10 Ways to Turn Your Fall Morning Routine Into a Cozy Oasis
A few weeks ago, I began lighting a cinnamon candle that crackles as it burns. The small hissing and popping sounds make me feel surprisingly grounded. And calm in the morning.
Which got me wondering…
What other small changes can you make to the morning routine to take advantage of fall’s cozier vibes?
10 Ideas to Embrace Fall in Your Morning Routine
Here are the best examples. You’ll love the fresh perspective they give you on an old routine.
1. Take a Walk in the Cool Morning Air
Go for a short walk and watch the sunrise over the changing leaves. Being in nature is a peaceful way to start your day.
2. Wrap Yourself in a Cozy Blanket or Sweater
Enjoy the soft comfort of a favorite blanket or oversized sweater while you ease into your day. If you have a few moments, snuggle into the warmth while you read something inspiring – like short reflections or motivating quotes.
3. Journal or Meditate by the Window
Find a cozy spot by a window with a view of nature. Then, sit with a notebook and reflect on your intentions for the day. Or meditate in the soft morning light.
Don’t have a good view? Make your own cozy spot with fall decor and a plant!
4. Open the Windows For Crisp Fall Air
Begin the day by letting in the cool, refreshing fall breeze. Listen to the sound of rustling leaves as you move around.
5. Sip a Fall Coffee or Tea
Start your morning with a warming seasonal drink that adds fall flavor to your day. This doesn’t mean you need to go anywhere fancy.
Make your own diy recipe:
6. Stretch with Gentle Yoga
