Simple deep breathing practices can literally take one minute, and will shift your whole biochemistry into a calm, alert state. Here’s 11 things you can play around with in your morning hours, with or without kids underfoot. I started exploring different ways to bring calm, clarity, and joy to my mornings. While it may not be the most perfect scenario, I could still create an effective morning routine with my kids awake and around me. Since I was already sleep-deprived, I put off creating a morning routine that would set a cadence for my day in a way that I wanted.Īnd as it often happens-while I was teaching clients, a light bulb went off in my own life. I fell into the old, familiar all-or-nothing trap for a long time. I believe that as moms, we need to kick ideal out the window and come to terms with the life we are living, instead of waiting for the perfect conditions to exist. This is where I needed a strong dose of my own medicine.
FIND MUSIC TO WAKE UP CHILDREN PLUS
My real was chronic nights of sub-par and broken sleep, plus a complete abandonment of attempting any morning routine at all. I began to feel that familiar struggle between what I call “my ideal and my real.” My ideal was to both be well rested and have an intentional morning routine-and if possible, one that begins on my own terms, preferably before the kids wake up. Little did I know just how long the broken sleep stage lasts while raising kids.īetween middle-of-the-night spooks, bed wetting, bathroom trips and sick days, most mamas are not clocking in anywhere close to the 8-10 recommended sleep hours. Personally, before having children, I assumed severe lack of sleep was limited to the early infant months.
I think the most common issue moms share is sleep deprivation.
