Mel Robbins, another self-care guru advises that you get out of bed, go to the mirror and give yourself a high five. This helps us practice self love and results in us knowing our own strength apparently.
There is so much emphasis on morning routines being the secret to success and wealth. Maybe that is why celebrities love telling us about their routines so much. One of Gwyneth Paltrow’s favourite morning smoothies includes almond milk, almond butter, coconut oil, vanilla mushroom powder, ashwagandha, vanilla powder, Himalayan sea salt, he shou wu, cordyceps and a teaspoon of ‘moon dust of choice.’
But starting the day by making smoothies, writing down intentions, meditating, engaging in vigorous exercise whilst high-fiving yourself just sounds overwhelming and tiring to me. I sometimes feel like our mornings have been hijacked by influencers, celebrities and self-help gurus.
My ideal morning is one where I get up when I wake up (I am an early riser -having kids and the menopause does that to you), feed the cats, unload the dishwasher (my intention of the day is to empty it, I like to start small). I then sit on the sofa and stare into space.

I’ve noticed that the super productive morning people sharing their routines on social media don’t seem to have children. Or pets. Or any responsibilities actually. For a mum with a newborn the idea of getting up even earlier to do all this stuff is impossible. For those who work on shifts and get home in the early hours, like a good friend of mine who is a nurse; what is she supposed to do? High five herself as she rolls into bed?
When I was a kid my dad would get up (late) and for the first hour of the day he wouldn’t speak. He would simply walk from room to room, like a dazed toddler with a pint of black coffee in his hand. After about an hour he would smoke his pipe in the garden, usually mumbling something nonsensical to the dog.
4 ways to have the right morning for you
Anna Mathur is a Psychotherapist and Author of ‘The Good Decision Diary,’ and offered up some realistic advice on our morning routines:
2. Think about what works for you
Some mornings you might opt for movement, others it’s permission to climb back into bed with toast. When we stop imitating other people’s habits and start responding to our own needs, we build routines that actually work for us.
4. Beware the influencers
Get better at doing your own thing. It might take some time to start tuning into what it is that you actually need if you’ve outsourced that voice to others, but think about what works for you as opposed to what works for others.
