Fall is arguably the best time of the year. The leaves are changing, the weather is cooling down, and pumpkin Spice everything is appearing! There’s nothing quite like waking up to a chilly morning and taking a walk through the colorful leaves. Here are some tips on how to have the perfect fall morning at Upper Ivy!
How To Have The Perfect Fall Morning
Leaves are falling, autumn is calling. Now that it’s fall, it’s time to switch up your summer morning routine!
- Waking up – It’s always tempting to check your phone right as you wake up. But in doing so, it may prime your brain for distraction and set a stressful start for the day. Let’s try to set a goal this season to ease into checking your electronics after feeling fully awake and ready to start the day!
- Time to Yourself – Taking the time to unwind and relax can help improve your mood and better stress management.
- Meditate: Try meditating for a relaxing and peaceful morning. Meditating can help you focus on the present, reduce negative emotions, and improves self-awareness when done right.
- Journal: Journaling is a great way to prioritize and analyze your goals, challenges, and concerns. Try to keep a daily log and journal things you’re grateful for or your future goals you want to achieve.
- Read: Reading in the morning is better for information retention. Here are recommendations for fall reads: The Power of Now and When You Were Mine.
- Work Out: Start your day with a small workout session. You can find free workout videos online or sign up for on-demand workout classes with Mighty Pilates.
- Morning Stroll – Get your steps in bright and early with a pumpkin spice latte in hand! Enjoy the sights and sounds of nature as you take in the crisp autumn air. After your walk, come back inside and cozy up on the couch with a good book or your favorite show.
