'm getting back into it because it feels so, so, so, so good to start your morning off with gratitude. And once you do that, it helps you to be thankful for everything that comes in your way throughout the rest of the day. Basically what the five minute journal is, it gives you a quote every day. Today's quote is, we cannot change what we are not aware of. And once we are aware we cannot help it change. So it gives you a quote and then it has a few sections below and you have to write three things that you're grateful for, three things that would make today great and daily affirmations. And then at night you pick it back up and you write three amazing things that happened today and then how could I have made today better? Obviously like you don't want to write the same things every day. So kind of like forces you to realize how much you have in your life to be grateful for and that really look at your surroundings and take them in and realize how lucky and fortunate you are to be even just have a roof over your head or like those little small things that you wouldn't normally be grateful for. It helps you reflect on that and starting your day off with that is just really the best thing because it helps set up your day with kind of like a positive attitude. So that's what I'm gonna do right now. What would make today great? I wrote down going on a walk, having a good workout and less time on my phone. So it kind of allows you to also set goals for the day saying like what would make today great? You can incorporate like self-care in it. Like you can be like, oh, I wanna meditate. So honestly, I would really recommend this. I'll link it down below for you guys. It's in my Amazon storefront. I think it's so worth it and I love this thing so much. And also being grateful is going to allow you to attract more things into your life and attract more things to be grateful for. It just works with a lot of attraction. So if you're trying to manifest something I would suggest starting with gratitude. Okay, so now I'm going to just give the kitchen a bit of a cleanup. So there's a little bit of dishes in here from last night and then I'm just gonna put away these dishes and also the dishwasher does need to be unloaded as well. So I like to do this first thing because I just don't like going through the day with a messy kitchen. I want it to be like a fresh start. So I like cleaning it and just giving it a little bit of a cleanup first thing in the morning so that I can start the day with a fresh start. Two cups of water. I have a few of these Starbucks tumbler cups that are, I think they're like at least two cups of water. I've never measured them before but I have a few of these that I rotate between that I just, every single morning I drink water out of because I just feel better when I'm hydrated and when I'm drinking water. Like if a full day passes by and I realize that I haven't drinking any water I honestly feel like shit. In the morning I try to, as much as I can, drink like a full one of these before I eat or have a coffee or do anything. As long as I have like one of these in the morning it helps me stay on track for the day. And then I'll fill a tumbler cup like this up about like two to three times more throughout the day. And as long as I have like three of these I feel like that's my daily water intake. So then I feel good about it. So if you guys are struggling to drink water honestly just get yourself like a bigger water bottle or like a tumbler cup like this and it'll motivate you just fill it up every single morning and just make it a point of at least drinking like one of them a day and then you can go from there. Having something like this where you can take with you anywhere you go it's definitely like more motivating and it'll help you stay hydrated. So I used to always start off my day with like water with lemon and I haven't done that in a while. Kind of want to get back into that because I know that lemon is really good to like cleanse yourself first thing in the morning. So I think I'm going to actually start buying lemons again and squeezing them into my water at least like one a day. So one thing that really actually helps me in the morning is not checking my phone first thing when I wake up because when you check your phone first thing when you wake up it's like you're right away the start of your day is social media and there can be toxic things on social media things that make you feel insecure or the list goes on. And so I just feel like looking at my phone and scrolling through social media first thing when I wake up it sets my day up almost for failure and laziness because that's just going to be a pattern that I continue throughout my day is scrolling through TikTok and when I shouldn't be in all that kind of stuff. So as soon as I stopped scrolling through my phone when I wake up it honestly has made the best difference in my morning. It's like I promise you if you feel sluggish in the morning and if you're the type of person that is on a morning person I would challenge yourself to not look at your phone first thing when you wake up and instead of looking at your phone go wake up and go do some yoga wake up and go do something that's more interactive with yourself and connected to yourself rather than outsourcing entertainment that you don't need first thing when you wake up. And it's so important to start the day off with a clear level head so that you're setting your day up for success. And yeah, I usually wait honestly until like after I'm done my workout and like my yoga and everything and after I've really just done like my morning routine then I'll allow myself while eating breakfast or something like that to look at social media and stuff but first thing in the morning is just not it to be honest it's not it. If you guys are struggling with productivity and everything definitely try that because it helped me so much. Okay guys, this is the little gym fit for today. So I put this on because now I'm going to do my yoga and my meditation and I just follow a yoga video I'll leave it linked down below this is the one that I've been into I usually like to switch it up every few months when I just get bored of it but I will link the one down below that I like doing now. So I'm going to go do that I just put on the video on the TV you guys will see and then I'm going to do my meditation and then after that we're going to head to