Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
howtgrel Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kaylee, and this is
your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,
a new mindset, and another day for you to become
the hawtgral energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
Happy Wednesday, Welcome back to another episode. If you're new
to the podcast, welcome, Thank you so much for joining.
I feel like we always get a few new faces
to the podcast because this podcast is obviously a lot
about healthy lifestyle, trying to become the best version of ourself,
and obviously being in the new year and being in January,
I'm sure everybody's feeling that motivation of goal setting, wanting
to become obviously the best version of ourself. All that. So,
if you're new, welcome to the podcast. I'm so happy
that you're here. In today's episode, as you can see
the title, we're going to be talking about routines and
how you can become a routine girl for twenty twenty six.
I really wanted to chat about this episode this week,
specifically just because we are in the most motivational time
right it's the new year. Obviously we all have goals
for ourselves, and I know having a routine is not
easy for everybody, and building a routine for yourself is
not easy, and I know there's some people that feel
like they've failed or some people that don't really know
where to start. So I figured I would start giving
some tips on how to create a routine for yourself,
along with some habits that you can do in the
morning or at night, to kind of just get some
inspiration of how you can kind of start off your
year with establishing a routine for yourself. And figured I
would just give some inspiration for anyone that's looking to
start a routine. Before we get into today's episode, I
always kind of do a little recap of things that
are happening in my life just so I can build
a bit more of a personal connection. I always try
and only do it for like five to ten minutes,
just because I love chatting with you guys, and I
love all so like getting your DMS when you guys
give me feedback or anything, or just like answering any
questions that I talk about here on the podcast. But
I always do like five to ten minutes. It's just
kind of like personal and then we always talk about
the episode obviously for like twenty to thirty minutes, So
if you want to skip past this part, you're more
than welcome to. But I always like to give a
little update. So what's going on right now in my
life back injury. Let's talk about that for a second,
because I actually had a few of you message me,
and I feel really really grateful that some of you
are also dealing with an injury or gave me some
tips on how I should address my injury. Okay, so
for starters, I had been going to a physiotherapist. I've
been going now for three months. In the beginning, the
injury was not that bad. I feel like it was
like the beginning stages of it. And you know, she
didn't want me to completely cut out my workouts or
my routine because my physio believes that you should be
able to continue doing something as long as like you're
doing your stretches and like obviously like getting the treatment
that you need while continuing your day to day workouts.
So that was like my physio's suggestion. That was all
before the holidays, and then I don't know what happened.
I honestly just think it may have just gotten worse
from obviously just kind of like overdoing it, or me
just like not listening to my body, whatever the case
may be. I could also have been like the way
I was sleeping on my back. Because it is a
back injury. I do think it's very sensitive and plays
a huge factor in like any upper body workouts, any
full body workouts, Like it's just one of those things
where you think it's not a big impact, but it
is on your body. And so this week my physiotherapist
did unfortunately give me some bad news about my back
and has told me to stop all my workouts completely
for four weeks. The only kind of workout I can
do is a lower body workout or you know, cardio
or yoga classes. So this is very difficult for me
to process, obviously, because if you guys have been listening
for a while, you guys know that I am a
huge workout person. I love to work out. It's like
my form of therapy kind of helps my mental health.
It just feel good when I start my day off
with going to a workout class. And so it's only
been three days and obviously it's fine. I'm trying to
find structuring a routine in a different way. And that's
kind of also why i wanted to talk about routines,
because I'm having to adjust my routine to accommodate an
injury that I'm currently going through. But this is just
kind of the reality, like people have to adjust the
routine when they get a new job, or people have
to adjust the routine when they get pregnant or whatever. Right,
so this is obviously a very normal thing, and I'm
obviously like fine with it. It just sucks because obviously
not what I wanted to start my year off. Also
as well, because I feel like January also people are
all in the mindset of like wanting to work out
and you know, be consistent with the routine and all that,
and I've kind of had to do the opposite where
it's like, yeah, just kidding, your body's telling you to
slow down and actually not push yourself. So I have
decided to only do a yoga class and one to
two booty classes a week. So I'm going to start
doing a booty class at Reforma Palae once a week.
I'm going to do a workout at home, which is
strength training for lower body. So as of right now,
my structured workout schedule is going to be a booty
class at reform of pilates, and then I'm going to
do one at home workout which is strength training for
my lower body, and then one yoga class a week.
I feel like yoga might be good just for stretching.
