If you know me, I’ve always wanted to be like my Grammy when I grow up.
She’s the life of the party and has so much spunk in her!
We recently took her to Austin, and on the plane, her and I got to talking about her morning routine.
She said how much she just loves it, so of course I asked more.
Here’s hers:
Coffee while sitting on the comfy couch
Cute golden doodle dog at her feet
Play Wordle & some other games to stay sharp
News on in the background
It’s not just what she does that stood out to me, but how much she just LOVES her mornings.
How many of us can say that?
Don’t we deserve to LOVE our mornings?
My Morning Routine Coach brain kicked in and looked at what makes Grammy’s morning routine so enjoyable:
1) Purpose to get out of bed
Having something to do or somewhere to be can feel nice.
When we don’t, those are the days we stay in bed all day and feel like a blob.
Yes some days it’s nice to have nowhere to be, but having purpose to get out of bed is something that can keep us going.
But it has to be a purpose catered to you.
2) Starting your day on your terms
You picking how the day starts can be incredibly empowering!
Choosing when you wake up, what you do, and the speed in which you do it at.
I like to ask people,
“who decides what time you wake up?”
Right now, a lot of us may say work.
When we decide to wake up 15 minutes earlier to do something for ourselves, we’ve just switched from living on work’s terms to living on YOUR terms.
Trust me, Grammy is living on Grammy’s terms.

Tomorrow is her 83rd birthday and I hope to still be loving my mornings when I’m her age!
So happy birthday Grammy, you inspire us all!
If you want a morning like Grammy’s sooner rather than later, let’s chat about coaching and make it happen!
