🌿 It is in the quiet of the morning that we rediscover our own rhythm.🌿

About a month ago, I experienced something unexpectedly beautiful. I woke up earlier than usual—before the chatter of the world began, before messages pinged or my toddler stirred. The air was still. The light was soft. There was no urgency, only presence. That morning stayed with me. It planted a seed.

Since then, I have been intentionally crafting a morning routine—a sacred space before the day begins, where I can gently reconnect with myself. I have been following it for about 30 days now. I’m halfway into the 66-day journey often recommended to rewire habits, and already I feel more grounded, less reactive, and more in tune with my needs.

Today, I’d love to walk you through my early morning routine, what inspired it, and why it’s made such a difference. Whether you’re a fellow mama, a creative soul, or someone navigating daily stress, I hope this offers comfort, insight, and maybe a nudge to create your own slow start to the day.

6:00 AM – The Gentle Wake-Up

My alarm goes off at 6:00 AM. I usually take about five minutes to truly rise—no rush, no pressure. Just allowing my body to catch up with my intention.

Waking early gives me space before the world’s demands arrive. In this quiet window, I’m not yet a mom, a partner, or a business owner—I’m simply me. There’s no stimulation, no interaction. Just stillness. And for someone who tends to absorb others’ emotions easily, that solitude is healing.

The first thing I do is brush my teeth and wash my face. It’s a small ritual that tells my body, We’re beginning again. The cold water on my skin instantly wakes me up and grounds me into the physical.

Then I change into my comfiest yoga pants and head downstairs to the living room—the most spacious and coziest place in my home. The soft light, the open space, the quiet… it sets the perfect backdrop for what comes next.

6:15 AM – Ayurveda Breathing, EFT Tapping & Yoga (Total: 30 Minutes)

This part of my routine is my emotional and physical anchor. It’s when I check in with myself, gently preparing my body and mind to enter the day with more clarity and less overwhelm.

I used to carry stress in my chest, often waking up already feeling tight, sometimes sneezing from hay fever before I even left the bed. So I started exploring calming rituals rooted in ancient practices and mind-body connection. Over the past month, I’ve found a beautiful rhythm with three key elements: Ayurveda breathing, EFT tapping, and yoga stretches. Each practice offers something different, yet together, they work like a soft reset for my system.

Let me walk you through how each one supports me—and might support you too.

✨ 5 Minutes – Ayurveda Breathing

This simple breathwork, rooted in ancient Indian wisdom, has been transformative. I started incorporating Ayurvedic breathing techniques because of two challenges I’ve been dealing with: stress and seasonal hay fever.

Breathing through alternate nostrils or gently lengthening the exhale activates the parasympathetic nervous system. That means:

• Reduced cortisol (stress hormone)
• Improved immunity
• Less reactivity throughout the day
• Clearer sinuses and deeper breathing

Breath, quite literally, is life—and this small act reclaims my power first thing in the morning.

✋ 5 Minutes – EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)

Then, I spend five minutes tapping through the body’s meridian points while gently repeating the affirmation:

“Even though I have this stress, I choose to love and accept myself.”

This method might feel strange at first, but the emotional release it brings is real. EFT has been studied for its ability to reduce anxiety, calm the nervous system, and release trapped emotions. For me, it softens the internal tightness that stress builds. It reminds me that I can meet myself with compassion—even when I feel overwhelmed or imperfect.

🧘‍♀️ 20 Minutes – Yoga Stretching

Once my breath and emotions have settled, I move into 20 minutes of gentle yoga. Some days it’s sun salutations, other days it’s just intuitive stretches and hip openers.

The goal isn’t performance—it’s presence. Movement brings energy into my body and helps me feel more connected. As a mom of a toddler, I often forget to prioritize my body’s needs. These 20 minutes help me realign and listen again.

Benefits of morning yoga:

• Increases circulation
• Loosens stiff joints and muscles
• Balances mood and energy levels
• Creates an intentional physical start to the day

6:45 AM – Quick Shower, Skincare, and Get Dressed

After the movement and grounding rituals, I take a quick shower. It’s more symbolic than anything else—it feels like washing off any heaviness I carried from the day before.

Then comes skincare, a moment of quiet care. I keep my skin care routine simple and nourishing. One step I never skip? Applying my Wild natural deodorant.

I’ve been using Wild’s refillable deodorant for a while now, and it’s become a key part of my daily self-care ritual. Here’s why:

• It’s aluminum-free and gentle on my sensitive skin
• The scents are natural and calming (Juicy Mango is my favorite)
• The packaging is fully reusable and sustainable—good for my body and the planet
• It glides on smoothly and actually lasts all day

When I apply it, it feels like more than hygiene—it feels like I’m making a conscious choice to protect my health and honor the Earth. That’s powerful.

7:05 AM – Nourishing My Family

This is one of my favorite parts of the morning. With my mind clear and body grounded, I head to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for my little family.

The menu is simple but warm: Honey and lemon drink to soothe and hydrate, boiled eggs for protein, croissants for comfort, coffee for that cozy, familiar lift.

I set everything on the table and enjoy the quiet of this moment—everything in place, the aroma in the air, and the knowledge that I’ve already poured into myself.

7:20 AM – Wake-Up Time for My Son

Around 7:20, my son naturally wakes up—sometimes right on cue. I help him with the essentials: a clean diaper, brushing teeth, washing his sweet, sleepy face, and choosing a comfy outfit. These little rituals are gentle transitions for him too. I try to stay calm and present, knowing that my energy sets the tone for his day.

7:45 AM – Breakfast Together

We all sit down and eat as a family. It’s a small window of connection before the busyness begins. No screens, no distractions—just us, the food, and a bit of light-hearted chatter. There’s something healing about eating slowly, surrounded by those you love. This moment anchors my morning with joy and connection.

8:15 AM – Daycare Drop-Off + Work Begins

After breakfast, we get ready to head out. I drop my son off at daycare, and then I return home or to my workspace to begin the day’s work. But the difference now?

I’m not rushing.
I’m not frazzled.
I’ve already filled my cup.

That changes everything.

Why Mornings Matter to Me?

I used to dread mornings. They felt like the starting gun of a race I hadn’t prepared for. But creating this intentional, spacious routine has flipped the script. Now, mornings are a gift—a way to reconnect with myself, my breath, my values.

If you’re thinking of building your own mindful routine, here are a few tips that helped me:

💡 Tips for Creating a Peaceful Early Morning Routine:

1. Start with 10 minutes – You don’t have to overhaul your whole day. Just begin with one mindful ritual.
2. Honor your body’s pace – Stretch or move in a way that feels intuitive.
3. Create a “sacred space” – Even a small cozy corner with a candle or mat can feel like sanctuary.
4. Choose products that align with your values – Choose the ones that supports sustainability and self-care.
5. Return to your why – For me, it’s the quiet. The stillness. The chance to be me, before the world steps in.
