  Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Hawkerel Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a new mindset, and another day if you become the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Cockrel Energy you want to atrack. Happy Wednesday, Welcome back
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to another episode. I hope you guys enjoyed last week's
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: episode as much as I did. I am so excited
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to be entering a new season and being in the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: fall spirit. I feel like I definitely got really into
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: fall mode this week because I went to home sense
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I did all my falled core shopping, found a lot
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of new things that I'm really obsessed with. I found
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a dog that looks like Freddy. It's like a dog
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: statue that has a ghost like costume on it with
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: his little us eyes popping out, and then he has
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a little pumpkin in his mouth and it actually lights up.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: So I thought it'd be a cute little thing to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: put in front of our porch outside with the rest
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: of our outdoor decor. I also found two glass pumpkins
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: that I want to use on my coffee table. I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: found some pumpkin candles, some coffee table books that are
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: kind of like in the brown tope colors to decorate
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: my coffee nook with I don't know, just like a
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: bunch of things, oh, fall pillows. I ordered some florals
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: from Amazon, and then of course I have my decor
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: from last year that I will obviously be reusing for
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: this year. But I feel like every year I always
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: just get a few things to add to the current assortment.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And sometimes there's colors that I don't really use anymore
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that I probably will keep in the storage bin and
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: not take out for this year when I decorate this week.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: So anyways, just kind of always get a few things
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: just to kind of keep the style and trends up
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to date in the house, and then and whatever I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: don't want to use, I just honestly keep the storage bin,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and you know, maybe I'll use it the following year.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: But I know there's definitely a few pieces that I
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: won't use this year, just because the color palette doesn't
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: go with the color palette that I'm using for this year.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: But anyways, I definitely got in the fall mode this
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: week just by going to home Sense and doing a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: bit of fall to core shopping. So if you want
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to get in the fall mode like me, I highly
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: recommend going to your closest home goods or home sense
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: or just something that's going to get you in the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: fall spirit, because that definitely helped. And now I'm just
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: looking forward to decorating this week and getting into maybe
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: some pumpkin recipes. I've been really wanting to make some
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: pumpkin spice coffee. I finally picked up some pumpkin pure
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: at the grocery store this week, so hoping to make that.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: The pumpkin spice bagels I'm actually trying out today, which
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited about. I'm going to tempt making that,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and yeah, so there's just so much look forward to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: this week. And of course I have my fall nail
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: appointment booked, which I'm also excited about. I think I'm
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: going to go for either like a deep Harry red
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: or a dark brown. I also love like dark navy
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: for the fall season as well. So just a lot
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of things to look forward to and prep for the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: fall season. I kind of wanted to continue talking about
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: fall obviously within these next few episodes, but I really
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: wanted to dedicate this episode about building a fall routine
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: because I think going into a new season, I think
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: we all kind of have to adjust our routine when
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: it comes to a new season. You know, obviously it's
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: getting darker in the mornings and darker at nights, faster
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it's colder, so you know, for me, I used to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: love going on my sunrise walks before you know, like
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: five thirty, and now the sun is not even out
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: at five thirty. The sun doesn't come up to like
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I think, like six thirty now. So yeah, it's kind
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of made a bit of an adjustment with my routine.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: And I figured I would share some tips on how
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to create a routine for yourself if you're someone that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: wants to get into a routine this season, if you're
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: someone that's kind of been out of rote all summer
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and wants to get back into a routine, I thought
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I would share some tips on how to build a
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: routine for yourself. And I also thought I would share
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: my ideal fall morning routine and night routine that I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: hope to stick to throughout the fall season. So let's
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: talk about how we're going to create the ideal fall routine.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Is it going to be a morning routine for you?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Is it going to be a night routine Is it
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: going to be both? I think the first question is
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: is that what can you do with your own time
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to create an hour of your own schedule of just
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: focusing on yourself. So let's say you're a nurse that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: works an overnight shift. You know you work from five
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: pm to five am. You know you have to sleep
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: obviously during the morning to kind of catch up, and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: then you know you have a little bit of room
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: between like one and two pm to do something for
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: yourself before you start your shift at five pm the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: next day. So let's just put that into the scenario.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So if you can't do a morning routine or a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: night routine, you're going to take that hour to yourself
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and dedicate three of your faceavorite things that you like
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to do for yourself. Is it, you know, getting movement in.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Is it just going on a walk or going on
