Mandatory Me Time
|
Checking in, how are your habits going? My morning walks have turned into a daily thing that if I don’t do it, I feel groggy and sleepy and can’t wake up properly. And I love that, because it’s another thing that drives me to go do them. On Tuesday, I start my morning with a 7 am meeting, so a walk doesn’t always happen. This week, I was sitting there around 9 am, still feeling tired. I had a little check-in moment with myself and realized that these walks are now a mandatory part of my day. So I threw on some outside clothes and walked to a local coffee shop. I didn’t have time for my full 2-mile walk, which usually takes about 45 minutes, but this quick jaunt was enough to get my blood flowing and clear out any of the sleep cobwebs. I’m loving how I feel after these walks. They are a constant reminder that no matter how busy life is, this is mandatory me time. So, in preparation for the coming “weather” months, I’m planning on making a stop at REI or Patagonia this weekend to pick up a new raincoat - since my 18-year-old raincoat disintegrated last year and I haven’t replaced it. I want to hear from you. What habits are you working on? What part of the habit-building process do you find most difficult? What is your favorite part about the habit that you are building that gets you excited and shows you your potential? Hit reply and let me know! Until next time, Morgan |

Hey Reader, I haven’t worked out since November. I did three bike rides in December, but they were all on the stationary bike. I haven’t done a lifting workout since November. And while I’m ready to jump back into my workouts in the New Year, I wanted to talk about the missing link that a lot of people aren’t following through on. They jump into habit change trying to do whole life overhauls and get overwhelmed by all the things they think they should be doing with their nutrition. But the...
I spent this morning reviewing my calendar from this past year and reflecting on wins and losses - and ways of being that served and didn’t serve me. Here are 28 lessons I had handed to me over and over again in 2025. Take what speaks to you, leave what doesn’t. The world is beautiful, don’t get trapped inside. Get off the computer, keep with your check in/ check out process. Lean into your hobbies, you have space (literally) for this. Eat the frogs, your energy will thank you. You have all...
The winter arc era is upon us. Instagram is filled with coaches selling you their programs to help you stay on track through the holidays. We even have people already selling you into 8-week shred programs starting in the New Year. And while I’m all for health and fitness challenges to motivate you - I am taking a much more laid-back approach to my health this season, and I think you should t0o. The world seems to be crashing and burning around us, both literally and figuratively, and I don’t...
