Mornings: the R&W way

May 27, 2025

Begin with clarity. Move with intention.

A strong morning routine is essential to set yourself up for a successful day—the R&W way. 

Mornings: the R&W way

Morning routines can be intimidating; however, incorporating a few simple habits creates a sense of peace and clarity before the day unfolds. A good day starts with a mindful morning, so here are our founders' non-negotiables.

 


 

7:00 – 7:05 | Wake Gently

Ease into the day with a deep stretch, a few grounding breaths, and a simple mantra:
“Today is going to be a great day.”
(A favorite from Dr. Daniel Amen.)

7:05 – 7:06 | Make Your Bed

Making your bedroom feel like a sanctuary is all in the details. Spending a minute to tidy up your space is step one. Cute bedding is step two.

7:06 – 7:07 | Let the Light In

Open the windows and turn on the lights. Morning light is your body’s natural cue to wake up, syncing your circadian rhythm and gently energizing your system.

7:07 – 7:10 | Red Light Mask + Supplements

While the mask and supplements aren’t a must, they’re a great ritual to invest in your health and your day. A few alternative rituals include meditation, oil pulling, and/or tongue scraping.

7:10 – 7:20 | Skincare, Simplified

Ten minutes doesn’t mean ten steps. Keeping it simple means you’re more likely to be consistent! This is all about taking a moment for you. Starting with a gentle cleanser, followed by a hydrating moisturizer and facial massage, and finishing with sunscreen is our minimalist approach. 

7:20 – 7:30 | Lemon Water + Daily Goals

If not hot lemon water, just make it water! A well-hydrated body is a must for optimal energy and smooth digestion. Embrace this last moment of stillness before embarking on your day by putting your priorities in place.

 


 


And you’re off! 

Whether that means getting ready for class, heading to a workout, or leaving for the office, you’re stepping into your day with intention—and a full cup – setting you up to face anything that may come your way
