5 Morning Habits That Will Change Your Entire Day (and Body)
Hint: It starts before you even check your phone.
Do you wake up and immediately reach for your phone? It's a habit that sets a reactive tone for the day. But what if you could take control of your mornings and, in turn, your entire day (and body)?
The Problem
Checking texts, emails, or Instagram the second you open your eyes puts you in a reactive, stressed state. Your brain immediately goes into catch-up mode, cortisol spikes, and suddenly you feel behind before your feet hit the floor. The good news? A few simple, intentional habits can completely flip the script—so you start your day centered, energized, and in control.
The Jane DO Solution: 5 Morning Habits That Change Everything
1. Hydrate, Don’t Scroll
Before you touch your phone, drink a full glass of water. Overnight, your body loses hydration, and replenishing first thing helps kickstart your metabolism, improve digestion, and wake up your brain. Plus, putting off screen time for just 10 minutes lowers stress and keeps you grounded.
2. Move Your Body (Even for 5 Minutes)
Not every morning allows for a full workout, and that’s okay. A five-minute flow, a Jane DO-inspired stretch, or even a quick walk around the block can do wonders. Movement increases circulation, boosts serotonin, and sets a positive tone before your to-do list takes over.
3. Fuel with Protein
Skipping breakfast or opting for sugar-heavy options leads to energy spikes and crashes. Instead, build a breakfast that prioritizes protein—whether it’s eggs, Greek yogurt, a smoothie, or overnight oats with nut butter. A protein-forward start keeps your blood sugar stable and helps you stay full through the morning grind.
4. Listen to Something Inspiring
Instead of diving into work messages, pop on a short podcast, audiobook, or playlist that lifts your mindset. Whether it’s 10 minutes of inspiration or a pump-up Jane DO playlist, the right audio sets your mental tone for the day ahead.
5. Set an Intention
Take one minute to decide how you want to feel today. Do you want to step into strength? Approach challenges with calm? Focus on curiosity and productivity? That small intention grounds you and keeps your choices aligned with how you want to show up.
Your morning routine is the foundation for your day. Start with intention and let us help you build a routine that makes you feel amazing.
