• 0:00
  2025 is the year that I'm going to get my morning routine.
• 0:05
  And I really believe it's important because I noticed the difference between
• 0:12
  waking up without having a plan or, well, you have to have a plan,
• 0:17
  especially if you have a job or kids.
• 0:20
  But I think it's a myth. I think it's a lot of bullshit when it comes to morning routines.
• 0:26
  I think it's a lot of, you know not real stuff that you hear about because remember
• 0:36
  you have to wake up every day it's a lot of mornings so yeah but either way
• 0:42
  I went out and before the ambulance.
• 0:46
  Arrives and you know pick me up I will yeah I just walked around ask people
• 0:52
  About their morning routines And you know what?
• 0:55
  It appears that people don't really have a morning routine Because when I asked
• 1:01
  them They were like What are you talking about? What do you mean?
• 1:06
  Morning routine? Is that a thing?
• 1:10
  Or they were like They looked at me like a question mark And just I wake up?
• 1:18
  Question mark And that made me so happy Because, you know, I think a lot of
• 1:24
  people just wake up and they just, okay, come on, find that sock and the sweater and the coffee.
• 1:32
  And I really don't think it's a lot of people out there who,
• 1:36
  you know, meditate, drink green tea or whatever in the mornings.
• 1:41
  But of course, there's a lot of people also doing that.
• 1:45
  So, and I envy them so much.
• 1:49
  Good morning, Lucy. Yeah. Get up and go to work.
• 1:53
  When do you drink coffee? Do I drink coffee? Of course I drink coffee.
• 1:57
  First thing in the morning, I have a glass of water with apple cider vinegar.
• 2:02
  And then two hours later, I have an espresso or regular coffee.
• 2:05
  And when do you get dressed? Oh, no, no. This is after I get dressed.
• 2:09
  As soon as I get up in the morning, it's obvious. I use the bathroom,
• 2:11
  brush my teeth, do my hair, get changed.
• 2:14
  And then I go ahead, have my apple cider vinegar water.
• 2:18
  Then I go on. And two hours later, I get myself a coffee.