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a workout? Is it journaling? Is it reading a book?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Like find time throughout your day to take one hour
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of your time to dedicate time to yourself. And it
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: can be anything that you want to set your mind to.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Another example is is if you want to create a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: routine for your morning and night routine and you are
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: more productive maybe in the morning versus night. Then make
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: your mornings more busy, like do your movement in the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: morning to your workouts, and then maybe for your night
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: routine you make it more of a relaxing routine, you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you unwind, you read a book, all that. So maybe
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you can split it up into two like I do,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: which is in the morning I like to have, you know,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: my most productive self in the morning where I'm journaling,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I'm getting my workout in, I'm getting my walk in
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: all that, and then at night I usually like to unwind,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you know, chill, take a bath, take a shower, do
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: my skin care, all that. So that's kind of how
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I like to do things. But there might be someone
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: out there that is the opposite, or they like to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: have a productive night routine where they like to get
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: their workout done in the evening, you know, take a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: hot shower, make dinner, you know, do some journaling, and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: head to bed, whereas in their morning they would prefer
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to read, have a slow morning, turn on their fireplace,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: just kind of take their time to wake up, make
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: a coffee, and then start their workday. So it really
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: just depends on what works best for you. I think
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: it's all about figuring out a schedule and a routine
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: for yourself that best fits within your day to day schedule.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Another thing that I think you need to identify when
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it comes to building a routine for yourself is what
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: are the current habits that you currently do. Do you
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: like to wake up later in the day or do
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you like to wake up early? Do you like to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: go to bed late or do you like to go
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to bed early? Is there things that you want to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: change about that, Like do you want to become an
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: early riser? So maybe you need to start going to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: bed earlier in order to achieve an early morning routine.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: So all about just kind of figuring out how you
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: want to, you know, set your intention for your routine
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for the fall, and so order to do that, you
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: need to kind of identify what is going to be
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: your motive. Is it going to be I'm going to
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: be an early riser this fall? I want to be
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: able to wake up at six am every single morning,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: have a bit of a slower morning, be able to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: get a workout done by nine am. That way I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: can start my work day throughout the day. Or is
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: it going to be you know, I really want to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: get evening workouts done every single day at five pm
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and be able to cook dinner and have my shower
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: done before seven or eight pm, and be able to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: unwind and chill and watch Netflix for the rest of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the night. Like it just kind of depends on how
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you want to set your intention for the days and
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: your routine, and just like things that are maybe your
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: non negotiables, Like you have some non negotiables that you
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: want to get done in the morning and you want
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to get done at night, and you kind of just
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: have to structure it of everything that you want to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: get done. That way you can have everything done throughout
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the day and you don't have to stress knowing that
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you did all your non negotiables in the morning and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: at night. Another tip for when you're trying to establish
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: your routine is adjusting your old habits into a new season.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: So for me, for an example, as I said, I
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: usually love to do an early morning walk, but because
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the sun has been rising later versus in the summer,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I've been trying to adapt by changing up my routine
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: in the mornings. So something that I've been doing is
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: kind of having a slower morning. So I've decided to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: take twenty minutes of my morning reading by my fireplace,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: which has been honestly really nice. It's been a nice
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: way just to kind of start the morning off slow
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and waking up early, just to kind of, like, I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: don't know, obviously, wake myself up. But it's been something
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: is very different for me, because I feel like I'm
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: not that type of person to start off slow. I
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: feel like usually I'm like wanting to jump into the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: swing of things. But I feel like it has been
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: a really nice start to the day of just reading
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: for twenty minutes on my couch with the fireplace on
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: before the sun comes up. And then as soon as
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I see the sun starting to come up, I'll go upstairs.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I'll change into my workout clothes, and usually I'll go
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: on a walk with Reddy for about thirty minutes before
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I head to my workout class. So that's what I've
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: been trying to stick to for the fall season. I have.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I've been loving the book I've been reading currently. I'm
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: reading the book Reminders of Him, and I think I'm
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: on I want to say, like chapter fourteen. I started
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to read it while I was in Italy. I finished
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: one book. I started reading the book The Boyfriend by Frida.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's McFadden. I want to say she's the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: same writer of The Housemaid, which I read in March
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: during my Mexico trip. So I think I've read a
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: total of four books this year, which, if you guys remember,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I talked about wanting to read at least six to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: twelve books. So I'm really happy about almost getting to
