Why a Morning Routine is so Important


I’m sure you’ve heard the idea of a morning routine. Many people, including myself now, talk about how important morning routines can be. 

Morning routines don’t have to be an hour long, they can be as long or as short as you would like them to be. The idea is for you to start out your day feeling your best so that the rest of your day falls in line with this feeling.

Some people enjoy meditating, journaling, reading or moving in the morning. What you do in your morning routine, will also align with your overall goals.

For example, if you want to start your day and continue your day with less anxiety and more peace you might try meditating or journaling.

If you want to move more you might try yoga or mobility in the morning.

Personally, I like to journal, read, meditate and move in the morning. Do I do every single one of these every day? Nope. It depends on how much time I have, how I feel and what my body needs.

The important part is that I have time cut out for myself in the morning to do whatever I feel like I need to do. 

If you don’t have a current morning routine but would like to have one, start with one thing to do in the morning. Pick one activity that you think will be beneficial and find at least five minutes to do it in the morning.

For example, if you’d like to start meditating in the morning carve out a few minutes and focus on your breath. Apps can be also helpful especially for guided meditations. 

Plan out exactly where and when you will do this meditation. That would look like “I am going to meditate for five minutes at 7o’clock in the morning, 3 days this week, sitting on the couch”. 

Once you’ve completed three days, you can increase your goal to four or five days.

Once you’ve mastered that is a habit, you can add a new activity to your morning routine.

Morning routines can be really helpful for us to be in control of our day and mindset. Creating your own doesn’t have to be hard. As always, start slow then add!

I’M ALISSA!

I help women who have also been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis make specific and personalized diet, lifestyle & subconscious changes so that they can begin to heal their body, reduce disease symptoms, and return to a life they love.hey there,

follow along on Instagram:

I get it..

It seems like it would be good.

Because others around you are taken care of..
Because others around you feel good..
Because others around you are happy..

But what about you??

In reality, that’s just making it harder for you to help yourself heal and probs making your MS symptoms worse.

I’ve worked with so many people with MS and autoimmune disease… 1 thing (among many) that they all have in common is a habit of putting others before themselves, saying yes way too much and forgetting about what they want themselves.

Feel a little called out?
Then my course Embodied Resilience is for you.

This is a course all about managing + improving your stress tolerance- since stress is the number 1 trigger of symptom flares and relapses

And- it’s on sale for Black Friday!!
Comment SALE below and I’ll send you the link!!

✨Moving your body✨

Notice I didn’t say exercise, although yes that also helps.

Stress hormones can get stuck in our bodies, our cells, our muscle tissue for various reasons.

Making it super easy for us to carry stress around with us- which shows up often as:

Pain
Tension
Trouble breathing
Difficulty with balance

It’s no coincidence that these are often prominent MS symptoms too. Sometimes it’s hard to tell where effects of MS end and effects of stress begin.

Being able to offload accumulated stress is key to being able to improve MS symptoms.

My course Embodied Resilience shows you exactly how to do this, and it’s gonna be on sale for Black Friday.

I’ve seen myself and tons of clients through behavior change to help improve their MS + autoimmune disease symptoms.

There are SO MANY things that can help us.

But the one I’ve seen move the needle the most?

Working on your mindset and stress management tools.

We can change our diet
Change how we move 
Change the products we’re using
Change the supplements we take..

But if we’re still in the high stress state that most of us are in.. all those will only go so far.

Stress is my biggest symptom trigger, and 99% of my clients feel the same.

My biggest course sale is coming Black Friday, included is my course Embodied Resilience, all about learning how to actually manage stress- so you’re not constantly battling MS flares too.

My email list is gonna get first dibs..

I think 90% of my clients have talked about already feeling the shift to Fall and Winter hardddd.

They are worried about seasonal depression coming back with a vengeance, feeling sad summer is gone and so many other things.

I know when so many feel the same way, you might too.
I know I feel this way too.

I’m working with them to put habits in place NOW that will support them through the winter months.

Here are 2 small shifts we talked about this week:

1. Get sunlight into your eyeballs as soon as you can in the morning.☀️☀️

Ideally this is outside, there will be many science bro’s out there telling you that anything else “doesn’t count” but I say that’s BS.
Yes, the sunlight will have a greater impact if you’re viewing outside, but even if you’re behind a window it will do something.

2. Move your body!! 💃🏃‍♀️

The change in seasons to colder weather makes it super easy to hibernate and move wayyy less than we were in the summer.
I know I’ve been guilty of that this week and it’s showing in my sleep.
But moving our bodies can be so helpful for regulating so many things in our bodies.
Ideally you’re moving in the morning, but again- any time of day will do. 

These are 2 small shifts that can make it easier for your body to transition to, and live with the Winter months.

Let’s crowdsource… what else helps you in winter?? 
I know there are many other things that can!!
