Speaker 2 (01:00):
Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Hello, my loves, Welcome to another episode of the Rise
and Conquer Podcast. It is your host Georgie Stephenson, and
today we are getting into morning routines. I know the
team is going to call this episode, you know, something
like morning routine of a millionaire or something. You know,
something that's gonna entice you click baity. Of course, we
(01:28):
do smart marketing here at RNC, but I guess I
wanted to do this episode because sometimes we can really
get stuck in the mentality that it's like, if i
just have the right morning routine, then I'm going to
be successful this year, or nighttime routine, etcetera, etcetera. And definitely,
(01:50):
routines are so helpful. I feel like I'm definitely a
routine galley. Routines can be amazing to create discipline and habits.
The thing, though, I want you to really think about,
is just when we're creating a routine for ourselves, for
our life, for you know, basically to make our life better,
(02:13):
to achieve our goals, we are creating them from a
place of improving our lives. They're moving the needle forward.
But I find sometimes people will create routines and it's
kind of like just ticking things off a box. I
used to be like very rigid with my routine, and
(02:37):
when I woke up and when I went to work,
I was actually having a conversation with my new content
creator around how when I first had Ivy, when I
went back to work, even though I had, you know,
a very fresh baby and I was a new working mum,
I would still get to the office at seven point thirty.
(02:59):
And the whole thing was, it's like, because I had
always started work at that time and because I was
like most productive in the morning, but you know, I
was a new new mum, so it's like it was
very stressful to get to work, and I would get
to work and like my quarters I would be so
high and then like I'd crash at ten am, and
it's like I was trying to again. It's like, just
do things for the sake of doing things because maybe
(03:20):
they previously served me, or because you know, maybe you've
seen someone else do them.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
But the thing about routines.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And making things that work for you is actually embodying
them and like integrating them and really being like does
this serve me? Like is this optimizing my days? This
moving the needle forward? Is this giving me the outcome
that I want? You know, I'll get people who are
(03:50):
like I just I don't know how you can wake
up early. I just struggle so much. I'm a night owl.
I'm like awake till you know, eleven pm met night,
and then I try to get early and blah blah,
and I'm like, why are you trying to get up early?
I get up early because it is so easy for
me because I am the most productive I actually have
(04:10):
like the best brain capacity in the morning.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Like, if you told me.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
To try and write like Instagram captions or something for
a launch page at eleven pm at night, there's just
no way I could do it because my brain just
doesn't work that way. But I know there's so many
people who get their best, most creative work done at night,
and like you know, maybe they don't have children, or
their children go to bed, and it's like.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Perfect for them.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So if you are that person, it's about honoring that
part of yourself that's maybe a bit unconventional, maybe not
like everyone else on Instagram, and they're not.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Trying to wake up early. We all know we need sleep.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
So that's like my biggest kind of like pet hate
with sharing my routines. And it's reason why I haven't
really done a routine, you know, on my podcast or
anything like that in a while actually, because I think
when you tell people, oh, this is my routine, they
will just try and do it, not really understand themselves
(05:13):
and do that kind of self inquiry to be like
is this for me?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
That was kind of like the caveat for this episode.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I am going to tell you my routine, but again
I'm going to tell you why I do things, and
my routine.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Is very flexible, very adaptable.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I have a three year old, so when I was
the first time mum, I tried to like basically do
the same routine. It really fucked with me and it
really made me feel like a failure because I couldn't
really do it most of the time because I had
a newborn, which like.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Now makes complete sense for me.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
But we can really get stark in the well, it
has to be this way otherwise I'm not successful, you know,
have got my life together. And also such a hack
is being able to be a person where even if
you don't do your routine, you don't.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Make it mean something.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
You don't make it mean I'm gonna have a shit day,
I'm a failure, I've ruined the.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Whole day, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
So really just have that all in your brain when
you listen to this episode. So firstly, I do wake
up super early, but again that's because I go to
bed super early. So I'm going to bed eight pm
most nights, and that's because I sleep with my three
year old toddler.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
She goes to the bed.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
The same time as me and Jim now and she
never used to sleep with us, but I think she
turned about two and a half.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
And her level in.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Our house we actually have like a sixth leveled house,
which is just ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Now that I'm saying it.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It is on a hill, so it's like it has
so many levels, and look, it does have an elevator,
so it's not like completely just walk out stairs all
the time, but her level weird, like the master bedroom