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: six books. So I'm on my fifth book right now,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: reading The Reminders of Him, and I've been loving it
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: so far. So I've been spending twenty minutes in the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: morning reading my book before I start my workout in
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: my walk and as I said, it's just been like
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: a nice thing to first off add something new into
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: my morning routine, but also being able to adjust my
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: old habits, which is walking in a workout by adjusting
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it in my routine. For the fall season, I will
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: also have to probably adjust my walking schedule with using
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: my walking pad, because as it gets colder and colder,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I do think the walks are going to become a
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: little unenjoyable for me as it gets to get really
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: really cold. So it might also be just like walking
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: later in the day, so maybe doing an afternoon walk
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: versus a morning walk, and as I said, using my
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: walking pad, maybe instead of walking outside if I want
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to get some movement in before my workout class in
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the morning. An example for someone who might be wanting
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to adjust their habits into a new season, that might
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: be a mom. So for example, if you're a mom
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: that has kids going to school, and you know you
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: don't have the time to obviously do things for yourself
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: before your kids go to school, because obviously you want
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to help prep your kids lunches and breakfast along with
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: getting them dressed, getting their backpacks all packed up for
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the school day. So obviously you're dedicating a lot of
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: time for your kids being ready for school. So maybe
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: it's adjusting your morning routine with either waking up an
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: hour earlier than you typically would to get the things
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: done that you want to do, or maybe it's adjusting
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: your routine completely to a afternoon kind of like a
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: noon schedule. You know, maybe on your lunch break for work,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: or an evening routine before your kids are done school,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: or when your kids are done school and they're done
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: dinner and you can do kind of like a late night,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you know routine of just kind of undwinding and maybe
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: taking twenty minutes to yourself to get a bit of
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: movement in as well. Another idea for moms is you
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: could prep some stuff at night for your kids. That
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: way you could dedicate more time in the morning for yourself.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: So maybe it's prepping your kids, you know, lunch boxes
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and backpacks at night before you head to bed. That
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: would when you wake up. The only thing you have
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to do is just obviously make your kids breakfasts and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: get them dressed for school, because obviously I know that
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the school season has started for a lot of young
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: kids along with girls that who are starting university or
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: anything like that, so I know adjusting your routine can
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: be a lot, especially when you know you've had the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: summer off for the past few months. It's definitely difficult
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: for the first few weeks of September to establish a routine.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: So please do not be so hard on yourself the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: end of the day. It's something that we all are
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: gradually trying to establish with entering a new season, so
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: do not feel stressed. Everybody is in the same boat
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: of trying to rebuild a schedule, whether you're a mom,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a student who went back to university, or just someone
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that is readjusting their routine for a new season. Everybody's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: kind of going through a new routine right now. And yeah,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: so I just kind of wanted to give the example
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: because I do know that I have a few moms
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: who listened to the podcast as well, so I wanted
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: to give that example if you're looking to adjust your routine.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: So I think it's really all about just a slow
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: transition and starting small, so taking it day by day,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: because as I said, like building a routine doesn't just
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: take a few days and you've mastered it, like to
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: be fully transparent, it usually takes a few weeks for
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: it to feel normal and to feel adjusted and to
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: feel like, you know, you've got your shit back into gear,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: if that makes sense. I feel like everyone's probably feeling
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: just a little off right now, and that's okay. We're
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: all trying to add new goals into our routine and
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and yeah, sometimes it's just new. Obviously going into a
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: new season, it feels good, but obviously it does feel
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: very fresh to the point where we're just making some
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: changes and trying to, you know, adjust to the new
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: routine that we're trying to build for ourselves. So do
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: not feel like everything's going to feel completely normal at once,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: because it's not. It's just going to feel more gradual,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and we're just going to take it day by day
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and we're just going to know mentally that everything is
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: going to all work out within a few weeks and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: it's going to feel so good after adjusting into a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: new routine. It's also good to note that it's important
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to kind of like make note of things in your
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: routine that you might not like. So, you know, maybe
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you've been doing what I've been doing, which is reading
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: in the morning for twenty minutes, but you don't really
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: like it because you might feel like it's too slow paced,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: or you might feel a little rushed trying to rush
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to a workout class right after reading, and it just
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: might feel, you know, just like not fitting well for
