  Speaker 1: Picture this. It's Monday morning, your alarm goes off, and
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: your bed is calling your name. You hit snooze, promising
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: yourself you'll get up in five minutes. Fast forward to reality.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: You're rushing to class, feeling stressed and feeling overwhelmed. If
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: you have ever had this experience or one similar to it,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you that there is a better
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: way to start your day. How you begin your day
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: has a huge impact on how the rest of your
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: day goes. A well-structured morning routine can significantly enhance your productivity,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: your well-being and academic success. There are a number of
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: factors that contribute to whether or not you achieve the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: goals you set for yourself. But research confirms that having
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a morning routine is one of the keys to success.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: According to leaders.com, 92% of highly successful people have a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: solid morning routine. Harvard's Business Review found that 92% of
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: highly productive people follow planned morning routines. A structured morning
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: routine removes the rush and the chaos that is often
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: associated with starting your day. This gives you an opportunity
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to be well-prepared and well-rested. Did you know that having
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a good morning routine also helps you to clear your mind?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Deciding what's most important becomes easier when you have time
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to declutter your thoughts and set clear intentions for your day.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Do you have a morning routine focused on helping you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: become a better version of you? It is unfair for
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: you to be a hero to everyone else while constantly
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: placing your needs and your self-care on the back burner.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I am a natural helper and nurturer. However, I would
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: often find myself putting my needs and my desires last
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: over and over again. It wasn't until I fully understood
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the importance of giving to myself first that I began
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to feel better and be better positioned to help others.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: There will always be someone who can use your help
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and something that you can be working on. But what
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to do is attempt to give
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: while you're on empty. I want to challenge you to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: start every day with pouring into yourself. Every waking hour
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of your day should not be consumed with work and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: taking care of others. Do you give yourself thinking time?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Do you give yourself downtime, learning time? It is important
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to block time off for yourself. Prioritizing you is the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: best gift that you can give to those around you
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: because it allows you to serve from your overflow. You
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: show up differently. when you are in a good mood.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: When you are well rested and in a good mood,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you are more creative and your day goes better. I'm
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: always aware of my energy because it impacts my performance.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: There is no special formula, but you get to decide
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: what every morning will look like for you. For some
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of you, your starting point might be establishing an evening
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: routine so that your morning routine will be successful. Now,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: if you're not accustomed to having a consistent morning routine,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: it might be challenging initially. With that being said, I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: want to encourage you to let go of any expectations
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you might have around developing the perfect morning routine. You
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: do want to be consistent, but you also want to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: give yourself grace. You are not looking for perfection at
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: this point. All you want to do is really focus
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: on developing a new habit. You want to be intentional
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: about putting your energy towards creating a morning routine that
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: works best for you. Now let's talk about some of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the elements of an effective morning routine. Now, these are
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: just a few ideas. Remember, it is important for you
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to establish a routine that works best for you. Wake
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: up early. This gives you time to prepare for your
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: day and it sets a positive tone for your day.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Some people leverage the extra time that they get by
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: waking up early to establish their top priorities, review their
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: calendar or tackle a task that they have been putting off.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Exercise is another great component to consider adding to your
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: morning routine. Physical activity releases feel-good endorphins, boosts your energy
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and provides mental clarity. Something that you could combine with
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: exercise is giving yourself a dose of inspiration. One of
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: my commitments to myself is to read, listen to, or
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: watch something inspirational every morning. Mindfulness or meditation. Practicing mindfulness
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: or meditation can enhance your focus and reduce anxiety. Drink
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: water and eat a healthy breakfast. So nutrition plays a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: key role in sustaining energy levels throughout your day. Now
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I'm going to share a few practical tips for creating
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and sustaining a morning routine. Start small. Begin with manageable
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: habits and gradually build up to your full morning routine.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: If you try to put too much on yourself initially,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it might cause you to get overwhelmed, frustrated, and then
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you may feel the desire to give up. So start small.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Be consistent. The key to success is in daily practice.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Even if you kind of get off track, give yourself
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: some grace and just be consistent again the next day.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Be flexible. Be flexible with your routine because at some
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: point you might need to accommodate changes in your schedule.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Seek accountability. In addition to holding yourself accountable, you can
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: also find an accountability partner or you can use an
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: app to help you track your progress. Daily assessment and reflection.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: You want to be honest with yourself. You want to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: be honest about where you are. So you look at
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: what you did well and where you have room to grow.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: If you're on track, keep up the great work. If
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you're off track, then you want to figure out what
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: needs to change and make the necessary adjustments. A morning
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: routine can help you start your day with intention and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: help you become more resilient during times of stress. A
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: good morning routine can also help you feel more in
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: control of your schedule, improve mental health, better physical health,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: more energy, greater concentration, and less stress. So, if you
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: have not already done so, I want to encourage you
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to commit to developing and implementing a morning routine that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: works best for you.
