She’s not rushing: 3 habits for a slow, intentional morning.

We’ve all been there, waking up and immediately checking our phone, mentally racing through our to-do list, and somehow ending up frazzled before we’ve even had coffee.
But what if mornings didn’t have to start in survival mode?

Here are three slow girl habits I swear by when I actually want to feel grounded (and not like I’m already behind on life):

1. No phone for the first 30 minutes.

Yes, I know it’s hard. But giving yourself even ten minutes without being bombarded by texts, TikToks, or existential email reminders gives your brain time to land. Instead, light a candle, open a window, stare out like a main character. Your thoughts will thank you.

2. Romanticize something small.

Whether it’s your oat milk matcha, a walk around the block, or your skincare routine with a vibey playlist, pick one thing and do it slowly, like you’re in a movie montage. Slow mornings aren’t about perfection, they’re about presence.

3. Check in with yourself (before the world).

This can be journaling, a voice note, a messy brain dump, or just asking, “How do I feel today?” Before you start being everything for everyone else, take a second to be there for you. Some days the answer is “meh.” That’s okay. The goal is honesty, not productivity.

You don’t have to wake up at 5AM or become a wellness robot. Slow mornings are about intention, not performance. Even if it’s just 15 extra minutes of quiet, that counts.
And sometimes, that’s all you need to shift the whole day.
