Welcome, lovely souls, to the Glow Up Guide, your go-to space for stepping into your power and shifting your mindset. If you're ready to break through self-doubt and become the best version of yourself, then my girl, you're in the right place. I’m Morgan Bruner, your personal growth bestie and self-improvement coach, and I’m here to help you make mornings magical!
Let's dive straight into it. Tell me, what's the first thing you do when you wake up? Scroll through your social feeds? Hit snooze? Or do you wake up feeling in control? If your morning feels a bit chaotic, you’re not alone. I used to wake up anxious, rushing through my routine, and already feeling behind. But here’s a truth bomb: how you start your morning sets the tone for your entire day, your goals, your relationships, and your life.
Most people falter with their morning routines because they try to mimic what they see online instead of listening to what they need. Here’s the secret: a powerful morning routine isn’t about perfection, but intention. It’s about starting your day with clarity and purpose.
Your brain is in a super sponge-like state when you first wake up. It’s open, unfiltered, and ready to soak up what you give it. This is when you have the power to program your mindset positively. Instead of letting the day spiral from negativity or busyness, anchor yourself intentionally.
Avoid grabbing your phone first thing. Use a sunrise alarm, take a deep breath, and set a positive intention for the day. A mantra like "Today will be amazing because I choose to make it so" can set a beautiful tone.
Whether it's a stretch, yoga, or a little dance, it doesn’t have to be intense. Follow it with a big glass of water, with a dash of lemon for a refreshing boost.
Spend a few minutes journaling, meditating, or affirming. Consider prompts like, "What am I grateful for today?" or "What’s my intention for the day?" Let these moments mold your mindset.
Have a nourishing breakfast and listen to something uplifting—podcasts, audiobooks, whatever makes you feel inspired.
Write down three key tasks that align with the woman you’re becoming. Focus on impact over busyness.
I had this vision of an Instagram-perfect morning routine, waking up at 5 AM, checking off a huge list. But it wasn't sustainable. It didn’t work for me—until I simplified. Now, my morning routine is all about two simple acts: hydrating with lemon water and focusing on skincare. These small changes became grounding rituals that make me look forward to my mornings.
Your perfect routine won’t look like anyone else’s; it will support who you are becoming. So, ask yourself what truly makes you feel good, what you look forward to each morning, and do just that.
Remember, you don't need a perfect morning to own your day. You just need one that's peaceful and supports your transformation. If this post inspired you, share a screenshot and tag me on Instagram at Glow Up Guide Collective to let me know one habit you're adding this week.