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: your routine and it just might not work for you.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: That's fine. That's when we try I make some tweaks
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: or any modifications to the routine where you know, okay,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: maybe it's reading twenty minutes before bed verse twenty minutes
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: when I wake up. I've tried reading twenty minutes before
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: bed does not work for me. So that's why I'm
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: trying the twenty minutes in the morning because it's kind
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: of like my only alone time. I would say, just
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: because obviously Za gets home from work and we like
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: to watch a TV show together in bed, so I
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: kind of like to have that is him and I time,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: is our night routine. We do that together. It's, you know,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: time that we get to cherish and spend time together.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So my mornings are really just like the time where
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I'm alone and I get to kind of do my
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: favorite things that bring me, you know, excitement and joy.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: So that's what I've been doing to adjust my routine.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: But if that feels forced for you, or it just
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: feels like it's not working, then that's when you should
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: make some tweaks and adjustments into your routine to make
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: it work for you. So if you don't like workout
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: classes in the morning, maybe you'll prefer workout classes in
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: the evening, or maybe you prefer to do a workout
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: class at noon on your lunch break. Like, just kind
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: of figure out what works best for you, and again,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: do not stress if it's not working out for you,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: because everyone's gonna have a preference on anything in their routine,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and yeah, just know that you can make modifications. And
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: it's just good to reflect on this new routine that
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you're trying to establish and just making sure that it
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: feels good and that you're liking it. Because when you
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: actually like your routine and things feel good, that's when
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: you're actually consistent with it, and you're going to see
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: your results and you're gonna feel good and you're gonna
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: have a you know, just a better mindset throughout your day.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: You're gonna feel more productive all that. So just note
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: that it's important to make tweaks if needed. So those
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: are the five tips that I recommend when it comes
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: to building your ideal routine for the fall season. I'm
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: not going to share my ideal fall morning routine and
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: night routine. These are things that I plan on doing
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: for my fall routine this season and figured I would
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: just share for anyone that's looking for inspiration for creating
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: a morning routine or night routine for themselves. So personally,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: for me, as I say said, I plan on waking
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: up early. These past few weeks, I've been waking up
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: between five thirty and six since i've been home from Italy,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I've been still trying to continue the early morning train
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: just because I personally love waking up early and I
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: feel like, again it's my only alone time where I
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: can kind of just do things that make me feel
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: good that I enjoy doing, which is getting some movement in,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you know, doing my journaling, reading all that. So something
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that I've been doing that's been new, as I said,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: was reading a book by my fireplace as soon as
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I wake up. So wake up at five thirty, brush
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: my teeth, you know, put my hair in a ponytail.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I'll go downstairs. I will light a candle, turn on
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: my fireplace, and take twenty minutes. I will literally set
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: a twenty minute timer on my phone. Setting the timer
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: on the phone is probably the biggest game changer, just
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: because it allows me to stay on top of things,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and you know, sometimes I feel like I'll stay twenty minutes,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: but it'll actually be twenty eight or twenty nine minutes,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and then that eight to nine minutes actually makes a
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: difference when I'm trying to rush to a workout class
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: or get a thirty minute walk in before the workout class.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm very much a you know, by the time
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: kind of person. So I set a twenty minute time
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: around my phone, read for twenty minutes. As soon as
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: that timer goes off, you know, put my bookmarker on
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: my book, head upstairs, get change, and then I get
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: out for my morning walk with Freddy. Because by the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: time I'm done reading, usually the sun is up. By
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that point, it's still obviously more of a sunrise versus
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: you know, the full sun being out. But it's quite
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: enjoyable and it's kind of chilly right now, which is nice.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: So walking outside with a bit of a chill, with
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: a cozy sweater on, and you know, just walking by
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: my pond that I typically do. I have a you know,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: a route that I always do that I know is
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: like thirty five minutes to the tee every single time.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: And sometimes I'll put eyepatches on. I'll put on a podcast. Lately,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I've been listening to a few podcasts. I really love
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Jay Sheddy's podcast. Lately, I've been listening to a lot
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: of episodes there, and yeah, I don't know, I just
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: kind of like zone out, enjoy you know, my walk
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: for thirty five minutes, and then literally I'll come home,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: drop Freddy off, jump in the car, head to my
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: workout class, do my hour workout class, whether it's going
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: to pilates, you know, a hot pilates class or spin
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: coat class. Been doing that NonStop. Been trying to get
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: into weightlifting. I do think I'm going to be booking
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: a weightlifting class next week with my girlfriend. She's done
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: it a few times, so I'd rather go with someone
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that I know has been to the class a few times.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: So I think we're going to do that together next week.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited about trying something new and maybe something