is right at the top, and then the middle level
is like the living and the dining and the TV
room and the laundry, and then her level is underneath that.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
So if she does have.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
A nightmare or whatnot, and she was at the point
where she was like jumping out of her cot, you know,
she has to walk up two flights of stairs, and
that made me feel really uncomfortable. And she did do
that a couple of times, where she'd sleep in our
bed and then I'd put her step back down to
her bed, and then she would like run up during
the night, and it just made me feel really uncomfortable
(07:35):
her having to walk up so many stairs because they
wooden stairs too, they're not carpet stairs like I had
growing up. Side note and so she just sleeps for
us now, and it just makes me feel better in
saying that she has slept through the night from when
she was like twelve weeks old until she was two
and a half.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So I am just counting my lucky stars for that.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And I really love her sleeping with us now, Like
I feel like it's really like bonded.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
All three of us because we all sleep together.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And I've even noticed that kind of like tweaks in
her personality of like she used to just go off
to kindy, wouldn't hear a peat from her? She's like,
see her mom runs to her friends and whatnot. It's
really interesting since she's been sleeping with us, she's so
much more clingy, Like she's like, I don't want to
go to kindy. I want to stay with you. And
I'm like, who is this Chiles's And it's really sweet
(08:26):
and I swear it's because you know, we all sleep together.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
That was a massive rant.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Anyway, coming back to it again, and see, this is
a thing. I used to have, this whole night time
routine that had to change because I have a toddles
sleeping with me now, and I used to journal and
do all this stuff in bed, but because once we
go to bed, we coney need to go straight to
sleep because otherwise she's up too late. I've had to
change my whole night time routine, which is another podcast.
(08:52):
But I'm going to bed around eight pm, so I
naturally do just.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Wake up at like four am. After eight hours.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
My body just kind of naturally wakes up, so I
do find I'm waking up around four am. If Tim
is going to gym, because we do swap days, so
he goes to gym on Mondays and Thursdays. So on Monday,
he goes to gym a bit later, and I actually
go to gym earlier, and then on Thursdays I don't
(09:20):
go to gym because he wants to do a certain class.
So on Thursdays when Tim goes to gym, I wake
up and I literally just read my book, and I'm
reading my book until Ivy wakes up. So sometimes I
can be like two hours, which honestly is great because
I'm a big fancy reader. But if sorry I am
going to gym, I am waking up at that time
and I'm either doing like a five am class or
(09:42):
a six am class, and I go straight into my
movement before. Something new that I'm trying to do in
twenty twenty five or I am doing, is I'm having
bone broth and lemon water when I first get up.
I'm having that before I have pre workout. Now again
you might think that's like a lot to it, but again,
(10:04):
I'm waking up at four am. So honestly, if my
class isn't until five point fifteen, I've got time. And
so I wake up. I have a bit of bone broth.
The brand is like Jevity bone broth, and it's just
like a tablespoon I mixing in some water. I have that.
It kind of tastes like you're having like a soup.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's not bad.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
So I have that, and that's just for my gut health.
I then make myself a lemon water.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Again.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I know there's a lot of controversial things about lemon water.
I do it for the vitamin sea and growing up,
my mom was. My mom's like a big health nut,
and she has always done lemon water for vitamin CEA,
getting her digestive system going and whatnot. And I didn't
do it for years, and then once she stayed with
(10:49):
us Christmas, I was doing it with her and it's
just like I love I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I love the taste of it.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I love like the freshness of it, and it does
make me feel so good. So I've been doing lemon water.
And then if I am doing hard you know, gym class,
I will do pre workout. Otherwise I won't do pre workout. Also,
if I have like a bit of a stressful day planned,
or I know I've got back to back meetings, I
will skip the pre workout because caffeine is going to
(11:21):
not disregulate you, but it's going to add to dysregulation.
So just being very conscious of how much caffeine you
have is very very important. So I'm only having pre
workout when I'm like, I know I'm going to burn
it off and I know I need it, and then
I always do some sort of movement. I then will
always grab like coffees for me and Tim.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
And then I'm going home and I'm making breakfast straight away.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Again I'm trying to have what I am having breakfast
for I have any coffee breakfast is always in a
high protein option, So me and Ivy love having like
eggs on toast with a protein smoothie. Or I'll just
make like a protein smoothie, but like chuck a whole
(12:05):
heap of things.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
In it to make it a bit more carbi.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Otherwise, I've been loving over the Christmas holidays. I was
having these like burritos. I was getting these like gluten
free wraps and doing like egg and mushroom and like
all the things are it and got it was yummy
and like halloomy and all those yummy things. So I'm
always making a cooked breakfast at home. I had this
(12:29):
thing because at Naked Harvest, a lot of people do
start at seven point thirty. I had this thing that
I was like, I need to be in the office
starting at the same time as them. But it would
mean I'd have to eat my breakfast in the car.
