Midlife Morning Routines - Ep. 34

Send us a text

 Do you have a morning routine?   Ellen and Tish discuss the power of a morning routine at midlife - and share what they each do most mornings.  Ellen and Tish found that they were spending valuable morning time scrolling on their phones - and their morning routines were just not cutting it. They polled the Tribe and have some interesting insights into setting intentions in the morning and what science has to say about why you should have one. They note that most successful people have morning routines and they credit it to starting their day out in the most productive way.

Things we talked about in this episode: belly dancing, Lululemon socks, Mel Robbins High Five,  Panda Planner, NYT mini crossword, Wordle, Spelling Bee, morning positivity, and easily repeatable routines that start your day off in a positive way.  Start off slow with one or two things and then build to have 4 to 5 parts to your morning routine.
