Time is always a limiting factor. But these can be as simple as the following brief routine
3 sets of 25-50 jumping jacks or 15 pushups and 15 sit ups (2 minutes)
5 deep, nasal belly breaths with 5 second long inhalation and exhalation (1 minute)
Cold shower (0 additional minutes)
Drinking 2 glasses of lukewarm water Visualizing what will make your day a success (30 seconds)
Appreciating one thing and writing it down in your journal (1 minute)
No phone use will actually save you time!
The routine above takes less than 15 minutes. Even if we ignore the time we saved from not checking our phone, it is easy for us to find reasons why we cannot do this. Let's do a quick exercise before we give up here... Using simple math we see that 5 minutes makes up 0.34% of the time in our day. Think about that for a moment... We make time to buy lottery tickets with little odds of winning, so why can't we invest time in ourselves that is guaranteed to help us feel better?
There are lots of resources to help us along this journey. These include blogs, apps, magazines, and most importantly our peer group. If you are interested in learning more about setting up a morning routine checkout this podcast:
or get the book 'Millionaire Morning - by Lewis Howes.
There are so many positive things out there in the world, sometimes we just need to remind ourselves to open our eyes so we can see them.

Although covid19 has impacted everyone in different ways - it has touched literally every facet of our life. It has changed the way we work, gut checked the importance we place on our health, influenced our finances, and prevented us from seeing our loved ones for weeks. Throughout the entire pandemic, our staff has been on the front lines putting their best foot forward to help our local communities.
Times like this highlight how balanced or unbalanced we are mentally, physically, and spiritually. Everyone has ups and downs in their life, but the establishment of a daily routine provides structure to our life. This structure reinforces the power that good habits can have in our lives. For example, something as simple as making your bed starts some positive momentum in your day. It is easier to build momentum with small wins rather than starting from a stationary position. Science backs up this momentum as can be explained from the #1 New York Times bestselling book called "Make your Bed".
The key components to establishing a daily routine include the following: Light exercise that gets your heart rate going (physical)
Breathing exercise or meditation (spiritual)
Cold shower (physical)
Hydration (physical)
Visualizing 1-2 important things you want to accomplish today (mental) Thinking of one thing you are grateful for (spiritual)
No phone use for first 30minutes of the day (mental)
