00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,759
Speaker 1: Hey, beautiful souls, it's your girl, Jessica Laine here and

2
00:00:03,839 --> 00:00:08,800
welcome back to that girl energy morning routine affirmations. Listen.

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,679
I know, being a stay at home parent is a marathon,

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:17,239
not a sprint. It's a beautiful, chaotic, messy, love filled adventure.

5
00:00:17,519 --> 00:00:21,559
But sometimes, let's be real, those mornings can feel like

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,879
you're running on fumes from the previous day. Ever, wake

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,160
up feeling like you just got hit by a truckload

8
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:31,320
of legos. Yeah, me too. That's why today we're diving

9
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:34,880
deep into mourning routine ideas specifically for amazing stay at

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,719
home parents like you, because guess what, you deserve that meantime,

11
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:42,240
even when your little ones need you at every turn.

12
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:46,359
First things first, let's talk about the magic of establishing

13
00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:50,840
a consistent morning routine. It might sound simple, but trust me,

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,840
it can be your superhero cape for conquering the day.

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,880
Think of it like this, A well structured morning sets

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,520
the tone for your entire day. When you start with

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,439
intention and purpose, everything just flows a little smoother. You know.

18
00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:09,640
Number one, Hydration is key. People, Before you even think

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,640
about reaching for that first cup of coffee, and trust me,

20
00:01:13,079 --> 00:01:15,640
I get it, start your day with a big glass

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,120
of water. It rehydrates you from the inside out after

22
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,000
those long nights and gives you that instant boost of energy.

23
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,439
Plus it helps kick start digestion, which is crucial when

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,439
your little one's stomach might be grumbling before yours even

25
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,760
wakes up. Number two move your body now. I know

26
00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:37,560
what you're thinking, Jessica with a toddler clinging to my leg.

27
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,079
No way, but hear me out. You don't need a

28
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:45,079
fancy gym membership or an hour long workout routine. Even

29
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,439
ten minutes of gentle movement can work wonders. Try some

30
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:51,480
stretches while your little one plays nearby, do a quick

31
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,200
yoga flow in the living room, or even just take

32
00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:57,760
a brisk walk around the block. It gets those endorphins

33
00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:00,280
pumping and sets you up for a more positive day.

34
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:05,599
Number three mindful moments. Even if they're short. We're all busy,

35
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,599
but carving out just a few minutes for quiet reflection

36
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:12,319
can do wonders for your mental well being. Close your eyes,

37
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,599
take a few deep breaths, and focus on the present moment.

38
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:19,319
Think about things you're grateful for, or simply observe the

39
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,280
sounds and sensations around you. It might feel impossible in

40
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:26,639
the chaos of parenting, but trust me, even a minute

41
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,919
of mindfulness can make a huge difference. Number four, fuel

42
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,280
your body with goodness. This doesn't mean a complicated breakfast buffet.

43
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,879
Keep it simple and nutritious. Think oatmeal with fresh berries,

44
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:43,280
a smoothie pact with fruits and veggies, or even just

45
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:46,560
a piece of whole wheat toast with avocado. You don't

46
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:49,919
need to be a culinary genius. Just focus on nourishing

47
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,719
yourself with foods that make you feel good, both physically

48
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,199
and mentally. And finally, number five, don't forget the affirmation magic.

49
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:01,719
Start your day with a positive statement that resonates with you.

50
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,159
Look in the mirror and say things like I am capable,

51
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:08,159
I am strong, or today is going to be an

52
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:12,560
amazing day. Remember words have power, and starting your day

53
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:17,039
with positivity can set the stage for success and happiness. Okay,

54
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,479
let me share a real life scenario with you. Picture this. Sarah,

55
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:24,280
a busy stay at home mom of two, is struggling

56
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,800
with mornings between getting her kids dressed, making breakfast, packing lunches,

57
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,680
and trying to squeeze in a few minutes of me time.

58
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,039
She feels like she's constantly running behind. One day, she

59
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:40,439
decides to try implementing some of these morning routine ideas.

60
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,680
She starts with a big glass of water, then is

61
00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:47,759
a quick yoga flow while her kids play with their toys. Next,

62
00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:50,800
she makes herself a healthy smoothie and listens to an

63
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,599
inspiring podcast during breakfast. Finally, she looks in the mirror

64
00:03:55,639 --> 00:03:59,280
and says, today is going to be amazing. Guess what.

65
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,759
Sarah feels more energized, focused, and positive throughout the day.

66
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,199
So there you have it. Remember, creating a morning routine

67
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,000
that works for you takes time and experimentation. Don't be

68
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,520
afraid to try different things until you find what makes

69
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,759
