Wake Up With Izzy Utterson
Your morning routine is essential as a result of your mind is in theta-alpha frequency on waking, making it extremely vulnerable to new programming and constructive ideas. Morning cortisol ranges are additionally naturally elevated, which boosts alertness and psychological readability for intention practice- so I LOVE my routine that units me as much as set up constructive neural pathways that take me via the day.
6 AM
I get up and use Mel Robbins’ 5-4-3-2-1 technique to stand up on the primary alarm (one thing I’ve actually needed to be taught to do will not be hit snooze). Throughout winter, I take advantage of a Hatch alarm clock, which has been a sport changer.
The primary 5 minutes of the day, when our brains are in theta-alpha, are important, so I don’t contact my telephone, as a substitute, I hit play on a constructive affirmations playlist and go about preparing. This reinforces constructive self-concept and self-image.
RITUALS
I then dry brush utilizing my Skinny Confidential Dry Brush earlier than showering. That is superb for lymphatic drainage and delicate exfoliation to begin the day and get every part shifting!
After this, I’ll make my loaded morning water, a.okay.a Lauryn’s SEXY WATER, my final behavior stack utilizing the Magnificence Salt. I take another dietary supplements with this, after which I’ll make a matcha- I’ve changed espresso with Matcha and a decaf mushroom mix to scale back my anxiousness and set me up for the day.
EXERCISE
My exercises then are both a reformer class or weight coaching, an extended stroll or considered one of Pilates By Bryony’s workouts- UNREAL! Since changing HIIT and cardio with resistance and weights, my physique has reworked.
BREAKFAST
After my exercise, I’ll head residence to make a high-protein breakfast- both a loaded yogurt bowl with Kind protein powder or eggs, smoked salmon and avocado on sourdough. I are inclined to go for related meals so I can plan forward.
SKINCARE + MAKEUP
Earlier than doing my skincare and make-up for the day, I’ll all the time use both my TSC Ice Curler, Face Massager or Mint Curler (generally all three relying on the degrees of puffiness haha) earlier than doing my easy morning skincare and *all the time* making use of my SPF. I like TSC’s as a result of it incorporates caffeine, so not solely does it give me a beautiful glow, however I all the time really feel like I look a lot extra awake and refreshed. Since utilizing SPF each day, I’ve seen such a constructive shift in my pores and skin’s general texture and tone.
DRESSING WITH INTENTION
I then dress with intention, who do I need to be and the way do I need to present up right now? I all the time take into consideration the dream model of me and ask myself “Would she put on this?” I attempt to present up because the dream me not less than as soon as a day and dressing is essentially the most enjoyable manner outdoors of routine!
WORK
I begin my work day round 9am, which is normally a bunch of conferences, planning occasions or creating content material, which I like. My morning routine units me up so nicely for the entire chaos, as no day is ever the identical!
