I would say that I have always been a morning person since out of necessity, I would have to rise before the sun each day to make the drive each day to make the drive to my high school. Yet while the aspect of necessity is not there any longer, early mornings are thankfully sticking with me at Holy Cross.
The importance of a morning routine is crucial to me and I believe that it is what has helped to lead to my early adaptation over the last two weeks at HC.
Below I have put together a list of just a few aspects that I currently have in my morning routine, that way you may be encouraged to start your own and possibly even join me at 5:00 am each morning on the hill.
p.s. the sunrises with coffee in hand here are BREATHTAKING.
- avoid the snooze button and thank God for your day first thing
- drink 20 oz of water
- stretch/workout
- brew coffee or your favorite tea
- call a family member or friend
- journal
- read the bible or a book
- listen to one song to set a positive tone for your day
- make your bed
- shower/wash up
- Pray. Pray. Pray.
Take on each new day with gratitude!
I am praying for you!
