How do you anchor your morning?

Welcome to the Daily Swole podcast, episode 2269.

Today's feature is from Lila, and this is a response to a question I was asking,

how do you anchor your morning to the entire Swole fam?

And Lila says, I had to really think about this because as a mom of two kids

and a hubby who works 48 to 96 hours away from home, I really don't have a consistent routine.

That being said, there are a few staple things I do every morning to start my day. It starts the

night before with a lunch prep. I'm not a morning person, so prepping at night

and writing post-it notes for anything else I have to do. Anything I can round up and do beforehand

is done. Workout outfit is already hung up in the bathroom and water bottle filled and in the

fridge. When I wake up, I drink a big glass of water, take my supplements, then I finish

getting the kids up and going. I get my coffee after it's all done. Not a morning person.

Prep the night before. It will save you time and brain power. I couldn't agree more. If you want to

have a successful, powerful morning, you need to prep the night before. A good night will lead to a good

morning. You're not going to have a good morning without a quality evening. So set yourself up for

success. One of the biggest points from atomic habits is make those habits that you want to execute on

unavoidable. If you need to meditate in the morning, you want to meditate in the morning, make sure you

have your chair.

When you wake up out of bed, you're going to trip over your meditation mat.

You're going to trip over the chair.

You make it easy and accessible.

You put everything that you need to have where you could just grab it.