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that I'll add into my routine. But that's kind of
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: like how I've been starting off my mornings is you know,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: reading by my fireplace, you know, walking outside with Freddy,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: going to my workout. Then I'll come home, make a breakfast.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Right now, I've been trying to make some fall inspired breakfasts. So,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: as I said, I am making the Greek yogurt bagels today,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: which I'm very excited about. The pumpkin spice ones. But
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I also love the pumpkin pancakes. Oh my goodness, guys,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I made these last year. These are insane. Their pumpkin
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: protein pancakes. I will try and put the recipe maybe
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: in the description if I can find it. If not,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: go on TikTok search my name, search Killy Stewart pumpkin pancakes,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and they are so freaking good, guys, I'm obsessed with them,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: so I'm definitely trying to bring those back into my
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: weekly rotation of breakfasts. I also just love putting like
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: almond butter on toasts, like on sour dough bread with banana,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: putting a bit of pumpkin spice seasoning on top with
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: some honey as well. So just trying to make some
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: fall inspired breakfasts as well, and then obviously make my
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: coffee which has been the pumpkin spice seasoning with honey
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and sea salt. Trying to figure out if I should
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: try out a pumpkin syrup. I've seen people make homemade
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: pumpkin syrups and putting it in their fridge and then
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: using that as their way of like making their coffee.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I've seen a few with like maple butter with pumpkin
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: seasoning like pumpkin pure and then pumpkin spice and then
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the maple better and I don't know, it sounds incredible.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I haven't attempted to make it yet, but I'm trying
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to make it all natural sugars versus buying like the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: pumpkin syrup from you know, Winters or Home Sense or Amazon.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I try and avoid doing that just because I feel
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: like those get really sugary if you look at the
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: content of it, and I don't know, just not something
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: that I want to do, just because I like to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: treat myself to a coffee once a week, and usually
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I'll treat myself to either like a Stirbucks drink or
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: you know, a local coffee shop, I'll get, you know,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: something with pumpkin or brown sugar in it. So for
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: my everyday coffee, I would rather not do that just
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: because I, you know, would rather just treat myself to
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the ones that have those pumps of syrup and all
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: that when I buy a coffee first, when I make
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: it at home, I'd rather it be you know, natural
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: sugars and just you know, it's just better for you obviously.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: So whatever I attempt to make, I will share obviously,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: with this pumpkin syrup that I've been trying to find
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the perfect recipe for, but I did see one with
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: maple butter. You can pick it up at farm Boy,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I believe, if you're in the Ontario area. But I'm
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: sure you can pick up maple butter wherever you are,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: whether a Trader Joe's, you know, a Whole Foods, whatever,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: it's a pretty common thing. You could probably honestly buy
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: it from Amazon as well. There's also something called vanilla
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: bean I believe it's a vanilla bean syrup, I want
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to say, and or a vanilla bean paste. That's what
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: it is. That sounds incredible in a coffee as well.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try and figure out a recipe and
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I will share it with you guys once I've mastered it.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: But right now I'm in the process of trying to
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: figure out the perfect pumpkin spice coffee. But that's kind
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: of like my ideal fall morning routine. By that point,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I have a shower, do my skincare, do my makeup,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: and I start my work day and I get to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: filming or recording the podcast or you know, recording a
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: YouTube video. You guys know that my job's kind of
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: all over the place when it comes to random things
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: that I have to get done throughout the day. But
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: that is what I've been doing for my fall morning routine.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: As for my fall night routine, this is something that
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I'm currently trying to master. I feel like this is
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: my first week back since Italy because last week we
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: had the wedding, so I haven't really mastered my night
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: routine yet, but trying to slowly figure out what I
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: want to make a priority. But right now, I would
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: say my ideal routine would be to obviously come home,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: make dinner, maybe make a fall dinner like soups or
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: stews or something in the crock pot, you know, obviously
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: making something fall inspired. Then I'm kind of like unwinding
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: by cleaning up the kitchen, obviously putting everything in the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: dishwash or cleaning up the kitchen, making sure the house
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: is completely clean. I like to usually fluff my couch,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: fluff my pillows, blow out any candles that I've lit
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: for dinner, and then usually I will take a hot
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: shower at night as well, just to kind of, you know,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: relax myself. If you're the kind of person that might
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: like hot baths, that would be the most ideal routine.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: You can also read while you're in the bath, which
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: would be really nice, or if you're the kind of
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: person that likes to do a bit of self care
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to unwind, like putting on a sheet mask, doing some
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: red light therapy, doing your iemass, whatever the case may be,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: that's kind of like the best way to unwind and
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: relax after you know, cooking dinner and cleaning up the house.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: And then again for me, it's kind of like my
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: time with Zach at night. So usually Zach and I
