A Slow Morning Routine That Starts with Your Bed
Your mornings have the power to decide how the rest of your day goes. Building your morning routine to be slower instead of a rushed and chaotic one, gives you a pleasant start and spares you from the “Maybe they woke up on the wrong side of the bed” comments.
A slower morning routine allows your mind and body to gradually transition from a relaxed state to a productive and engaged state.
If you think you can fall asleep anywhere and wake up anytime, sorry to burst your bubble, but you aren’t really sleeping—you’re just resting your body (sometimes, even that isn’t true!). If this is how you sleep, it won’t be long before you are out cold for 14 hours straight and you miss something important (not based on a true story).
By building a stable morning routine, your mind and body stay active when you need them to.

The foundation for a blissful morning routine: A good night’s sleep
A great morning routine doesn’t start from the morning; it is tied to your sleep quality, which is determined by an important factor — your bed. Making sure that your bed is comfortable and taking extra care to ensure that your sleeping space is well maintained allows you to get restful sleep, which in turn ensures that you are active during mornings. A lack of bed care affects your sleep quality, leaving you tossing and turning throughout the night. This effect spills into your morning routine — disrupting your flow.

Layers of comfort
To turn your bed into a cozy cocoon, consider layering it with soft and breathable fabrics. In addition to a bedsheet, add a duvet insert, which provides more volume to your bed, allowing you to ‘sink in’ your bed. Use a duvet cover to secure the duvet insert. Adding this extra layer ensures that your bed, where you rest your body, is soft and cozy. Rest peacefully at nights, and you will have Feel refreshed during your morning routine.
Discover the Plant Based Duvet Insert Comforter to give your bed the right amount of fluff, and use the Jersey Knit Stripe Duvet Cover to secure it.
For a pleasant look during your morning routine, add blankets or pillows, which is also useful when extra warmth is needed. These aesthetic touches make your room inviting and add an interesting experience to your morning routine. An important step in your morning routine should be making your bed. Looking at a well-made bed is pleasing, and it gives you a sense of achievement. Like making your bed, it is also important to declutter your bedroom for an organised and neat look. Looking at clean spaces also helps clear the mind. Starting your day with a clear mind ensures that your morning routine progresses smoothly.

Colors that refresh you during your morning routine
Colours can influence the way we feel. Think about how you feel refreshed when you see the colour blue. We tend to associate it with the ocean or a clear sky. Another example is yellow, which we associate with the sun and think of it as a cheerful colour. To feel naturally refreshed during morning routines, choose cool colours that help your mind ease into the day without stimulating you much.

Loungewear for a slow morning routine
What you wear decides how you feel. You know that satisfaction when you change from your formal wear to a simple cotton t- shirt?
