My Soulful Summer Morning Reset Routine: How I Start My Day with Intention, Hydration, and Harmony

 

Good morning, gorgeous! 

There’s something special about summer mornings—the warm sunlight, the slower pace, the promise of a new day wrapped in golden light. For me, summer is the season when I let my mornings breathe. No rush, no noise, just a soulful reset to align my spirit, body, and mind.

As a proud woman over 50 navigating wellness with grace, I’ve learned that how I start my day matters. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being present. And during these warm summer days, my morning routine becomes a sacred ritual for hydration, hormone harmony, glow, and gratitude.

Let me walk you through it.

My Soulful Summer Morning Reset Routine

6:00 AM — Wake Up Gently & Give Thanks
No blaring alarms here. I wake to soft music or natural light peeking through the curtains. I take a moment before reaching for my phone to breathe, stretch, and say thank you.

Affirmation of the day:
“I am open to joy. I am glowing from the inside out.”

---

6:15 AM — Hydrate + Refresh
First stop: my kitchen. I sip a tall glass of infused water—usually with cucumber, lemon, and mint or hibiscus petals for a Southern twist.

Hydration is my non-negotiable for:
✔️ Skin glow
✔️ Hormone support
✔️ Digestion
✔️ Joint ease

 LTK Pick: Glass Infuser Pitcher + Organic Dried Hibiscus Flowers

6:30 AM — Morning Devotion & Journaling
I light a candle, open my journal, and read a short devotion or affirmation. This is where I realign with my faith and center my heart.

Journaling Prompts I Love:

• What am I grateful for today?

• What do I want to release?

• What will bring me peace today?

Quiet time is my anchor.

7:00 AM — Gentle Movement or Outdoor Walk
A short walk outside is my favorite in summer. I listen to birds, breathe in the morning air, and let nature encourage me.

If I’m indoors, I walk on the treadmill and follow with hip-opening stretches and neck rolls.

7:30 AM — Skin & Soul Glow Routine
After a quick shower, I give my skin the TLC it deserves. Summer glow isn’t just about SPF and serums—it’s about loving the skin we’re in.

My Morning Skincare Steps:

1. Cleanse with a gentle foaming wash

2. Apply Vitamin C serum

3. Hydrate with a lightweight gel moisturizer

4. Finish with a mineral SPF (yes—even indoors!)
   

Bonus: I massage my face with a cool jade roller and smile at myself in the mirror.

LTK Picks:

• Urban Skin Rx Vitamin C Serum 

  
  
  
  
  

• Black Girl Sunscreen SPF 30 

  
  
  

• Jade Roller + Gua Sha Set

8:00 AM — Nourish with a Light Summer Breakfast
I keep it simple and refreshing in summer:

• A protein smoothie with almond milk, berries & flaxseed

• Greek yogurt parfait with chia seeds & cinnamon

• Smashed avocado on sprouted toast with microgreens

Foods that support my blood sugar, hormones, and energy without the crash.
