Millennial Busy Working Moms: How to Create a Morning Routine to Set the Tone for Your Day

 A good morning routine can help you start your day off on the right foot, feel more productive, and reduce stress. But when you're juggling work, family, and all the other demands of modern life, it can be hard to find the time to create a morning routine.

As a busy mom of four children. Working full-time and always on the go, I often found myself feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and not sure how to find time for myself.

One day, I decided to try creating a morning routine. I started by waking up 30 minutes earlier than usual. I used this time to meditate, drink a cup of coffee, and read and journal. I also started making a breakfast smoothie instead of grabbing something on the go.

I found that my morning routine helped me to feel more relaxed and focused. I was able to start my day off on the right foot and was better able to handle the stress of my busy life.

I am now a strong advocate for morning routines. I believe that everyone, regardless of their lifestyle, can benefit from having a set time each day to relax, reflect, and prepare for the day ahead.

If you're a millennial working mom who's struggling to create a morning routine, don't worry. You're not alone. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

1. Start small. Don't try to overhaul your entire morning routine all at once. Start by adding one or two small changes, and then gradually add more as you get used to it.

2. Find a time that works for you. Some people are morning larks, while others are night owls. Find a time of day when you're most likely to be alert and energetic, and schedule your morning routine for that time.

3. Make it realistic. Don't try to pack too much into your morning routine. Aim for a routine that's doable and sustainable.

4. Be flexible. Things happen, and your morning routine may not always go according to plan. Be flexible and don't beat yourself up if you have to skip a day or two.

5. Make it enjoyable. Your morning routine should be something you look forward to, not dread. Choose activities that you enjoy and that will help you start your day off on the right foot.

Here are a few ideas for morning routines that you might find helpful:

• Wake up early and enjoy breakfast. This gives you time to relax, eat a healthy breakfast, and check your emails and social media before the day gets too busy.

• Go for a walk or do some light exercise. Exercise is a great way to start your day and boost your energy levels.

• Meditate or do some yoga. Meditation and yoga can help you relax, reduce stress, and improve your focus.

• Read a book or listen to a podcast. This is a great way to start your day with some inspiration and learning.

• Spend time with your kids. This is a great way to connect with your kids and start your day off on a positive note.

No matter what your morning routine looks like, make sure it's something that works for you and that helps you set the tone for your day. A good morning routine can make a big difference in your productivity, your mood, and your overall well-being.
