If You Want to Change Your Life, Start With Your Morning
If You Want to Change Your Life… Start With Your Morning
The other day I caught myself smiling while lighting my incense, sipping my mate, and watching the sky slowly shift colors.
It hit me:
This is the life I used to crave.
Not the big milestones — but this exact moment.
Quiet. Present. Powerful.
---
We hear it everywhere:
“If you want to change your life, change your mornings.”
And honestly? I used to roll my eyes too.
Like sure… as if a candle and a journal could fix my entire life.
But here’s the thing — it doesn’t fix everything.
It builds something.
Something sacred.
Something steady.
It connects me to her — the version of me I’m choosing to become every single day.
---
My mornings are non-negotiable now.
Not because it’s trendy or part of some productivity hack…
But because they remind me I’m in charge of how my day begins — and that energy carries into everything else.
Even if you have to wake up 30 minutes earlier than your family… before the noise starts…
Even if it’s just 15 minutes in the beginning… take it.
I get it — it’s not always easy.
Some days I choose to wake up before the whole house starts buzzing, just to have a full hour to myself.
That kind of silence?
It won’t happen again during the day.
Because once the world is awake — once the messages come in, the scrolling starts, the to-dos kick in — the energy changes.
You’re no longer in your own rhythm.
You’re already reacting. Already giving. Already doing the things you “have to do” — instead of the ones you choose to do.
---
But when the world is still asleep… the air is different.
There’s room for magic.
The kind you create.
The kind that only shows up when you sit with yourself, undistracted.
When you check in and ask: Who do I want to be today?
That version of you — the empowered one, the grounded one, the grateful one who sets boundaries and leads with intention —
she gets to show up when you make space for her.
---
And that space? It starts in the morning.
Just a few quiet minutes, every day.
So if you’re reading this, maybe this is your reminder:
You can start now.
Doesn’t have to be perfect.
Just intentional.
You can change your life — one sunrise at a time.
And I’ll be here, cheering you on with my morning mate in hand.
