What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
Confession: Morning rituals are aspirational for me. In the first hour of the day, I listen to the CBC news and weather, often in bed. I drink coffee and eat breakfast. I peek at my email to make sure nothing has exploded. Then, I shower and get dressed. That’s pretty much an hour.
It’s true that some mornings I ride my bike on the trainer. One morning a week at least, we’re at the gym bright and early. These activities squish the activities in the first paragraph into under an hour and maybe the shower comes after. But there’s no routine or ritual about it, more of a mad rush.
What I’d like to add: A morning mobility and stretching routine and a quick walk with Cheddar. May 5th is my first Monday back in the Dean’s office. That’s my start date. Wish me luck!
My son and I were just chatting about fitness influencer Ashton Hall’s wild morning routine. Have you seen it?
Want to read about it? Here’s this from the Toronto Star: Push-ups at 4 a.m., banana peel face-rubs and ice-water dunks — I’m exhausted just thinking about Ashton Hall’s bizarre morning routine.
How about you? Do you have a morning ritual or routine?
Here’s puppy Cheddar in the morning.
