5 Tips for a Nourishing Morning + GIVEAWAY

March 30, 2015 by Hillary 27 Comments

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Airborne®. While I was compensated to write a post about Airborne® Everyday™, all opinions are my own.


You are either a morning person, or you are not. I am wholeheartedly, 100 percent a morning person – yep, I am one of those people.

Perhaps it is because breakfast is my favorite meal of the day; but, regardless, I see my morning as the foundation of how I create a fresh, new day.

Here are five tips to make your morning an inspiring, peaceful and nourishing time of day:

  1. Begin your day with a fresh glass of H20. This is a newer habit of mine and it helps to rid of any grogginess almost immediately. If you’re feeling up to it, add a tablespoon of unpasteurized apple cider vinegar for a slew of health benefits – including revving up your metabolism for the day.
  1. Enjoy a nutritionally satisfying breakfast at the table (preferably sans technology). Set your alarm a few minutes early to have enough time to eat your first meal in a calm, peaceful environment (rather than while rushing out the door). A few of my favorites include 3-Minute Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal, Creamy Cashewmilk Steel Cut Oatmeal, and Almond Butter Hemp Seed Toast… or a bowl of Power O’s!

  1. Sip a hot beverage. This is also a newer ritual of mine (as you all know I’m an iced coffee fiend). However, I’ve been savoring an aromatic cup of joe these days. If coffee isn’t your thing, a hot mug of herbal tea, or even warm water with fresh squeezed lemon will wake you (and your tummy) up. Tumeric tea with coconut milk is another nourishing option I’m eager to try.

  1. After breakfast (perhaps while sipping said hot beverage), take 5 minutes to write out your intentions/aspirations for the day. This isn’t meant to be a nagging to-do list, but rather your intentions for how you envision your day along with the necessities that need to be accomplished.
  1. Chew a tasty multivitamin like Airborne® Everyday™ – a daily multivitamin plus Airborne’s® crafted immune support.

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

⁣⁣
Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One lucky winner will receive a @girlgetafterit swag bag with hoodie, beanie & water bottle. ⁣⁣
 ⁣⁣
HOW TO ENTER:⁣⁣
1. 👆🏼LIKE this photo⁣⁣

2. 👇🏼TAG a womxn who has helped you GET AFTER IT this year - virtually or IRL⁣⁣
