low cortisol *cozy* fall morning routine🍂☀️

One of my favorite things about fall is the mornings! The air is crisp, sometimes it’s rainy (which I think is so cozy), and it just feels so peaceful.

Here are some morning habits that really help reduce stress and can make your morning -that- much more cozy. ☺️

💤 wake up slowly

- Take your time getting out of bed. Rushing to get up increases stress levels and kind of kills the cozy vibes. Try to leave some time to slowly get up and romanticize this part of the morning as much as you can.

☀️ let the light in

- Open up your blinds and soak in that morning light. You can even take some time to look out the window and notice the sun, the trees, or whatever you see.

☕️ create a gratitude ritual

- Grab your journal, blanket, or warm beverage and start to think about the things in your life that bring you joy. Think about all you’ve been blessed with. Write out those things in a journal or even say them out loud. Focus on your feelings and truly center yourself. There are tons of gratitude journal prompts if that is easier.

👟 go on a fall walk

- Spend some time in nature and notice how your surroundings are changing for the new season. Are the trees changing colors? Moving your body in the morning is super beneficial in lowering your stress levels.

Do you have any fall morning rituals? If so, I’d love to hear them. 🍂💌
