Speaker 1: Hey Loves, Welcome back to that girl energy morning routine affirmations,
your daily dose of motivation and magic to kickstart your day.
I'm your host, Jessica Lane, and let me tell you
we're diving into something super powerful today, self compassion in
your morning routine. Ever wake up feeling like you already
have a million things on your plate, like the world
is demanding so much from you before you even sip
your coffee. You know that feeling when you're just trying
to get through your mourning and every little thing feels overwhelming. Well,
I'm here to tell you that there's a better way.
We're talking about ditching the inner critic and embracing self
kindness right from the moment your feet hit the floor.
This isn't about being overly soft on yourself or ignoring challenges.
It's about treating yourself with the same care and understanding
you would offer a dear friend. Trust me, this shift
in mindset can completely change your day. It's like putting
on your favorite cozy sweater. It instantly makes everything feel
a little bit warmer and brighter. Now, let's dive into
five key takeaways that are going to make self compassion
your morning MVP. First up, awareness is key. Before you
even think about checking emails or making it to do list,
take a moment to tune in. Notice how you're feeling
physically and emotionally. Are you tense, anxious, maybe just a
little bit blah, whatever it is, Acknowledge those feelings without judgment.
This is your chance to create space for self acceptance,
not negativity. Remember there's no shame in feeling what you feel. Next,
ditch the negative self talk. We all have that inner
critic lurking in the shadows, whispering doubts and insecurities. But
here's the thing. Those voices aren't always accurate or helpful.
Instead of feeding them with more negativity, challenge those thoughts
with kindness. Replace I can't do this with This might
be challenging, but I'm capable. Remember your way stronger than
you think. Third, practice gratitude. It's so easy to get
caught up in the whirlwind of daily life and forget
all the good things. But trust me, a little gratitude
can go a long way. Take a few moments to
appreciate the small things. A warm cup of coffee, the
sunshine streaming through your window, or even just the fact
that you woke up feeling alive. These tiny moments of
appreciation can shift your entire perspective and set a positive
tone for the day forth. Be gentle with yourself. This
is especially important when you make mistakes, because, let's be real,
we all stumble sometimes. Instead of beating yourself up over it,
treat yourself with the same compassion you would offer a
loved one who is struggling. Remember setbacks their opportunities to
learn and grow, and finally, make time for self care.
This isn't just about bubble bads and face masks, although
those are awesome. It's about anything that nourishes your mind, body,
and soul. Whether it's reading a good book, taking a
walk in nature, or simply enjoying a few moments of
quiet reflection. Make time for activities that bring you joy
and recharge your batteries. Okay, let me paint you a picture.
Imagine you wake up feeling stressed about an upcoming deadline.
Instead of immediately jumping into work mode, you take five
deep breaths. Acknowledging the tension in your body, you whisper
to yourself, It's okay to feel this way. I'm capable
of handling this you then spend a few minutes practicing
gratitude for your cozy bed, a delicious breakfast waiting for you,
and the opportunity to learn and grow throughout the day.
Then you head into your work with a clearer mind
and a more positive attitude. Boom. That's the power of
self compassion in action. So remember, Loves, your morning routine
sets the tone for your entire day. Start it off
right by being kind to yourself, Embrace those imperfections, celebrate
your strengths, and nurture your way being. You got this, now,
let's wrap things up. The key takeaways are simple awareness.
