1 of the most important times to do a morning routine is when you're traveling.
Why?
Your eating is different
Your workouts are sporadic
Your sleep schedule is weird
Your social battery is possibly drained
So you don't feel like you're completely losing yourself -
take a brief moment in the morning to check in!
Here's a 3-step playbook to make it happen:
1) Have an Anchor Activity
An Anchor Activity is doing something for 1-2 minutes each morning to check in with yourself.
(likely a shorter version of what you do for your regular morning routine)
Journal, take 5 deep breaths, take a walk.
Make your first, feel-good decision of the day and it becomes the catalyst for everything else!
2) Find a spot to do it
Maybe you're crashing on the couch in the living room at your aunt's house and you have limited privacy.
Sneak in your Anchor Activity when you go to the bathroom, go out to your car, take the walk.
This may be your only "me time" in the day so put it to good use.
3) Remember your why
Who are you becoming by taking a moment for yourself in the morning?
Someone who is…
Aware
Present
Motivated
As we enter the busy holiday travel season, how do you want to show up?
1 LAST THING
Maybe you find it is challenging to show up as your best self when traveling or around the holidays.
Remember -
You not doing your routine is the "holiday version" of you, not the "everyday version" of you.
Meaning -
1) not doing it is temporary
2) come the Monday after the holiday you'll jump back into it :)