It's also a heated workout, not heated workouts, sorry, heated
yoga class, so I feel like that will be really
good as well. So three times a week, that is it. However,
my physiotherapist did say that I could continue walking and
using my vibration plate every single day, so that's kind
of been my structure in my routine of waking up
every single morning doing ten minutes on my vibration plate
and then I walk on my walking pad for forty
five minutes to an hour and I've been loving it.
And then I spend like twenty five minutes doing all
my back stretches. So obviously my physiotherapist gave me a
bunch of stretches just to do and yeah, so that's
kind of been like my structured routine as of right now.
And then trying to work out ish doing lower body
three times a week. But I just wanted to share
that update because if anyone's going through an injury, I
feel you. I get you. It's not easy, and just
kind of felt the need to share about update with
you guys since I kind of brought it up last week.
And then my house. Obviously, my house has been a
huge fun project that we're working on. If you guys
didn't know, my husband and I are building a new house,
which is very exciting and something that we're very proud of,
and we move in the summer. But it's been very
hard to like, obviously make the podcast a priority and
like wanting to edit things for work when I have
to make decisions for the house by like certain deadlines.
So that's been consuming my time a lot lately. But
I love house stuff obviously, as you guys know, I
do really love the design aspect. It's so fun. But
obviously I love my job as well, so it's very
hard to like balance both. But I feel like I've
been a little over work these past few weeks. But
that's okay. Anyways, I know this is very temporary and
that it should be fun obviously designing a house, and
it is. It is so fun, but it gets to
a certain point where like it just gets too much.
I don't know how to explain it, but like, we've
been designing this house for almost three months now, and
at this point, I'm just like, Okay, I just want
to pay for whatever the upgrade is. I don't care.
I just want it, Like you know what I mean.
I'm sure if you guys have done a new build
or have designed a house, I'm sure you guys understand
the process of just like I don't know going through
the process. If you're planning a wedding, it's kind of
the same situation. Like obviously, the whole wedding planning stuff.
It's so fun in the beginning, and then as you
get closer to the date, you're like, okay, this is stressful,
Like I just want it to happen. I'm done with
picking different types of florals or figuring out the budget
or the budget increasing. Like I feel like it's actually
very similar to planning a wedding, because that's how I
felt during my wedding planning process. But anyways, that's probably
the best example I could give for designing a house. Okay,
So for starters, let's talk about a reason why most
people fail with routines, Like what is something that people
struggle with when it comes to building a routine for
themselves and personally. I think the main reason why people
fail their routine is that they either do too much
at once, or copy someone else's routine completely or strictly
rely on motivation like they think, oh, I have the
motivation today, I'm actually going to get up and do something,
when that's not the case at all. We can't just
rely on the odd motivation that we get when we
wake up in the morning. Motivation is all built around needs,
goals and meaning. Needs might be that your body wants
this right, like your body feels like it needs to
do these things in the morning or at night. Or
goals as in there's goals that I obviously want to
reach for myself for this year, or meaning which is
what does it mean to you? So we've talked about
why so much in the podcast of like why do
I do these things right? Like why do I want
to become a routine girl? Why do I want to help?
Why do I want to have a healthy lifestyle? All that,
So that's what you kind of have to think about
when it comes to building these routines for yourself. But
I want to bring up copying someone else's routine because
this one, I think is a very common thing that
people do, thinking that they can do, you know, twenty
five different habits in the morning, like this girl they
saw on TikTok too. And I'll be honest, I'm sure
some people probably copy my routine, and I'm gonna be honest,
my routine is not realistic for someone who works a
full time job or is in school full time. Like
I probably spend two to three hours of my morning
routine doing those little things that I love, but not
everybody has the luxury of doing that, and I realize
that right So for me, the whole point of talking
about building a routine for yourself is that everybody has
to create a routine based off of their lifestyle, based
off of their schedule. So everything that I talk about
in this episode today, I really just want it to
be some inspiration for you of maybe some little things
that you can add on to your current routine and
build one for yourself. It's not about saying, hey, you
need to do all these things before you start your workday.
That's not what this episode's about at all. This episode
is about here or little ideas that you can do
in the morning to create that structure and that routine
feeling that you're missing, and to also just kind of
start your day off in a productive way that you
feel good going into your day. So that's kind of
the whole goal of what we're talking about today. I
also wanted to purposely talk about this episode today because
with the new year, I feel like it can be
very overwhelming. I think we write out all these goals
for ourselves, which is exciting and motivational, but I also
think that having all these goals makes us feel like
we have this pressure of needing to do everything at
once or needing to be perfect at doing all these things,
when that's just not the case at all. I think
we need to take these goals as something that we're
working towards throughout the entire year. We're not saying this
needs to be perfected by the fourth week of January.
