Morning non-negotiables as a college student!

Over the last semester, I have perfected my morning routine to make me feel my best and be the most productive version of myself. Some mornings I have more time than others, but these 4 things are my top priority to ensure I have the best day I can. By simply making my bed, protecting my skin, journaling and getting some time outside, I feel ready to conquer any obstacle that could be thrown at me!

Establishing a productive morning routine is crucial for college students aiming to balance academic responsibilities and personal well-being. Incorporating habits like making your bed not only creates a sense of accomplishment but also prepares your mind for the day ahead. Taking care of your skin is fundamental, especially when balancing multiple tasks; choosing a broad-spectrum sunscreen, like La Roche-Posay Anthelios, protects against UV rays while keeping your skin hydrated. Journaling can serve as a mental decluttering tool, promoting clarity and focus on daily goals. Finally, spending time outdoors can elevate your mood and boost energy levels. Whether it's a quick walk or moments spent in nature, these practices significantly enhance overall productivity and well-being. Building a consistent morning routine can lead to lasting positive impacts on both academic performance and personal happiness.

As a mom I need my morning non-negotiables!

Before the kids get up I need time alone. Time with God. Time to plan out my days. So I go outside on either my swing chair or hammock, read my book, sit in silence with God, drink my coffee and get some sunlight. Then I plan my day. You need to give to yourself before you can give to others.
