My 5am Routine
5AM mornings aren’t glamorous… but they work for me. ☀️
My secret to not talking myself out of it?
Setting myself up the night before. My workout clothes are already laid out so there’s zero thinking involved when the alarm goes off.
While I’m getting dressed I throw on some morning affirmations on YouTube and start mixing up my little morning potion:
apple cider vinegar + lemon water + blackstrap molasses. Not the tastiest thing on earth, but my body loves it.
Morning fuel today was OxyShred from @ehplabs and the OOTD is from @IUGA Yoga Official (because a cute set definitely helps the motivation).
Today’s workout: 45-minute upper body with @Kristina Girod on @YouTube. Upper body days are my favorite and I absolutely crushed it.
Nothing fancy. Nothing viral.
Just showing up for myself before the sun comes up.
Anyway… have a great day, little biscuit heads. 🥐

Waking up at 5AM might sound tough, and I’ve definitely had my fair share of snooze button battles. But I've found that the key to sticking with it is preparation the night before. When my workout clothes are laid out, it removes any frustration of deciding what to wear when I’m groggy. That little decision saved me more times than I can count. Starting the day with morning affirmations on YouTube has been a game changer for my mindset. It’s almost like setting my internal compass before the day begins, making it easier to push through the temptation to sleep in. I recommend finding affirmations or meditation guides that resonate with you—it creates an intentional start that brightens even the dullest mornings. One of my favorite morning rituals is mixing a health tonic that might not win any taste awards but gives me real benefits: apple cider vinegar, lemon water, and blackstrap molasses. Apple cider vinegar is known for supporting digestion and metabolism, while lemon water helps hydrate and detoxify. Blackstrap molasses adds essential minerals like iron and calcium, making this simple drink a potent start to my day. On workout days, I fuel up with supplements like OxyShred, which help provide clean energy without jitters, perfect for that 45-minute upper body session with Kristina Girod on YouTube, which I highly recommend if you enjoy targeted workouts. Plus, having workout clothes from IUGA Yoga Official that I love wearing adds a boost of confidence and motivation. When you feel good in what you wear, it’s easier to show up for yourself consistently. This routine might seem simple and unremarkable, but consistency is everything. Showing up before the sun rises has helped me build discipline and a stronger connection with my own goals. If you’re considering starting your own 5AM routine, my advice is to prepare the night before, find affirmations or motivation that speak to you, try nourishing morning drinks, and choose enjoyable workouts that suit your tastes. It’s not about perfection—it’s about being there for yourself day after day.