We're saying that, hey, at least, if I can do,
you know, four out of the five things that I
wanted to do for myself this year, like within the
next twelve months, I'm going to be proud of myself.
We're actually to that, So we need to kind of
have that mindset where we don't want to feel overwhelmed.
We don't want to feel like everything needs to be
done at once, because that's what's going to create burnout,
that's what's going to create failure, and we don't want that.
We want to feel successful. We want to feel like
we're actually creating a routine for ourself, we're feeling consistent.
So that's where the first step kind of comes into play,
about reframing our mindset around a routine for ourselves. So
we aren't going to become a new person overnight. That's
kind of like what I was getting to there is
that it's not something that's just going to happen the
next day like that, like, oh yeah, I'm going to
be a full morning routine girl, I'm going to have
like twenty steps in my routine, blah blah blah. Like
that is not what's going to happen. It's all about
just creating a consistent bunch of habits into your routine slowly.
It's a slow building process of creating that routine for yourself.
It's not something that's going to happen overnight. So the
benefit to having a routine for me personally is I
like it because it structures out my days and it
works for me even on days where I feel like
I might like motivation or I might have low energy.
As someone who works for themselves, I desperately needed structure.
So when I quit my corporate job and I started
to do this full time, I kept doing my routine.
But if I didn't have that, there would have been
such a lack of structure, and I definitely think I
would have struggled mentally if I didn't have that routine
for myself in the morning. Because I don't have a boss.
I am my own boss. So in a traditional job,
someone would be there to tell you, Okay, this is
your start time and end time every single day, this
is what you need to work on, this is when
you can take a break, and this is when your
day is over right. Whereas for me, I have to
do all that myself, right, So I need to figure
out a structure routine that's going to keep me structured
throughout my day and make sure that I don't feel
like things are chaotic or I'm feeling unproductive. You know
what I mean That I constantly have to build a
routine for myself. That essentially requires me to become my
own manager. Like I am my own manager, and I
tell myself when to show up, I tell myself when
I need to start work, and having a routine is
what structures my day to day schedule and gives me
the direction of how my day's going to go. So
that's just kind of an example of someone that works
for themselves or someone that has a boss that tells
them when to start, when to take breaks, whatever the
case may be. But this is why every routine is
different for everybody. Right, So, whether you're the kind of
person where you work a traditional job and you have
a start time that you have to be at, this
is how you build a routine. You build it off
of Okay, well, I start my day at eight am
or nine am. Do I want to wake up an
hour earlier and build this routine that I want for
myself before I start my workday, or do I want
to build a routine after work of doing things that
make me feel good? So I don't ever want to
structure these routines. Is like you need to work out
in the morning and have a calm night. It could
be the complete opposite. You can have a slower, calm morning,
and then do your workout at night or on your
lunch break, whatever the case may be. It's always going
to be different for everybody. But again, I'm just here
to provide some inspiration of how you can kind of
structure out your routine for yourself. So then the next
step would be to build out the person that you
want to become this year. So when you did your
vision board or when you did your goal setting of
the person that you strive to become this year, was
it to become a healthier person and build more healthier
habits or was it to be more of a calmer
person where you're trying to feel less stressed and be
more relaxed. Like, there's two different types of people, right.
It could be slow start, I'm doing too much, or
it could be I'm not doing enough. I feel like
I need to do more, I need to work on myself,
I need to become the healthier version of myself. All that.
So that's the starting point, who is the person that
you want to become this year? And then it's about
building the routine. So I want to call this the
four week routine program where you're basically going to choose
one habit out of a bunch of habits that I'm
going to list out for you guys every single week.
So for week one, let's just say you decide to
pick I want to make my bed every single day
for this first week. Okay, you're gonna wake up every
single morning, You're gonna make your bed. That is it.
No other habit. That's how we're starting off. You are
just making your bed every single day for seven days,
and then oh, week two comes around. Okay, what else
do I want to do in my routine? What else
is something that I wanted to do for myself this year? Okay?
I wanted to be a girl that spends you know,
ten to fifteen minutes journaling and creating a to do
list for myself. Okay, if you felt like you were
really consistent on making a bed for the last seven days,
then for the following week, you're going to continue making
your bed every single morning, and then you're going to
spend ten to fifteen minutes journaling and doing it to
do list for the next seven days. Why I like
doing the same thing for seven days straight is it
gives you a sense of how long does it take me?
