7 Morning Rituals For A Productive Day From The Whimsy Soul Team (Plus 12 Morning Routine Essentials!)

In the last couple of years, I’ve been working on fine tuning my morning routine. Drawing inspiration from podcasts like Healthier Together, books like Atomic Habits and lots of YouTube videos, I feel I’ve found my groove.

My biggest learning has been the things that work for others might not work best for me. I’ve also found it really helps as a form of “habit stacking” to ensure I make time for things that make me feel good and in turn make me more productive. While I have a general practice down, my morning routine still ebbs and flows as inspiration strikes.

For example, I added a daily yoga practice back in January following Yoga with Adriene’s 30 Day Yoga Journey, and I love her monthly calendars. As life got busier in the past couple months, my yoga practice has faltered, but I’m working to add it back in the mix!
