Personal Development Books
When I say I'm not a reader I mean I'm not a reader. But I have found reading a personal development book (like maybe 3-5 pages) in the mornings helps me get motivated. These are the ones that have jump started my mindset each day.
I saw Simon Ong speak at a conference and he was so compelling. I love his story and perspective on making the most of every moment in your life.
Energize: Make the Most of Every Moment
This book went a little viral but for good reason. Truly motivating and whips you into shape to form those really good daily habits

Honestly a must read and a classic. This book is full of knowledge

My Morning Routine
You see loads of “influencers” sharing their morning routine on the social media channels. For me it's not so glamorous but rather simple.
I don't do this every morning (I love my coffee) but I definitely do it when I'm feeling sick or just a little worn out.

I vary my stretching depending on how I feel but I do try and do some kind of gentle stretching to wake me up and loosen up those muscles that I may have slept with tense the night before
10 morning stretches to help you start your day
This is something that takes constant practice but even if I can last for 30 minutes in the morning I see that as a win. I like to start my morning with my coffee/or warm lemon water, a good personal development book and heated blanket.

Exercise
There is no question about it, moving your body daily is one of the healthiest things you could do for yourself. I love a good movement session whether it be sweaty or just a gentle stretch. Here are my favorites.

Not all my hikes are as pretty as these pictures but I do firmly believe getting outside is always a good idea. I try and have my kids play outside as much as possible (even when its cold) Nature can do amazing things to one's mind and body.
