The Power of a Daily Routine: My Simple Morning and Evening Habits for Better Focus, Energy, Mood, and Sleep

Written By Tanya Ellie

EPISODE #7 — SEPT 27, 2024

In this episode, I share my morning and evening routines, which help bring stability and balance to my day. I begin by recapping my recent trip to Tunisia and France, share some of my natural tips for jet lag, and talk about how I adjust back to a routine after traveling. I start with my morning routine, including my favorite way to meditate, my morning skincare routine, and what I eat for breakfast. Plus the one key aspect of my morning routine that completely shifted my mental and physical health. Then, I get into my evening routine and how I wind down my nervous system for a good night's sleep. I highly recommend a daily routine for better focus, energy, mood, digestion, immunity, and sleep. You can find a resource for creating your own morning and evening routine as a part of my online course.
