In this episode of the "Love Your Caregiving Life" podcast, host Charlotte Bayala explores the idea of the "perfect morning routine" and how it applies to caregivers. She discusses the pressure to conform to societal expectations of how successful people spend their mornings, with early wake-ups, meditation, exercise, and other activities. However, Charlotte challenges the notion that this ideal morning routine is one-size-fits-all, especially for caregivers with unique responsibilities and limited time.

She emphasizes that what works for successful individuals may not work for caregivers and that it's important to find what feels right. Charlotte encourages listeners to create their own version of a perfect morning routine, tailored to their needs and circumstances. Whether it's a quiet moment with a cup of coffee, a short walk, or finding solitude in the car, she emphasizes the importance of self-care and actively setting the tone for the day ahead.

Overall, Charlotte reminds caregivers that perfect isn't perfect for everyone and that it's crucial to prioritize self-care in ways that genuinely work for them. Morning routines do matter, but they should be personalized and meaningful, helping caregivers prepare for the day's responsibilities.
