A Morning Routine That Fits in 20 Minutes
A gentle, repeatable routine for calmer mornings without waking up at 5 a.m.
When mornings feel rushed, the trick is not more steps but fewer decisions. This routine focuses on momentum and simple cues instead of a long checklist.
The 20-minute flow
- Minute 1-3: Open a window, take three slow breaths, and drink a full glass of water.
- Minute 4-9: Light movement: easy stretches or a short walk around the room.
- Minute 10-14: Make something warm, even if it is just tea.
- Minute 15-20: Pick one intention for the day and write it down.
The key is repetition. Keep the same order every day and your body will do the rest.
