Magical Morning Routine Ideas
Rise when your alarm goes off and try not to hit snooze too many times.
Hitting the snooze too many times can actually make you more tired, less enthusiastic about your day, and usually you wished you hadn’t hit it. Well maybe just once is okay!
Recite 3 affirmations for your day before getting out of bed.
Before even getting out of bed close your eyes and recite to yourself three things you would like to manifest in your day. It could be happiness, abundance, success, anything that will help you have a positive and motivated attitude first thing in the morning.
Give your body a morning stretch.
We are all stiff first thing in the morning. Take even 20 seconds and stretch out those muscles that will be working hard for you all day long.
Add a glass of magical lemon water to your morning routine.
Warm lemon water helps to stimulate digestion and is alkalizing to the body. Not to mention, it carries properties of longevity, clarity, and happiness.
Have a healthy breakfast such as a power smoothie or oatmeal.
Starting your day with the appropriate fuel is incredibly important to help set the stage for a healthy day in front of you. You will feel accomplished and energetic knowing you fed your body well.
And breakfast foods have some wonderful magical properties like oats for wealth or blueberries for peace and abundance. Never miss an opportunity to utilize your magic!
Set intentions for the day with your morning beverage.
I like to do coffee intention setting in the morning before starting my day. That first drink of coffee is a really relaxing moment (for me anyways! Lol.), so I use it to my advantage.
Assure you’re feeling calm and relaxed and as you sip your morning beverage think about what you would like to accomplish in your day. Take just a couple minutes of quiet, uninterrupted time sipping your beverage and focusing on these intentions.
Perform a meditation.
Starting your day with a meditation can be extremely beneficial for balancing and centring yourself for the day ahead. Meditating in the morning also encourages relaxation, mental clarity, and focus which can lead to a more productive and joyful day.
Do a morning workout.
Workouts are one of the best ways to boost your mood, increase confidence, improve your physical health, and give you an energy boost to start your day. If you have the time get in a quick bit of exercise, even just 15 minutes of movement can get your day on the right track.
Make it a part of your magical practice by burning incense, enchanting your water, or placing crystals around your space.
Do a daily card pull.
A daily card pull, either oracle or tarot, can provide just the right amount of insight and clarity to make your day as successful as it can be.
Spend a few minutes journaling.
Journaling is an incredible way to release negativity, focus your thoughts, and ease a stressful mind. It can also help to focus your energies and thoughts towards what you wish to accomplish during the day and even weeks to come.
Choose which crystals you will wear.
I always love matching the crystals I wear with the intentions I have for the day. I also have a couple of staples that are worn each day without fail.
Glamour magick blends in seamlessly with a morning routine.
While you are doing your hair or putting on make-up focus your thoughts and visualize how you want to see yourself; confident, strong, intelligent, beautiful. If you see yourself in a certain light others will as well.
Glamour magic can help you reflect these desires onto the world and your inner self resulting in higher productivity, increased happiness, and more confidence.
Burn an incense that matches your intentions.
While you’re meditating, or getting ready, choose an incense that matches your intentions and burn it while you move through your routine. Allow it’s plant properties to invigorate your mind, soothe your soul, and provide an extra boost of power to manifest your desired day.
Things to Keep in Mind When Planning Your Magical Morning Routine
Now this list may seem like a lot so don’t think you have to include every single item in your routine. Pick the ones that really speak to you and if some days you only have time to include one or two things that is okay! Do them with full commitment. Including one thing is always better than scrapping your routine all together.
This is for you, to improve your day, and the things you include should resonate with you. Any amount of time you can take for yourself is time very well spent.
