What if 15 minutes could change everything \u2013 would you try it?<\/p>\n

Mornings hold incredible power. How you begin your day determines how you show up for everything that follows. Proactively establishing a morning routine not only increases your energy and momentum, but it also helps you start your day with intention. You don\u2019t have to wake up hours earlier for this to be successful. Just choose how you want to spend the first 15 minutes of your morning. A morning routine just means you perform the same basic tasks in the same order every day. When you take even a few minutes to slow down, connect inward, and set your intention, you create space for more calm, focus, and joy.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a simple, 15-minute morning routine you can try tomorrow to feel more grounded, present, and in charge of your day:<\/p>\n

  1. Meditate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Meditation is a practice that allows us to quiet our mind of excessive chatter and create more awareness. Meditation brings about profound changes in one\u2019s mind, body and spirit.\u00a0 On a mind level, it allows us to be still and present.\u00a0 This can reduce our anxiety and bring about clarity and awareness. It also increases our creativity and improves memory and concentration. On the body level, it has been shown to slow the aging process, reduce stress, boost immunity and decrease heart rate and blood pressure.\u00a0 On the spirit level, when we meditate, we check out of our limited mind and open up our intuition, Spirit, and God.<\/p>\n

    There is no right or wrong way to meditate.\u00a0 And meditation doesn\u2019t have to be complicated or mystical.\u00a0 No need to sit a certain way, light candles, or be surrounded by crystals.\u00a0 If you want to do that then go for it, but in the beginning, keep it simple! \u00a0I suggest starting with short 5-10 minute guided meditations. This is what helped me fall in love with meditation. We have several on our website which you can check out aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Please know your mind will wander (because you\u2019re human!) \u2014 that\u2019s not failure, that\u2019s the practice. Each time you notice, lovingly guide yourself back to the guided meditation. This moment of stillness allows you to quiet mental noise, release stress, and start your day from a place of peace instead of reactivity.\u00a0 Think of this as pressing the reset button for your mind.<\/p>\n

    1. Journal<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Right after your meditation, grab your journal and spend a few minutes focusing on how you want to experience the day ahead. This helps you set your intentions for the day. What you focus on grows.<\/p>\n
