Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, everyone, welcome back to Distracted on Purpose, your
daily dose of real talk, insights, and a whole lot
of energy to kick start your day. I'm Logan Cruz,
and let's be honest, mornings can be a bit like
that jar of pickles you keep forgetting about in the
back of the fridge. Sometimes good, sometimes funky, but always unexpected.
(00:22):
But what if we could flip the script. What if
we could build a morning routine so awesome it sets
us up for success, like we're already winning before nine
a m. Even hits. That's exactly what we're diving into today, because,
let's face it, we all know that feeling you hit
snooze one too many times, scramble out of bed, and
(00:44):
somehow manage to trip over your own feet on the
way to coffee. It's a recipe for starting the day
on a shaky note, right, But imagine waking up feeling energized, focused,
and ready to conquer the world. That's the magic of
a well crafted morning routine. And trust me, I'm not
talking about those instagram worthy rituals with ten steps and
(01:07):
three different types of yoga poses. This is about practical
strategies that actually work for real life. So here are
five key takeaways to help you build a morning routine
that's more morning MVP than Monday meltdown. Number one, prioritize sleep,
my friends. I know it sounds obvious, but truly, getting
(01:30):
those seven eight hours of shut eye is the foundation
of everything. Think of it like charging your phone. You
wouldn't expect to power through a whole day on ten
percent battery. Right, saying goes for us humans. Next up,
we got to talk about hydration. Start your day with
a big glass of water. It rehydrates your body after
(01:50):
sleep and gets those juices flowing. You know that feeling
when you wake up feeling parched, that's your body screaming
for some h Two. Oh, now on to something I'm
really passionate about. Movement. Don't overthink it. Even a quick
ten minute walk or some light stretching can make a
world of difference. It gets your blood pumping, boosts your
(02:13):
energy levels, and sets the tone for an active day.
Remember it doesn't have to be a grueling workout, just
something to get you moving. Speaking of setting the tone,
number four is about mindful moments. Take a few minutes
for yourself before diving into emails or social media. It
could be meditation, journaling, or simply enjoying a cup of
(02:36):
coffee in silence. This helps ground you and sets your
intentions for the day. You know what I'm saying, Start
with intention, not just frantic activity, and last, but definitely
not least, plan something you look forward to. It could
be a delicious breakfast, listening to your favorite podcast, or
(02:57):
having that coffee date you've been meaning to catch up on.
Having something positive to anticipate makes waking up way more
bearable and gives you that little extra push of motivation.
Let me tell you, I used to be the king
of hitting snooze, stumbling through my mornings like a zombie.
But then I realize the power of a good routine.
(03:19):
Now I wake up feeling energized, focused and ready to
tackle anything ever felt stuck in that midday slump, like
your energy just crashes around two p m. It's almost
a universal experience. You know that feeling when you're struggling
to stay awake during meetings or just can't seem to
focus on finishing that project. I've been there, trust me.
(03:43):
But here's the thing. It's often directly linked to our
morning habits or lack thereof. Think about it. If you
start your day with a rushed breakfast, skipping hydration and
diving straight in distressful tasks, you're essentially setting yourself up
for a crack later on. It's like driving a car
on empty. Eventually the engine is going to sputter and die.
(04:08):
But by prioritizing sleep, hydration, movement, and mindful moments in
the morning, you create a solid foundation for sustained energy
throughout the day. And hey, if you're feeling adventurous, try
adding something new to your routine. Maybe it's learning a
few words of a new language, practicing a short meditation,
(04:29):
or even just taking a different route to work. A
little change can go a long way in keeping things
interesting and inspiring. So remember, building a successful morning routine
isn't about perfection. It's about finding what works best for
you and making it a consistent part of your life.
Start small, be patient with yourself, and most importantly, have
(04:52):
fun with it. Because when you feel good in the morning,
everything else just seems to fall into place. And before

biggest morning challenge is. Maybe I can offer some tips
in an upcoming episode. Until then, keep it real and
(05:14):
keep on hustling. Created with AI Magic to deliver your
