I Used to Wake Up Crying. Here’s What Changed.
Mornings used to feel like a battle before I even got out of bed.
My mind would immediately start running through everything I had to do that day—then, before I knew it, I was fast-forwarding, worrying about things that hadn’t even happened yet.
➝ Will I make enough to support this dream?
➝ Will I have the energy to be fully present for my kids?
➝ Will I have enough time set aside for my husband?
Before I even touched the floor, I was overwhelmed. Some mornings, before I even took a deep breath, I was already crying.
And here’s the thing—I believe in planning. I’m all for being prepared. But what I was doing wasn’t preparation… it was fear. It was letting my mind race so far ahead that I couldn’t focus on the now.
Then, I started something simple. A morning ritual.
Not just any routine—but a ritual that grounded me. One that reminded me of who I am and whose I am.
And over time? It changed everything.
The Mental Benefits: Clarity, Emotional Balance & Mindfulness
Before rituals, I felt like I was constantly playing catch-up—with my emotions, my stress, and my peace. But the moment I started incorporating intentional moments into my day, everything started to slow down.
✔ More Clarity – Instead of waking up spiraling, I started waking up centered.
✔ Emotional Balance – My gratitude journaling keeps me present, which has significantly reduced my anxiety. (Less worry = less stress.)
✔ Mindfulness – I’m no longer just reacting to life; I’m experiencing it fully, one moment at a time.
The Physical Benefits: More Energy, Less Stress & Better Skin
I started my rituals for my mental well-being, but I didn’t realize how much they would impact my physical health, too.
Stress affects everything—your energy, your skin, your heart health. When I started prioritizing my peace, I saw real shifts:
✔ More Energy – No more waking up drained. My mornings felt lighter.
✔ Lower Cortisol (Your Stress Hormone) – My blood pressure evened out, my headaches decreased, and my body felt lighter.
✔ Improved Skin & Confidence – I started seeing my glow return—inside and out.
How to Start Your Own Ritual
If you’ve ever woken up feeling like you’re already behind, I want you to know this: your peace starts with the smallest moments. You don’t have to change your whole life overnight—just start with one thing.
💡 Try This: Choose one thing to add to your morning or evening routine this week. It could be:
- Writing down 3 things you’re grateful for (and why).
- Drinking your tea or coffee without distractions.
- Stretching for 5 minutes before bed.
- Taking deep breaths before you reach for your phone.
The key?
Make it intentional. Make it YOURS!!