It would mean I'd have to like not have breakfast
with my family. And because I'm really clear on my
values and also the top value is family, I was
(12:52):
just like, that actually doesn't make sense, Doorgia, because first
of all, you own your own business, so you don't
actually have a start time. So now I really make
it a thing where it's like me and Ivy make
breakfast together. We always like create her in smoothies or
like I put her on the bench and she does
her own toast. And I really make this a moment
because I am a working mom, so I don't spend
(13:12):
the day with her. I really make this a moment
of like me and her time. And so also if
you think of digestion, your digestion, if you are constantly
just like piling food in and you're not letting your
digestive system know that it's like safe to digest and
like it's okay to absorb all the nutrients, you won't
(13:33):
be absorbing all the nutrients. Sometimes it's like almost a
waste of eating because you're not absorbing the nutrients and
you've just made this like beautiful, healthy meal, Like you're
very health conscious, but because you're so stressed or you're
eating the car or whatnot, you're not actually having the
health conscious effect.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
That you want.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
So that's something new to I'm very conscious of, like
sitting down and eating, and I make it like a
point of spending time with Ivy and Tim, So always
that and also during this time, the first thing I
do with the lemon water is fill up my water
bottle and I'm making sure I'm drinking a lot of
water during this time. So what have we done movement nourishment,
(14:20):
So then like I'll go get changed. The last component
of my morning routine is my mindset work. So this
for me at the moment always involves a meditation. Meditation
has just absolutely changed my life. I love guided meditations
that are very intentional with how I want to feel.
(14:44):
So we do meditations on the Rise app and again
they're guided and very intentional. So it's like, I want
to feel grounded, I want to regulate myself, I want
to feel inspired, I want to feel motivated. So I
just scroll through Rise and we literally have created a
meditation or a pep talk for every scenario like whether
(15:07):
you're manifesting, whether you're downing yourself, whether you need some
self love, confidence.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
And so I always pick a guided meditation of what's
the outcome that I want. So maybe I am feeling
a little bit like insecure, or maybe I am feeling
a little bit disregulated, you know, not hopeful, or you
know insert whatever, So I would, yeah, put on a
(15:35):
very intentional meditation, sit and do that. I always do
this either if I have enough time, I will like
leave home and go to the beach, whether I am
actually sitting on the beach like on a park bench,
or in my car just looking at the beach.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Otherwise I just do.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
This in my car at work, so do my meditation.
So the meditation is really about regular my nervous system.
Because if I'm regulated in the morning, it means that
I can show up to work with a clear mind.
It means when Ivy tests me in the afternoon, I
(16:13):
have space for her and I don't snap. It means,
you know, I'm a bit more compassionate for the people
around me, you know, for tim for my employees. I
can actually make emotionally intelligent decisions and not.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Be ruled by my emotions.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Especially as someone who you know, is female, who is
a working mom, who has two businesses, like I've got
a lot happening all the time, it would be very
easy to let my emotions run the show. I really
see meditation as like it's clearing the gunk and it's
creating this like let's reset, Like let's reset to zero,
(16:56):
so I have capacity to be creative, to you know,
have business ideas, to all.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Those sorts of things.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It's so so important to reset. So that's really what
my meditation is so once I've reset, and then the
next and this is the last part of my morning routine.
So it's literally a four part morning routine.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Is I then am very intentional with my intentions for
the day or my manifestations. So you guys know, I'm
a big manifesto.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
It's the work that I teach and preach. I truly believe.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
It's like, if you're not clear on what you want
and where you're going, you're going nowhere. And I don't
mean that in like a very harsh way and like
a very you need to know all the specifics all
the time. But every morning I either do. I believe
they call this on TikTok like a scripting sort.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Of vibe, but I'm saying it.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I personally call it a rech where I will talk
and I'd usually do this driving, so I put on
some like fun music. Again, I'm like raising my vibration
in the car with some fun music and I will
riff about maybe there's like a certain manifestation I'm trying
to call in, like maybe we are trying to get
(18:19):
a new wholesaler in Naked Harvest, or maybe in Riisaconca
we are launching a new course, and I will riff
on what I want that outcome to be. So you know,
I'll be seeing the car, there'll be music going, and
I'll be like.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Holy shit.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
We had a thousand people sign up to the New
Rise Challenge and everyone was so excited. I loved creating
the content for this. Everyone thought it was so fun
and so a vibe and now everyone is going to
have the most incredible transformation and make meditation stick. And
(19:03):
you know what else. They loved the community aspect of
the app. They loved connecting to like minded people, and
it felt so fucking good for someone to be able to,
you know, connect with this community and to have this
resource and the team.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
We're vibing.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
We didn't have any issues in the back system, and
I would really go off on a tangent of what
I want to happen, or maybe it's like in my
personal life, like me and Tim are going away that weekend,
and I'm like, oh my god. Me and Tim had
the most amazing weekend away.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
We didn't find at all.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
We had the most amazing food, We had such deep conversations.
