Since launching IMBY, I have been writing for lots of blogs, contributing content for the IMBY blog, and focusing on business operations. And where does that leave this blog, my place for personal thoughts and exploration? Unfortunately I haven’t been showing much love here.
Instead of focusing on ethical fashion on this blog, I will now be featuring more content on the technical side of that topic over on IMBY’s blog. Here I will be focusing on my personal journey with ethical fashion, with capsule wardrobes, and as an entrepreneur striving to use business for societal change.
My last post (though awhile ago!) was on my new years resolutions, and one of them was to create a morning routine. Lately I have been experiencing the opposite of everything I strive for in a morning: wake up, check my emails, scroll through Instagram, watch tv, stay in bed answering emails. Where does it leave me? Starting off my day with clutter, a mess of a mindset, and ultimately less energy.
So, starting tomorrow I am committing to a new, energizing morning routine. Here’s what I landed on, starting from when I wake up:
- 10 minutes of journaling
- 10 minutes of yoga
- 10 minutes of meditation
- Get dressed from my capsule wardrobe (yes, I started my own! I will fill you in more on that later)
- Drink a glass of hot water with lemon
- Eat breakfast: Avocado toast, eggs, or smoothie
- No phone near my bed
- Wake up by 8am every week day
- No tv when I go to sleep or wake up
- No checking email until my morning routine is done
I am excited to kick this off! Who else out there has committed to a specific morning routine? What have you learned? What has worked best?
