How you start your day shapes how you live your life. If your mornings feel chaotic, rushed, or uninspiring, it’s time for a royal upgrade.
Picture this:
A queen doesn’t stumble out of bed, scrolling her phone, and letting the day happen to her. She rises with intention, aligns with her purpose, and commands her schedule. That’s the energy we’re channeling today building a morning routine that sets the tone for a life of confidence, poise, and power.
This guide is your step-by-step blueprint to reclaiming your mornings and starting each day like the queen you’re becoming.
The Queen’s Secret: Mornings Begin the Night Before
Here’s a game-changing truth: a powerful morning doesn’t start when your alarm goes off, it starts the night before. Successful women worldwide swear by evening routines that prep their minds and environments for the next day.
Take five minutes each night to:
- Write down your top three priorities for tomorrow in your planner.
- Lay out your outfit (because decisions are easier when you’re clear-headed).
- Prep your workspace or gym bag if that’s part of your morning.
One Grateful Gains customer shared that she started using our planner to write three things she’s grateful for before bed. This one shift made her mornings more intentional and filled with positivity. Instead of waking up dreading her day, she began looking forward to accomplishing what truly mattered.
Action Tip: Tonight, grab your planner, and write down what you’re excited to tackle tomorrow. Watch how this small ritual transforms your mindset.

Sacred First Moments: The Power of Starting Slow
The first 10 minutes after waking up set the tone for your entire day. Too often, we reach for our phones, exposing ourselves to endless notifications, emails, or social media comparison traps. A queen doesn’t let her day start reactive—she starts it reflective.
Instead, try this:
- Take three deep breaths to ground yourself.
- Say a short prayer to affirm your focus: “Today is a gift, and I will honor it with intention and grace.”
- Drink a glass of water to rehydrate and energize your body.
Think of a time you started your morning with a calming routine versus a time you rolled out of bed in a rush. The difference in how you feel throughout the day is undeniable. One mom I know shared how replacing her phone with her Bible & planner first thing in the morning not only calmed her but gave her clarity for handling her kids and business.
Action Tip: Before bed, place a glass of water and your journal by your bed. Set your phone on “Do Not Disturb” mode until after your morning ritual.
Building Your Morning Routine: Energize Like a
A queen’s morning routine isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about creating habits that energize her physically, mentally, and spiritually. These habits help you show up as your best self, no matter what the day throws at you.
Here’s a sample morning routine to get you started:
- Energize: Start with water & vitamins to wake up your body and brain.
- Exercise: Whether it's a quick workout, or a walk, get your blood flowing.
- Envision: Spend 5-10 minutes journaling, worshipping, using a gratitude list, or visualizing your day.
- Empower: Read a devotional, pray from God's promises, or meditate on a scripture that reminds you of your position of dominion in the earth.
You were seated with Christ so you could shift the events of the day from your heavenly position first. So before you lift a finger, be sure to lift your faith first - only the latter can move mountains.
"For he raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 2:6)
Start your day like the unstoppable woman God designed you to be.
Scripture to Inspire: “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” – Psalm 118:24. Use this as your daily reminder to approach each morning with joy and expectation.

Plan Your Day with Precision
Queens don’t wing it, they plan with purpose. A solid morning routine should always include time to review your goals and schedule for the day. Use your planner to:
- Map out your top three priorities.
- Schedule your work and rest times.
- Set boundaries (like screen-free periods or saying “no” to non-essential commitments).
Entrepreneurs who excel by grace know their focus, and establish their non-negotiables each morning. Your schedule serves you, you don't serve it. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by your endless to-do list, start your day with clarity, knowing exactly where to channel your energy.
Action Tip: Use the morning section in your planner to write down your top three must-dos. Remember, less is more when it comes to focus.
Protect Your Peace Like It’s Your Crown
Peace is the queen’s crown jewel. Before you dive into emails, social media, or the demands of the day, carve out time to protect your peace. This could look like:
- Sitting quietly with your coffee or tea.
- Reading a motivational book or devotional.
- Listening to calming music or a faith-based podcast.
Think about the days when you’ve allowed chaos to invade your mornings like checking your inbox before you’ve even brushed your teeth. Compare that to mornings where you’ve taken just 10 minutes to sit in silence or reflect. The latter is always more empowering.
Scripture to Inspire: “Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10. Stillness isn’t inactivity; it’s intentionality.
Why Your Morning Matters
Your morning isn’t just the start of your day, it’s the foundation of your life. Every action you take during those first waking hours sends a message to yourself and the world about the kind of woman you’re becoming. Will you step into the day as a queen, prepared and purposeful? Or will you let the chaos dictate your story?