He asked me amazing questions. I loved chatting to him
about like what I want to accomplish this year.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
There was so much connection. You know, we had great.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Sex, like we and you would like I'd go on
about it in like quite very specific detail of like
how I want to feel and I feel like some
people can think a bit, what if you're setting yourself
up for like disappointment or like it doesn't turn out
that way.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
That's not the point.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
It honestly rarely turns out that way, and that's life.
But you are putting yourself on the vibration of what
you want and how you want to feel, which is
going to always get you closer to that and always
get your juices thinking and your brain thinking to make
that happen. Because your subconscious brain is always trying to
(20:45):
create evidence of what you believe. So like the very
simple explanation of that is like when all of a
sudden you decide you want a white porschem, can you
start seeing them everywhere because your brain is like, well,
that's what she wants and giving her evidence.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And so that's that.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Like people think, oh, it's a coincidence, blah blah blah. No,
it's literally what our subconscious brain does.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
It's like how we're wired. So by you talking about
these concepts that you want, you really going into detail
of how you want to feel and being on the vibration,
your brain will start collecting evidence and showing you evidence
through the day of that.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
So for example, with me and Tim, you know, having
the best weekend, it's like maybe that morning Tim texts
me and it's like, hey, babe, just thinking if you
can't wait for this week and love you so much,
my brain would be like, see, you're going to have
the best weekend, or you know, it's it's going to
start really making sure that. It's like maybe I get
to work and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna buy I'm
(21:49):
going to buy the Rise and Conquer conversation cards for
the for the weekend with Tim, Like it's going to
give you ideas to make that happen. So I am
usually doing more work orientated rifts because these are usually
on the way to work, but otherwise they can be
like really personal, like whatever basically you're manifesting, and I
(22:09):
also just think these are really fun. They honestly, they
do feel weird at the start because you're basically saying
things that not aren't true, but like haven't happened yet
like they.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Have, but trust me, they are so powerful.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I was actually talking to Jamie the other day and
I think I might start including some rifts in the
Rise app because they are like they just they get
me on this vibration. They get me on this vibe
that make me feel so lit up. And you can
feel your frequency changing, like you can feel it lifting
(22:45):
and rising. And that's honestly, like again, i'm driving, I've
got music on, I'm just talking in my car.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It's so easy.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Obviously, you can script and you can write this down.
I just don't really have the time. So that's what
I do, and I love doing that and it just
like it excites me.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
It gets me going. Obviously.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You can also like listen to podcasts or those sorts
of things, and I definitely used to be I currently
am just not consuming that much content, and I think
it's because I'm in a season where I am creating
a lot of my business. You know, it's the start
of the year, and I just find when I'm creating,
(23:26):
I don't like to be like having too much noise.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
So I'm just very conscious.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Right now of just like being in my own vibe
and focusing on those things. But another thing with routines
I did want to bring into this is like this
is my current routine, but it does change and shift,
Like sometimes I'm really making time for like journaling in
the morning if that's what I've got going on, or
like podcasts, or I do listen to podcasts while I
(23:56):
walk sometimes too if I'm not seeing a girlfriend. I
really think your morning routine should be very sacred to
you and have minimal distractions. That's like a huge thing
I'm big on in the morning is like again it's
like very intentional. It's like me family time, my manifestation time.
(24:17):
And then if I've done that morning routine, it's like
it doesn't matter how the day goes because like I've
really like set up the day and so whatever happens happens,
so my loves. That is a bit of an insight.
I hope you got some called downloads. Again, if you
(24:38):
haven't tried a riffing, I am such a big believer
if you have done the project, you would know all
about my riffing. And like I said, I will try
and bring some to the rise app. I've just got
to really think about it because obviously I do them
for very specific scenarios, but I don't know. I feel
like we can make it happen. But I love you
(24:58):
guys so much, and I will tattoo in my next episode. Bye.
Yeah Im
