  1. Lifestyle Blogger Hi there! I’m Lucie, and welcome to my blog! I’m here to share with you some life experiences, and books that had an impact on my life, and the way I simply view (and try to make sense of) this world. luciebabikian.com

  2. ABOUT ME As a young girl, I was always fascinated by the way the world worked. Why do people do the things they do? What makes them happy? How can we make this world a little bit better? Now as a wife, mother, and business owner, I’m still fascinated by those things and more

  4. 01 • Wake Up Early and Don’t Hit Snooze: • I went from waking up just on time and rushing through my morning habits to starting the day with one to two hours of quiet time. I wake up and drink a glass of water, then lay in bed for 10 minutes without scrolling through my phone (avoiding the bright lights of my screen). That is dedicated time just for me. • This has been a game changer, and I look forward to this part of the day now! As a result, I started on personal routines, which put my mind in the right state.

  5. 02 • Avoid checking • your phone: • This has to make every list because it is essential. One of the first things I’ve done is I switched off my phone notifications, and I try to take a few hours for myself before checking in with the world. This helps me stay calm and focused on what matters most first thing in the morning and after a good night’s sleep. • I didn’t know the harmful effects of checking my phone first thing in the morning had on me. No good can come from feeding your brain information from all over the world before you even have the chance to explore your thoughts.

  6. 03 • Morning Pages: • This is a great way to get all the negative self-talk out of the way before you get down to business. • Julia Cameron introduced morning pages in The Artist’s Way. • I take out my journal and put my thoughts on the page when I wake up. • This is a form of meditation where your subconscious-thoughts surface, and in a way, writing them down unlocks your creativity.

  7. 04 • Meditate: • I do this immediately after my morning journaling; I stay where I am, and I take no more than five minutes. I close my eyes and focus on my breathing. This is when I don’t let my thoughts carry me to the past or future. Instead, I choose what I want to focus on in these moments, where I want my ideas to lead me. Don’t be harsh on yourself if your mind wanders if you try it. That’s normal. Just realize what you’re doing and come back.

  8. 05 • Drink Water: • After meditating and drinking a 500ml cup of lemon-infused water to rehydrate my body before having my coffee, I engage in my morning routine habits. I get to the kitchen, have my coffee and make breakfast for my family before anything else. I know people who replaced morning coffee altogether with this morning routine, including the lemon-infused water, because it helped them wake up just the same. If you can do that, then good for you, but me personally, I love coffee too much to let it go 🙂 It's just that water always comes first.

  9. 06 • Exercise: • Now it’s 6 am, and the house starts waking up, and it’s time to start the day for my husband and kids. What they do every morning before starting their day is a 30-minute workout. We started this routine in the first lockdown in 2020. We needed to get the kids into an exercise routine. Now that I have my own time in the morning, I’m free to join them. The best part is that I can’t quit when the rest work so hard. I have to be an example. I’m held accountable, and it’s working!

  10. 07 • Make Your Bed First Thing In The Morning: I do this before or after our workout, but it has to be done. all is to make your bed first thing when you wake up. Morning Routine Habits: Making your bed every morning sets a positive tone for the day. It also gives me a sense of accomplishment and motivates me further to get going with my day. Finally, after all the hustle and bustle of the morning, I spend some I used to forget this step, but now it has become part of my routine, and I can’t start my day without completing it. Having a made bed is quite calming to look at when I come back home after a long day.

  11. 08 • Get ready for the day: Look good, feel good. • You do not know how much better you can feel if you simply take the time to shower, dress nicely, and do your makeup. Whatever makes you feel fresh and presentable will make all the difference. After my workout, it’s time for a quick shower. I have my facial cleanser in the shower, so step one is done, and I’m ready for my skincare routine, which takes me 10 minutes. Once I’m done, it’s time to get dressed and get ready for the day. This is a very important step, especially when you’re working from home and some days you don’t get out at all. In the first few days of the first-ever lockdown, I let this one slip without noticing.