To do this one habit every single morning, and do
I actually like doing this habit? Does it make me
feel good? Do I like waking up doing it every
single morning? You have to ask yourself those two things,
because if it takes you an hour to do that
one habit and you feel like it's drained your entire day,
then that's not for you. We don't want to waste
our time just doing one thing. I feel like seven
days just gives you a good idea if it's actually
working for you or not, and if you were actually
consistent with it or not. Like some people might have
a goal where it's like, oh, I want to walk
every single day for thirty minutes. Well let's say you
wake up thirty minutes earlier, you do that walk for
thirty minutes, and that's all you can do, and you
were really like, oh I really wanted to walk and
journal and make my bed and you know, meditate for
ten minutes. Then you need to reframe that routine because
you only have so much time in the morning to
do those things. So maybe instead of a thirty minute walk,
you do a fifteen to twenty minute walk, and then
with that extra time you can make your bed, and
maybe moving your journaling session to your nighttime routine versus
your morning routine. Like if you don't have time to
do it because you wanted to make walking your main
priority this year, then move your journaling to your night routine.
So just kind of like making adjustments where you need
to kind of figure out what's working, what's not. How
long does it take me to do these certain things.
If I want to do a workout class in the morning,
maybe that's all I can do, and then any other
habit that I want to do, I can do as
part of my night routine. So I find the first
four weeks of just kind of like trying new things,
trying things out, or trying to do something consistently. I
just feel like the first seven days of starting a
habit just helps you understand if it's working or not,
and then you can kind of build off from there. Right,
And there's always going to be times where you're going
to make adjustments and things that you might need to
change for yourself. As for me right, like, I'm making
an adjustment to my routine because I can't go to
workout classes, so I'm just making it a priority to
walk an hour every single day and go on my
vibration plate, like doing what I can and still choosing
myself and still doing things that bring me joy and
bring me structure in my routine without just saying, oh, well,
I injured my back, so I'm just going to do nothing, nothing,
and that's gonna be my routine. Like, that's not the
mindset that we want. We want to reframe. How can
we still have a structured routine even with an injury,
or even with a corporate job, or with even a
school schedule that might be really busy. There's always things
that we can do and create structure for ourselves to
really start off our day in the right way. So
it's really important to figure out what habits you like,
what habits you don't like, because I feel like even
creating a workout routine for yourself, right, like going to
a workout class that you think you might love and
then you do it for seven days and realize I
actually hate this and I don't enjoy it. Okay, Well,
then the following week you're going to try something different.
You're going to try and go to a strength workout
class versus a pilates class because you didn't like the
plates class, So you want to try doing strength workouts
and then oh, you realize, oh, I actually really like this.
Then you think, okay, what's achievable for me? Can I
do this two to three times a week? Maybe it's
not something you do every single morning. Maybe you kind
of figure out, Okay, Monday, Wednesdays and friend, I'm going
to do a strength workout at this gym, and then
Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'm going to have more of a
slower morning and focus on maybe just walking or doing
stretching at home, whatever the case may be. So really,
just making adjustments and figuring out what works for you
is so so crucial, and that's what's going to build
that consistent routine for yourself where you're going to actually
want to show up, You're gonna feel productive, You're gonna
want to do those things, and guess what, it's not
going to rely on motivation. It's going to rely on
you wanting to show up for yourself and doing those
little things that make you feel good. It's all about
how it makes you feel. And for me, I feel
like I'm consistent with my routine because I love those
things that I do in the morning and it makes
me feel good. So I'm going to give you guys
an example of things that you could do in your
morning and night routine. And again, these are just examples.
These are not things that you have to do. I
just want to give you, guys some inspiration for the
ideal routine for someone that to start some healthy habits
for themselves, or things that might calm you down that
are looking for more of a slower morning or slower
night and you just needed some inspiration for ideas of
what you can do to start off your day or
end off your day. So I'm going to talk about
a morning routine, and again I'll talk about a slower
morning routine and then a more like motivational kind of
like workout morning. So the first thing that I think
everybody can do, whether it's a slower morning or fast
paced morning, is make your bed every single day. This
is an instant when, in my opinion, Mel Robbins always
says on our podcast like it literally sets yourself up
for success every single day. Like when you actually make
your bed, you feel like you've accomplished something. And I
don't know, I find it makes me feel good knowing
that my room is like all nice and my bedding's
all folded, and I feel really good about leaving my
room knowing that it's clean, it's organized. Kind of just
makes me feel good going into my day without even
doing anything yet except making my bed. I also love
to change out of my pjs immediately because I find
putting on a workout set feels very motivational. And it
might be just something in my head, but it creates
that like instant boost of motivation of wanting to be productive.
