And through this series I’m going to help you create your own morning routine that makes you excited about life, excited about waking up to a brand new day, because if that’s not the point, than what is?

also holy sh** I just made a discovery in real time. Every step of my morning i’m getting a reward! As someone with ADHD I've hacked it. I’ve figured out how to really get that dopamine throughout the whole morning - that’s why I love it so much. It’s a habit loop.

Cue → craving → response → reward (you gotta read Atomic Habits!!!)

Some ideas of feelings + actions that go with it.

Your homework for this segment.

Before building your morning routine, ask yourself.

“How do I want to feel”

Then choose rituals that naturally create that feeling.

That’s how a morning routine becomes personal; because no two people need to feel exactly the same to have a great day!!!!! (See you don’t have to wake up at 4am too lol)

The Habit Tracker; this has really changed the game for me. I started the trackers when I did 75 hard last year (absolutely life changing in so many ways) and it really did keep me on track. This year I got really serious about it and it’s really helped me stay on game and has even gotten me to fall in love with the habits that were once just goals. (like I’m a little obsessed now in the best way)

Don’t overwhelm yourself, you wanna add enough to wear your stretching yourself but not to much so that you become so overwhelmed you end up not accomplishing any of it. (speaking from experience)

I recommend also using a highlighter to mark when you’ve completed a task. It makes habit tracking more pleasurable because it turns an abstract accomplishment into a visible, physical reward. It’s basically a very small habit loop:

Complete habit → highlight tracker → feel rewarded → become more likely to repeat it.

If you want to learn more about this concept I recommend reading Atomic Habits, one of my all time favorite books. Top 3 for anyone trying to level up their life.

Each month I do a monthly audit, and the trackers have helped because I can actually see what I did and didn’t do. When you don’t have any tangible goals or anything tracking them, there’s simply no way to actually measure and figure out whats working, what’s not and why. The monthly audit is the exciting part because you really get to decide what you want to create and how you can make this happen based on last months goals. It’s simply feedback, and feedback is always great because it’s how you can improve!

I hope this is as useful to you as it’s been to me.

Love Yesenia.