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: will like to watch a show together, and right now
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: we've been watching The Better Sister, which is actually about
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: her husband being murdered, which I do kind of think
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: falls into like spooky season. It's actually really good. It's
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: on Amazon Prime and it's called The Better Sister, And yeah,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: as I said, it's just about her husband being murdered
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: and they're trying to figure out who did it. Right now,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: her son is in custody, and anyways, I don't want
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: to give it away too much, but it's really good
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and I feel like it's kind of nice for this
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: time of the year. I mentioned in a few episodes
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: ago that I want to get into a fall TV show.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I want to watch Pretty Little
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Liars or Gossip Girl, I'm wondering if I need to
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: try Gilmore Girls out and maybe like actually like push
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: through it, because a lot of people do say it's
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: really good, and there is a lot of good actors
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: in it as well, so I feel like I might
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: need to just give it a shot and just kind
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: of push through the first few episodes. I feel like
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: usually the first season of a show is never really
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the greatest, but then by like season two and three,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: it gets much much better, and I feel like I'm
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: always usually more into the show, So maybe I just
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: need to give it more of a shot. But I
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: do appreciate everyone that has messaged me there are recommendations
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: for a TV show. I had a few of you guys,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: say Wednesday, and a few other shows as well that
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I screenshotted, so hopefully I can start something. But yeah,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: right now I'm watching The Better Sister, just because we
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: just started that like two days ago and we're enjoying it.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: But definitely plan on, yeah, watching another TV show that
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I just mentioned and hoping to get into it. So yeah,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: so usually around that time, we'll watch a TV show together,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and usually I'll go downstairs and I'll make a peppermint tea,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: just because I love to have peppermint tea at night.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I just find it's like the best way to unwind,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: and it's also really good for your digit question. So
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I usually make one for myself and one for Zach,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: and then sometimes when I'm in bed while we're watching TV,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I'll usually plan out the following day. So I'll open
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: up the notes on my phone and I will literally
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: write out, Okay, today is Tuesday. These are things that
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I have to get done, and I'll literally be like, okay,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: record the podcast, you know, film an ad for this brand,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: edit the ad, make myself some lunch. Okay, now I
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: got to go to Costco and do some groceries. Come back.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: We're going to be making this for dinner today. You know,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: just kind of like writing out everything that I need
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: to expect before the next day, so that way when
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I wake up in the morning, I could look at
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: my notes, check everything off, do my journaling, also write
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: it out again, because I feel like sometimes when I
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: write out my schedule multiple times, it really gets in
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: my brain and then I remember that I have to
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: get all these things done. And yeah, sometimes I just
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: find like writing things down and also having it in
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: my notes. So yeah, so I always plan out my
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: day the night before, and that's honestly it, like I
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: literally just watch TV, plan my night, probably go on
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: my phone scrolling, maybe do some online shopping. Right now,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I've obviously been doing some fall shopping. I actually just
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: place an order from Zara, so I'm excited about that.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I also ordered a few things from Amazon and what else,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know, just kind of like a few random spots.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I am actually heading to Toronto next weekend, super random,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: just for work. But I do want to do a
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: bit of like fall fashion shopping while I'm down there.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like they have a few better stores in
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Toronto versus here that we just don't have here in Ottawa.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: So I do want to do a bit of fall
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: shopping while I'm down there. So yeah, so that's basically
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: my ideal night routine. This is something that I think
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: is really easy for me to attain. But of course
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: everyone has a different routine for themselves. But I just
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: wanted to give you guys some inspiration for anyone that's
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: looking to build a night routine for themselves or a
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: morning routine. But I try and keep it pretty simple.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I don't try to like make it too complicated, because
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, like if
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: things get complicated, it's not going to be something that
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: you're going to consistently do and you're not going to
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: feel good if you're doing something different every single night.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: So it's all about just kind of creating the perfect
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: routine for yourself, whether it's a productive one or an
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: unwinding one. Just doing things for yourself, I think is
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: so important. You're showing up for yourself, You're doing these
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: little things that make you feel good, and doing these
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: little things for yourself actually really does add up. Like
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: me being in Italy for ten days, it was incredible
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: and I loved it, but I think by like day nine,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I was really itching to get back home and get
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: back into routine, you know, eating a home cooked meal.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Like you don't really appreciate those things when you're doing
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: it for so long until you actually leave and then
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: you realize how much you actually miss doing those little
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: things that make you feel so good. So truly, do