When I'm in my pjs, I want to be cozy.
I want to have like a slow morning, like I'm
in my pages on the weekend, Like I don't push
myself to put a work as it on, Like I
like my weekends to be slow, So I purposely keep
my pajamas on. So if you're that kind of person
where you want to have more of a slower morning,
keep your pjs on, have more of a slower morning,
and then get changed into your work clothes to the day,
your school clothes to the day after that. So I
personally put on workout clothes because I like to start
my day off with some movement. So I like to
work out or walk or use my vibration plate. Again,
those are just ideas, but if you're the kind of
person that wants to have a bit more of a
slower morning, maybe you can stretch for ten minutes, or
you could also walk for ten to fifteen minutes or
twenty to thirty minutes, whatever works for you. Another thing
I make a non negotiable in the morning is filling
up my water. That way, I know that I'm getting
my hydration in for the day, because hydration obviously is
super key for ourself and yeah, we just obviously need
to stay hydrated throughout the day. So I feel like
if I do it as soon as I wake up,
it holds myself accountable to drinking that entire water bottle
throughout the day. And then I find this is perfect
for anyone that wants a slow morning or for someone
that wants a fast paced morning. Is planning out your
day with like a little to do list or with
a planner. I find planning out my day just makes
it so much easier going into my day knowing that
I have something all written down that I can check
off of, but also just allows yourself to have like
mini goals throughout the day. I always talk about doing
to do list and how it creates structure for your routine.
It creates structure for your day. It takes like maybe
seven minutes to do, and I think everybody has time
to plan out their day. And again, maybe if you
don't have time to do it the morning of, you
could also do it the night before. So writing a
little to do list of everything that you want to
get done throughout the day for the next day. That way,
when you wake up you can look at your planner
and be like, yep, I got to do this this morning,
got to get this done, all that and then making
yourself a healthy breakfast, having your coffee and that's kind
of like my ideal like morning of things that I
would want to do. But again, these are not all
things that you need to do. These are just ideas
of what you can add to your current routine that
you actually have time to do that makes you feel
like you have some type of structure before you start
your work day or your school day or your day
in general. Also, forgot to mention that if you're the
kind of person that doesn't want to work out in
the morning and wants more of a slow pace morning,
you could spend twenty minutes of reading instead of spending
twenty minutes of doing a workout, or you could do
ten minutes of meditation. So those are kind of like
slower morning vibes of like what you can do versus
like doing an intense workout for like thirty minutes or
walking or vibration plate, whatever the case may be. So
that's how I would like kind of describe the perfect
habits to do when looking for more of a slow
pace morning or again finding time to do workouts or
walking or using a vibration plate in your morning as
part of a morning habit. Then for your evening routine,
if you're the kind of person that loves to work
out in the evening, I always say working out right
after work or right after school is nice because you
kind of get out of the way and then you
can just focus on your nightly habits right after that.
So if you prefer to work out in the evening,
I would start your day off with doing your evening workout,
getting that over with, then coming home and making yourself
a home cooked meal, because we all agree that twenty
twenty six is the year where we're all doing home
cooked meals. We're making ourselves healthy recipes that we find
on TikTok or Pinterests or wherever you find your inspiration
for healthy meals. So doing that, then you're going to
make a tea. I find tea so calming, Like I
instantly drink a cup of my peppermint tea and I
instantly feel more calm, I feel less stressed. I just
feel like it's like the perfect thing to and wined
with and it just kind of like calms me down.
And then after my teeth, I usually like to do
some light stretching, So I'll spend like ten minutes doing
stretching just to make sure that my muscles are good,
especially because I'm a very active person and obviously right
now with my back injury, I'm trying to make stretching
a big priority. And even if you don't have an injury,
I still recommend stretching because you don't want to lead
to an injury like me. But if you did a
workout that day, it's so important to stretch your muscles
and again spending five to ten minutes. Everyone can spend
five to ten minutes doing it, Like let's get off
our phones and not scroll for ten minutes let's actually
stretch and be off our phones for ten minutes instead.
So I'm a victim to that and I'm trying to
be better at it, and that's one of my goals
for twenty twenty six is to be better at taking
more time to stretch. So that's something that you could
include into your evening routine. This one is really key
if you do work a job that has an early
start time. Is prepping your clothes, your gym clothes, or
your meals the night before. I find this is a
huge one to set yourself up for success the next day.
