Last fall I participated in an online group called the Hello Mornings Challenge. It was thirteen weeks of purposefully getting up before my kids to spend time with the Lord, exercise, and plan my day. I connected with some amazing women who share my desire to give my time to the Lord and my struggles with a comfy bed, allergies, illness, babies, and all the other things that keep us down. It was a great experience, and it taught me more than I can cover in this blog alone. The winter session begins again on January 28th, but I have already been in touch with my group as we are preparing even now to make those positive changes to our mornings.
My ideal morning, in this season of my life would look something like this:
- 5:00 AM Prayer & Scripture
- 5:45 AM Shower and Dress
- 6:15 AM Planning the Day
- 6:45 AM Feed Madi/Breakfast with Ray
- 7:00 AM Get Brooklyn up
- 7:15 AM Get Grayson up
- 7:45 AM Out the door!
I have not included exercise in the morning routine because I think I have found an ideal time to fit a walk in about four times a week, later in the morning. I also know that Madi won't always need such an early morning breakfast, so this is definitely an ideal for this season only.
I think my baby step during this challenge will be to master getting up at 6. So my morning will look like this:
- 6 AM Dress
- 6:15 Prayer and Scripture
- 6:30 Planning
- 6:45 Breakfast with Madi & Ray
- 7:00 Get Brooklyn up
- 7:15 Get Grayson up
- 7:30 Breakfast for kids
- 7:45 Out the door!
Well, something like that! ;0)
