Welcome back to your #MondayMotivation mission! Just as a reminder, this is a brand new season of She Takes on the World TV that has been a long time coming, and I’m so excited to say that it’s here for you all to enjoy!

I went over this in last week’s episode, but in case some of you are new or missed it, every week I’m going to be releasing a new episode with a fellow entrepreneur, where they challenge me to incorporate something new into my routine. It’ll be something different each and every week – from a new sitting position to a writing strategy to a new Morning breath work cycle.

This brand new season is all about us delivering content to you in new and different ways — including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram Stories and IGTV.

(Psst.. if you missed last week’s episode with master copywriter Craig Clemens, check it out here! Trust me – it’s a good one.)

I’ll be trying the new ritual or habit throughout the week, and updating you on my progress on my Instagram stories. I invite you to take on the challenge with me, and share your thoughts with me on Instagram or the comments below.

Can I tell you a secret?

I love to nerd out about the Morning Rituals of the world’s most brilliant people.

I gobble up every article and book I can about them.

For example, if you asked me, I could tell you Oprah gets up at 5:30 AM every morning, works out, and is in her makeup chair by 7:30 AM.

I could also tell you that Arianna Huffington begins with yoga and meditation.

And Beethoven started his day by counting 60 beans for his coffee.

And Steve Jobs stood in front of the mirror first thing every morning and ask himself: “If today was the last day of my life, would I be happy with what I’m about to do today?”

Morning rituals are so fascinating to me because they offer an unprecedented window into the way extraordinary human beings live their lives, and embody their values (consciously or otherwise).

Whether you begin your day before the sun or closer to noon, your ritual (or routine, whatever you choose to call it) sets the tone for everything else you do — and I find the more intentional you are about it? The more satisfaction you’ll experience in every day of your life.

That’s why I was so excited to hear about two of my dear friend Jennifer Kem’s morning ritual!

If you haven’t met Jen yet, she’s a brand experience expert and digital business juggernaut, helping thousands of women the world over get seen, heard, and paid what they’re worth for their phenomenal work.

Now she’s joining me on Instagram Stories to share two ways she starts her day.

(I’ll admit — Jen’s second ritual surprised me. Bonus points if you know which movie she got it from. I’ll have to start doing this!)

Now I’d love to know: Are you intentional about your morning ritual? Or is there someone with  morning ritual that you absolutely love?

Let me know in the comments below, and let’s start our days right — together.
