Hey Friends!

I’m so excited to share with you my journey of building intentional morning and evening routines. These routines are not just about ticking off boxes but about rerooting into my feminine essence and creating feminine foundations for a life filled with peace and pleasure. Though I had routines before, it wasn’t until I became intentional that my mornings and nights transformed into meaningful rituals of self-care and joy.

My Morning Routine: An Intentional Start

My morning routine begins with stretching, sipping on coffee or matcha, and indulging in a bit of reading or podcast listening. Let’s break it down:

1. Stretching for Movement and Healing:
A few years ago, I had a painful experience with sciatica, and that taught me the importance of daily stretching. It started as a necessity but has now become a loving way to connect with my body. I’ve added in a little yoga to my routine as well, making this movement practice even more fulfilling. This is more than just movement; it’s how I ground myself for the day ahead.

2. Coffee or Matcha as a Ritual:
Instead of rushing through my coffee-making process, I’ve learned to slow down and savor the experience. I take time to enjoy every step, from stirring my favorite creamer to choosing the perfect cup. This moment of mindfulness allows me to be fully present and appreciate the simple pleasures in life.

3. Reading or Podcast Listening:
I love starting my day with something mentally stimulating. Whether I’m reading a book or diving into a podcast, I ensure that I’m consuming content that adds value to my day. I’ve learned that it’s important to be intentional about what I let into my mental space—no mindless gossip or empty scrolling. I want to start my day with something that lifts me up.

4. Journaling for Clarity:
My journaling isn’t structured or forced; it’s a free-flowing reflection of whatever I need in the moment. Sometimes I map out ideas for blog posts, and other times I work through emotions or challenges. It’s a space where I can be honest with myself and connect with my thoughts.

My Evening Routine: Preparing for Peace

My evening routine is all about preparing for the next day and unwinding from the current one. Here’s what it looks like:

1. Preparing Lunch for the Next Day:
I prioritize eating healthy, unprocessed foods, so I make sure to prepare my lunch for the next day. This simple act ensures that I’m taking care of my body and setting myself up for success.

2. Removing Makeup with Care:
Sitting at my dressing table and removing my makeup is more than just a chore; it’s a moment to reconnect with myself. I use reusable poofs and rose water, taking my time to nourish my skin and speak kind words to myself.

3. Scented Lotions and Perfume:
One of my favorite parts of my night routine is putting on lotion or perfume before bed. Even though it’s just me, it makes me feel good to go to bed smelling amazing. This act of self-love is a reminder that I deserve to feel good, even when no one is around.

4. Falling Asleep to Soothing Sounds:
Nine times out of ten, I fall asleep listening to something calming, like lo-fi music, affirmations, or audio activations. I’m careful about what I allow into my mind as I drift off because I know that what I listen to influences my mindset and how I wake up the next morning.

These routines have become essential to me not just because they are good habits, but because they help me reconnect to my feminine essence. They help me slow down, be present, and focus on how I feel in each moment. The routines you create don’t have to be complicated, but they should be intentional, rooted in how you want to feel and who you want to be.
