3 CONFIDENCE BOOSTING MORNING ROUTINES YOU CAN DO IN UNDER 20 MINUTES
3 CONFIDENCE BOOSTING MORNING ROUTINES YOU CAN DO IN UNDER 20 MINUTES

When I first became a coach, I forced myself to do elaborate, 2–3 hour morning routines involving journaling, meditating, yoga, visualisation and a whole host of other mindset tools.

This was great for a while but I soon realised I was spending more time prepping for the day than actually living it. I also found it hard to be consistent with such a jam packed ritual.

I even forced myself to become part of the 5am club which didn’t last long when I finally accepted the fact I’m not - and never will be - a morning person.

Now, I like to keep things simple. The first 20 minutes of the day are for me. I don’t check my phone, I don’t scroll on socials, I try not to talk to anyone.

I find it quite amusing that the day after I got the idea for a blog post about getting out of a funk, I wake up in a funk myself.

When I talk about being in a funk, I mean:

  • Feeling frustrated or overwhelmed

  • Struggling to make even the simplest decisions

Here are my tips for getting yourself out of a funk, fast:

FROM BEING STUCK TO SLAYING YOUR GOALS: HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

Being stuck is the worst, isn't it?

Whilst it definitely is a mental thing, it can feel physically draining.

You don't wanna get out of bed.

You don't wanna switch off the Netflix.

You don't wanna open up your to do list because OMG I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

But there comes a point where you have to make a choice: get yourself out of the mud or sink into the quicksand and disappear forever.

However appealing the quicksand may feel right now, I urge you to go for option A.

TACKLE IMPOSTER SYNDROME IN 10 SIMPLE STEPS
TACKLE IMPOSTER SYNDROME IN 10 SIMPLE STEPS

Imposter syndrome is common amongst social media managers and can be a huge reason for why we’re not signing the clients we want, showing up online or charging our worth. 

When I started my business as a social media manager in 2017, I’d never heard of imposter syndrome. 

But I was experiencing a lot of self doubt, thoughts of ‘who am I to be doing this?’, worrying constantly that the (great) results I was getting for clients weren’t good enough and when I was finding things simple and easy to do, I felt like a fraud.
