Morning Routine Checklist

Whether you're a morning person or not, this one's for you! No one talks about it much but Jenn found it for us, scientifically, what happens to make us wake up, why we're more groggy some days and a bit of the body's biology upon waking. From there, Jenn translates it all into how we can design our perfect mornings. As much as there's a checklist, Jenn advises us to think about it more like a menu. Offering us the categories we want to hit and options for each, it's all here! Jenn shares her morning routine and asks the question: What's required for your daily on-ramp?     Outline:Welcome back & welcome back, LaurenIntro today’s topicThe role of genetics in difficulty waking upScience of how we wake upSodium & potassium channelsThe Reticular Activating System (RAS)Why you're more groggy on some daysKey factors of our biology upon waking up to inform our morning routinesDehydrationSetting your circadian rhythmBrain tying up loose endsCortisol & dopamine are highMuscles frozen overnight...movementThe snooze buttonConnection to evening routinesRemember willpowerThe role of routines & structureBlue zonesLess checklist, more menuHow much time do you have?Stages of life impacts morning routinesThe on-rampChoose your pieces from the menuThe menuWake-up - time, the alarm, how to solve the snoozeLight - sunlight, blue lightMake your bedFresh airWater & vitaminsMovementFeed your mind - music, books, podcasts, meditation, journaling, gratitudeQuality nutritionHal Elrod's Miracle Morning, SAVERS acronymKey elements: stand, lights, breathe, move, waterTips to make it happenLinks:Become a MemberConnect with us!
