A Simple Thing ✨ no. 8
bring a sense of calm and beauty to your mornings
This past week has felt long and unsettling. Today, I want to share a simple practice that’s brought me an unexpected sense of comfort amid the heaviness. Everyone can try it, no matter what your mornings look like.
A simple thing to do this week…
🎶 Romanticize the morning with calming instrumental music.
Finding serenity has been a challenge in the middle of a tough week. But each morning, I've started the day with a soothing instrumental playlist, as I typically do, and it’s incredible how much of a difference it’s made on my overall mood. This simple act adds a romantic sheen to mundane routines reminding me of the quiet beauty that exists all around me everyday.
Whether you’re on your commute, getting the kids ready for school, enjoying breakfast, or diving into work, calming instrumentals can help slow down your morning pace.
Some of my favorite playlists are Wake Up Gently, Jazz in the Background, Sweater Weather Instrumentals, and Breezy Instrumental. If you don’t have Spotify, YouTube has some great options too. Or if you are in your car or have a radio, tune into a local station offering classical music.
What if we tried this every day this week? Imagine the effects it could have on our mood and mindset. Isn't it incredible how something as simple as music can bring a sense of calm and beauty to our mornings?
I’ve also pulled up some past A Simple Thing posts that feel especially helpful during uncertain times, I will be revisiting these this week too.
Cheers to treating mornings as celebrations for a fresh new day, and see you later this week for a new Lovin’ Lately,
