What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

Ooof, well this will smack me into reality because I always say I want a good morning routine, yet lately I’ve been letting the snooze button win. I have been feeling more anxious lately as my surgery day approaches, so right now I typically wake up with a stomach ache and my heart racing. I typically wake up before my alarm feeling like this, so I’ll use the bathroom and then spend time laying in bed trying to mindfully breathe.

Sometimes I fall back asleep, most of the time it feels like I don’t. Once my alarm goes off I usually snooze is so I can try to mindfully breathe myself out of anxiety, and I will get up and feed the cats. I then typically get dressed, brush my teeth & put on some deodorant (I usually shower in the evening) and kiss my sleeping husband before I head out to work!