That way, you don't have to stress about prepping your
lunch for the day or figuring out what you're gonna
wear or packing your bag. Like if you're the kind
of person that likes go to the gym early before
they start their work day, if you have your clothes
out already and you know exactly what you're gonna wear,
and then have your gym bag all prepped with everything
that you need, you have already set yourself up for
success and you're ready to take on your routine throughout
the morning. So prepping close the night before is a
game changer. I actually do this especially when I have
an early morning plates class, I will always usually pick
out my outfit the night before, literally put it on
my dresser. That way, when I wake up, I can
literally put on my workout outfit. I know exactly what
I'm wearing. It saves me like five to ten minutes
of my morning trying to figure out what I'm gonna
wear for the day. I already know what I'm wearing,
so it just like allows myself to do something else
first worrying about ten minutes of that time of finding
an outfit, you know what I mean. So doing things
at night that you can prep for the night before
before you start your morning off is a game changer
and also just a huge time saver. As I said
in the morning routine, if you feel like you don't
have time to do it to do list in the morning,
do it the night before. So brain dump everything, whether
it's on your notes and your phone, or if you
have a planner, write everything out that you want to
do the next day. I find I've been honestly writing
my to do list more at night than the morning,
not because I don't have the time in the morning.
It's more so I like to go to bed knowing
everything that I have to do the next day. Also,
I like to make sure that I don't forget, so
if I have appointments or meetings that it's like, Okay,
I got to make sure that I attend my meeting
at eleven am, so I write it in my to
do list of the day. That way, it's like, Okay,
I have a workout class at seven, I'm gonna shower
and eat breakfast at nine, and then oh, I have
a meeting at eleven am that I have to attend,
and then oh, I got to film a video or
edit the podcast, wherever the case may be. I just
find doing it the night before helps me out, and
then I can kind of just like reference it in
the morning, knowing that my day is fully structured out
and I don't have to worry about it. But it
really just patents. Some days I do it the night before,
sometimes I do in the morning. It just kind of
depends on the day, but sometimes I do find it
a great way to kind of de stress. That way,
you know everything that's happening the following day. I think
we can all agree that we're probably trying to scroll
less on our phone, so actually putting down our phone
for thirty minutes before bed and either reading or just
doing something that's not related to our cell phones is
so important for this year. I know I'm trying to
work on that, and I think that's something that everybody
could probably work on. And another thing I've been doing
is I actually do my meditation at night ten minutes
before I actually go to bed. I find this calms
my body down so much, and I don't know, I
just like like to focus on my deep breathing before
I head to bed. Again, it's a great way to
kind of relieve stress, relieve any tension that your body's feeling.
And yeah, so I really love a slow night routine.
That's just me personally. But again, if you're the kind
of person that loves a slow morning, doing a meditation
in the morning is also really great. But obviously meditation
is just so great for you know, working on our
breathing techniques, obviously destressing and just really calming our bodies down.
And I just personally love doing it before I head
to bed. And then for me to be a early
morning riser and to actually hold myself accountable for waking
up early, I do go to bed at the same
time every night. I go to bed at nine thirty
every single night. Sometimes nine, yeah, sometimes nine, but usually
nine thirty is like my happy medium. It used to
be ten, and I don't know, I just felt like
lately I wanted to get an extra thirty minutes asleep
because sleep is also something I've been working on this year,
is trying to have longer sleeps because I feel like,
I don't know, I just sometimes I feel like I
have like on and off sleep patterns, which I think
is obviously very normal, but I'm trying to just really
work on having longer RESTful sleep. So I'm trying to
go to bed a little bit earlier, and right now
nine thirty has been like my perfect timing to go
to bed at, which literally sounds so crazy to say
that out loud, because I think people are gonna think
I'm crazy for going to bed at nine thirty, because
it's like, how are you tired? But I don't know.
I am, like, I'm starting to be tired at nine thirty,
And I think it's because when you consistently go to
bed at the same time, and you consistently kind of
like have this unwind routine, your body naturally just like
knows when to fall asleep. I don't know, I don't
know if that makes sense. I think it makes sense,
but naturally, I just feel like I start to get
tired at that time, and that's I think because I've
just been consistent with going to bed at the same time.
So that is some habits that I would recommend doing
if you're someone that's looking to build themselves a evening routine. Again,
these are not all things that you have to do.
These are just things that you can reference if you're
looking for inspiration to create a routine for yourself. But
