Do you have a morning routine? What do you do when you first
wake up? And do you go to bed early enough?
In this episode, Claire and Andrew Davies of the New Normal Project talk about the benefits they have experienced by having a morning routine. The early hours of the morning are quiet, with few distractions, and are often a time of great creativity and productivity - especially when others in the house are asleep.
Claire takes us through her perfect morning, and what she spends time doing before the "rest of the day" begins. Meditation and some important tasks are her focus. She really feels like a morning person and goes to bed early to make this work for her.
Andrew talks about how he has had periods over the last few years with a good morning routine which include running, meditation, purpose activities, and journaling. However, when he becomes busy he goes to bed later than he should and the morning routine becomes harder.
This episode is full of good discussion about morning routines and you will gain value whether you are a morning person, a night owl and whether you already have a morning routine or not. Striving to build a better morning routine is clearly a vital component of the New Normal.