the gym. I just want us to get in the workout holding to do the yoga and the meditation because it makes it more comfortable. Doing yoga in the morning honestly just helps my body stretch out because when I wake up I honestly feel so stiff and during the yoga session you won't even be able to count the amount of like cracks because my body is so stiff from waking up and it just feels so good to do it in the morning. So if you guys have never tried doing like stretching or yoga in the morning I promise you it is a game changer and you will feel so good afterwards it just makes me feel like I can actually like sit down and work and do stuff with my day and if I don't do it I honestly feel weird throughout the whole day and I feel super stiff and honestly like I can't move I don't know what it is but I just love it it has honestly changed my life and my mornings so if you guys have never tried doing yoga I would totally suggest it it doesn't even have to be yoga it can be just stretching just anything to move your body when you first wake up it helps so so so much in my personal experience at least. Okay so if you guys are new to my channel and you're wondering why I have an air mattress in my living room it's because we actually have a couch that's coming it's coming in hopefully a month latest but anyways that's why we have an air mattress setup right now as a couch we've just been using this as a couch so yeah if you were curious on why there's an air mattress here and also I was just using this weighted blanket as a yoga mat because I have my yoga mat back on my parents house so I was just this honestly works perfectly fine so until I get that I've just been using that. Okay hair is done we are going to go to the gym I just used this regular paddle brush and then this the worst one just you know sleek back the sides yeah now we're going to go to the gym and gross so what I did is I just did a little bit of 12 incline on the treadmill and you do three speeds so three miles per hour and then you do it for 30 minutes it's such a good workout but anyways so after I did that I just did a bit of like stirring if I did a bit of weights okay so now let's make a smoothie I'm going to do a protein fruit shake smoothie and I think with that I want to have like a meal as well because I am starving honestly but I also want to get like a protein shake in so I'm going to kind of do both it honestly kind of just depends on morning sometimes I'll just have like a protein shake like a fruit protein shake and then sometimes I'll just have like a meal honestly I don't have a smoothie every single day I try to have one as often as possible to get in like my fruits and stuff for the day but if I don't have one like it's not that big of a deal but I try to make sure to have on every single day and that's like I really don't feel like it okay so this is what I usually do for my morning smoothies I'll put like fruit protein powder maple syrup to sweeten it and then I'll put some sort of green so I actually put kale today usually I put spinach but kale is what we had so I just use kale but yeah that's basically all that I do this is the protein powder that I use it's organic it's vanilla it's vegan and it actually has it has four servings of green made up of broccoli kale spinach papaya, blueberry in one scoop so this stuff is actually really good I just got it at Walmart and it blends really nicely into a smoothie so okay so here's breakfast I got two scrambled eggs with this toast that has seven grams of protein in each slice and then I just put peanut butter on it and then with the smoothie so pretty easy healthy breakfast okay so after I eat I like to take my vitamins so I just slotted it out like every for every single day and I just kind of pick half of them to have in the morning and then the other half I have after dinner so I'm just gonna take half of these right now okay I'm just about to shower but I just needed to put you guys on this body wash holy shit it's literally the best thing that I've ever used and it smells so freaking good so yeah just putting you on this but I'm gonna hop in the shower cause I don't wanna waste water but literally best body wash and smells like heaven it's so good okay guys so now is the time of the morning where I would get ready for the day let's say if I was filming I was going out I would do my makeup and I would get in a cute outfit but since I'm not doing anything today I'm just gonna be at home editing cause today is just an editing day I'm not gonna put on any makeup because there's no point because I'm just gonna be literally sitting down all day inside probably won't even go out today and just edit so today's a no makeup day but this is the time where I would get ready if I were to get ready so but yeah so now we're gonna go make ourselves a coffee so this is just the fit of today I'm just wearing these sweatpants that I thrifted and this white fox hoodie and that is basically it I just really wanna be cute a little bit cute but comfortable that is what I'm aiming for today cause I'm just gonna be like sitting so that is the little fit for today so today I made myself a hot drip coffee every single day I have a different thing because I get bored so usually I'll use my Nespresso machine and make like a latte an iced or hot latte but today I was feeling the drip coffee machine coffee honestly incorporating those things that you guys saw into my morning routine has just set me up for success obviously what you deem successful in your life is not gonna be the same as what I deem successful in terms of what sets me up for the day like everybody is unique, everybody is different so what works for me or what works for someone else may not work for you so yeah my best advice is get in a routine if you're feeling in like a slump but make your own routine sometimes copying somebody's routine is just not gonna be it for you and it's not gonna satisfy what you want in your morning my best advice would be to make your own routine and cater to what you want and what makes you feel good so right now I'm just gonna look over my schedule for work and see what I have to get done today and get to work so that was my morning routine I hope you guys enjoyed please give this video a like and subscribe if you did and yeah please leave any video suggestions that you wanna see night routine leave that in the comments down below I love you guys so much
