Have you ever felt like every wellness routine out there is written for someone with endless free time, I get it. I’ve tried it all, 30-minute meditations, cold showers, elaborate smoothie recipes, and honestly, most of it just didn’t stick. Because life is busy. We’re juggling work, kids, errands, emails, and somehow trying to keep our sanity intact.
So I did what any busy woman would do: I simplified.
I created a 5-step morning reset ritual that fits into my real life — no pressure, no overwhelm, just simple steps that calm my nervous system, help me focus, and give me steady energy to show up for my day.
Here’s exactly what I do every morning, and why it might be just what you need too.

The Calming Drink I Use Instead of Coffee
For years, I thought coffee was my only way to power through mornings. But after so many afternoons crashing and feeling jittery, I knew something had to change.
Now, instead of grabbing that cup of coffee, I start my day with a warm cup of water paired with lemon juice on an empty stomach. This works because it helps you hydrate your body but balance cortisol when it is at its highest.
The warmth of the lemon and water feels like a cozy hug — the aroma grounds me before the chaos begins. Right after, I add the Daily Reset Tincture, which supports my nervous system and helps balance my mood so I’m not riding the rollercoaster of spikes and crashes.
This simple swap has been a game changer helping me avoid that exhausting afternoon slump and stay calm, clear, and steady all morning.

Why You Wake Up Anxious, …and 2 Ways To Fix It Before 8 AM
If you’ve ever woken up with your heart racing or your mind swirling with worry, you’re not alone.
Morning anxiety often comes from a cortisol spike, that stress hormone kicking in too high too soon, combined with racing thoughts and the overstimulation we get from checking phones or emails first thing.
Here are two quick ways I calm that morning storm:
-
Breathwork or gentle movement. Even just two minutes of deep, intentional breathing or some slow stretches can signal to your body, “It’s okay, we’re safe.” It helps your nervous system downshift. Click here to access my free audio guide.
-
Setting an intention or journaling a quick gratitude list. Before diving into my phone, I spend a moment grounding myself — writing down what I’m grateful for or what I want to focus on that day. This takes me just 5 minutes.
These little habits help me start the day with calm and clarity — not chaos and overwhelm.
3. 3 Things I Do Before Checking My Phone
Speaking of phones — here’s a big one: I don’t touch mine the moment I wake up. I switched to this one. I have a regular alarm clock that helps me wake up, to start my day. Avoid blue light and radiation from phones.
Why? Because diving straight into emails, social media, and news first thing can flood your brain with stress before you’ve even had a chance to breathe.
Instead, I have three non-negotiables that happen before any screen time:
-
Hydrate. I drink a glass of water or my calming tea to wake up my body from the inside out. We’ve covered this one.
-
Move/stretch. I do some gentle movement to shake off sleep and get my blood flowing. You can do it on a mat or change it for a smooth slow walk.
-
Mindfulness or intention. I check in with myself — maybe a minute of meditation or setting a positive intention for the day. I do thank the Universe and call in for the intention I want to happen throughout the day. I started this recently and it has been a game changer.
This little buffer helps me stay grounded and focused — making sure my mornings feel calm, not chaotic.
How Nummies Fits Into My Reset Ritual
Now, here’s a little secret weapon in my morning ritual: Nummies.
Every morning, alongside my lemon water, I take my Reset drops to gently calm my nervous system and set a peaceful tone for the day. If I need a gentle pick-me-up mid-morning, I use the Energy tincture — no jitters, just clean focus.
At night, the Magnesium + Reishi gummies help me wind down and get deep, restful sleep — because true reset happens both day and night.
Reishi helps calm my mind, and Lion’s Mane boosts my focus and mental clarity so I’m ready to tackle the day feeling human again by 9 AM.
If you’re craving calm and steady energy too, I’d love for you to try Nummies and see what it can do for your reset ritual.
