Kickstart Your Mornings: Create Your Coffee Routine

How do you start off your mornings? As coffee lovers, it’s important to make time for crafting your daily cup of coffee. That’s why creating a daily coffee routine on top of your regular routine can be beneficial as you kick off your day. 

Not only do you feel more productive having an established routine to follow, but you also get to prioritize self-care by doing something you love at the very beginning of your day. 

After all, completing and enjoying your coffee can be a relaxing and reflective activity.

Here are some ways you can and should save space for “coffee time” in your routine.

Setting The Tone

Whether you have a busy day ahead or are enjoying a slow morning, making your own coffee can be a constant part of your lifestyle. Much like other morning routines in your day, like making the bed or brushing your teeth - something as simple as a morning coffee can set the tone for a positive day ahead. 

You can add your own twist to your coffee routine, too, by putting on an upbeat playlist, cooking breakfast simultaneously, or cleaning up parts of your kitchen as you go. 

These small details can make you feel energized to take on the day ahead. 

Personalize Each Cup 

You can generate more excitement around your mornings by making a habit of adding some fun. Getting funky mugs, new and unique coffee beans, or handy kitchen gadgets helps to enhance the coffee-making experience. 

Another fun tip can be to make your drinks seasonal. For example, in the Summer, you can stick to cold brews or iced drinks, and in Fall, you can make hot drinks with spiced flavors.

Just because you have a coffee routine doesn’t mean you have to stick to the same coffee recipe - you can have fun mixing things up!

Being Mindful

Routines can be a form of self-care, and coffee routines are no exception! While creating and savoring your freshly made coffee, you can find ways to incorporate more mindfulness. 

As you settle into your favorite spot on the sofa, in the dining room, or in your kitchen - you can take a few moments to check in with yourself and recharge your batteries. This time of mindful reflection may be all you need to think about your priorities for the day and prepare yourself.

If you’re looking for a meaningful change to your routine, consider making your coffee from home and spending a few minutes on yourself!

It’s never too late to add relaxation to your routine.
