So, why the Successful Morning Protocol? Because juggling ‘all the things’: as wife, mom of 4, business owner, volunteer, etc., etc., can be madness! And most days, skipping the most important meal of the day, breakfast, is the norm because there’s just no time.

So finding something that fits my super busy lifestyle especially as we’re headed back to school was an absolute must. So, today I’m sharing ways to make your morning a success. I don’t know about you but if my day starts off on the wrong foot, it easily derails the rest of the day. Or it is just that much harder to get the day back on track. Speaking of which, if I haven’t had anything to eat for breakfast, I can totally notice a difference. The Successful Morning Protocol Because I work from home, it’s easy to think that I would never miss breakfast. But it is quite the opposite…it’s as if I’m tricked into thinking that I have all day to eat. Then the next thing I know, it’s lunch time. That is no good! Breakfast isn’t called the most important meal of the day for no reason.

I know for me, I need quick breakfast options so that I can keep it moving. I’m trying to squeeze in a work out, checking e-mails and prepping for our school day, all before the kids are awake …whew! It’s a good time to pause for breakfastThe Successful Morning Protocol So what’s a great choice for a quick breakfast? YAS, belVita Breakfast Biscuits! And studies now show that breakfast eaters may enjoy a number of advantages like improved nutrition in their overall diet, improved concentration during the morning, and a positive impact on managing body weight. As hectic as it is, getting back into the routine of things after Summer break, I know that we can all appreciate those advantages.

The Successful Morning Protocol

  1. Quiet Time. Take a moment for yourself before the kids are up. I like to take this time for a devotion and prayer time. It’s also a great time for meditation. There are so many great devotionals, even journals and meditation CD’s out there. A few of my faves: Jesus Calling Devotionals and Let’s Write Life Journals.
  2. Balanced Breakfast. As mentioned, I’ve struggled with skipping breakfast due to the hustle and bustle of all the things that I do. As a business owner, my schedule is tight and things move quickly. But I know that I have to make time to fuel my body with food. So belVita Breakfast Biscuits are a great choice to add for making a well-balanced breakfast. I now pair a belVita Breakfast Biscuit with a nonfat greek yogurt and some fresh fruit for a filling balanced breakfast. belVita Breakfast Biscuits allow 4 hours of steady energy to support you throughout the day. Just what I need and it’s also great for on the go. The Successful Morning Protocol
  3. Commit to Good Vibes Only. A successful morning has to start with a great attitude. I love love love positive affirmations, as you’ve heard me mention this countless times. So I’ll leave you with a few to incorporate into your morning, to get you off to a winning start:
    1. Today I choose to be happy and share joy with someone.
    2. Everything that I put my mind and hands to do will succeed on today.
