This episode of the Fit is Freedom podcast is a bonus Friday episode!
I was on a walk with my dog this morning, reflecting on my ideal morning routine when I realized how seldomly everything happens perfectly. Of course waking up without an alarm, spending time meditating and journaling with a fresh cup of coffee, then heading out to a workout before my day truly begins sounds like a dream. But, it isn’t reality most of the time. Things come up and the schedule gets shifted.
On the days that you can’t have your perfect morning routine, I wanted to take time with this bonus episode to share some of the things you can do to help get your day going right including:
Scheduling your day beforehand
Laying out what your need
Taking action
Dumping perfection
If you feel like your mornings are just hectic and stressful and you’re feeling discouraged that you’re not getting everything you need from your start to your day, be sure to join me on this week’s episode!
