Hello Mornings - Review

I always thought I was a morning person until I really had to start getting up early. Then you add kids to the mix and it seems I dread mornings now. I wake up and then waste time and have to scramble around trying to finish getting ready. Sometimes the important things like spending time in the Word, praying over my day, and taking healthy steps to be able to do what God has called me to get left behind in all the rush. Part of me feels like if I can't spend an hour in quiet time and thirty minutes working out then what's the point. So I don't do anything.

Hello Mornings by Kat Lee gives another option. She gives the reason for God Time, Plan Time, and Move Time using Scripture. And she recommends starting small with just 3 minutes each morning and then expanding from there. Two things I really liked about this book were how practical (and attainable) it is and how she continually brings the focus back to our service to God as the reason why we do anything. Many books like this often focus solely on the practical and end up being a glorified self-help book. Having a proper motivation for what we do and remembering who allows us to do it makes me want to stick with it more.

The book is not perfect but there is a lot of wisdom in it. Now I just have to get up and do it. Another thing emphasized in the book is the importance of accountability. Anyone want to join me on this journey to taking back the morning?

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review
