I used to wake up like I was being shot out of a cannon. No joke. My mornings were all chaos, snoozing my alarm three times, jumping out of bed already stressed, scarfing down breakfast (if I even had time), and rushing into the day with my brain still half asleep. I thought that was just how mornings were supposed to be. Everyone around me seemed to be doing the same, so I figured it was normal.
But normal doesn’t always mean healthy.
The Wake-Up Call I Didn’t Expect
What I didn’t realize back then was how much that fast-paced start was disrupting my entire day. I was always feeling behind, anxious, and disconnected, like I was running on autopilot. I didn’t feel grounded. I didn’t feel present. I was just… going.
Then one morning it hit differently.
I woke up with a headache. My stomach felt off. I had zero motivation. I sat on the edge of my bed, phone in hand, scrolling through random posts I didn’t even care about. And then it hit me:
What am I even doing?
That moment of stillness felt like my body was finally yelling: slow down. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. It was subtle, but it was real. And it was enough to make me rethink everything.
What I Tried Instead
The next morning, I gave myself an extra 30 minutes. No phone. No rush.
I made a warm mug of chamomile tea with a little honey, simple, cozy. While it steeped, I sat quietly and just breathed. Deep, real breaths. It felt awkward at first, but also grounding in a way I hadn’t felt in ages.
Then I opened a notebook and started writing. Nothing deep or poetic. Just whatever was on my mind. A few sentences turned into more. I felt lighter. More here.
Over time, this became my morning rhythm: tea, breathwork, and journaling.
But that’s not all I changed. I started paying attention to how I fueled my body too. I used to skip breakfast or grab a sugary snack, only to crash mid-morning. So I began mixing Greens37 into a smoothie or water. It was quick, clean, and made from real, food-based ingredients.
Just one scoop gave my body something solid to start the day with—something real.
What Changed (And What Didn’t)
I didn’t become a perfect person overnight, and that’s not the goal. The difference was how I felt. My mornings started to feel like mine again. My anxiety slowed down. My brain felt clearer. My energy felt steady, not from caffeine or panic, but from actually caring for myself.
Even my skin looked better, which, honestly, felt like a bonus.
What surprised me most was how much more focused, patient, and present I was during the day. It wasn’t about having the perfect morning—it was about giving myself space to breathe, to check in, and to take care of my body and mind.

If You’re Still in the Chaos, Start Here
If your mornings feel like a race you didn’t sign up for, please know this: you don’t have to keep living that way. You can slow down, even just for five minutes.
Make some tea. Breathe. Write down how you feel. You don’t need a fancy ritual or a new personality. Just start small. Start real.
And if you’re not sure where to begin, take this as a sign: try adding one real thing into your morning, something that feeds your body, not just your schedule.
You might be surprised at what shifts from there.
