🌅 Start Your Day With YOU

 – A Morning Ritual of Self-Love

By: Joice Princy | Rise With Joice



🧡 The Moment That Changed My Mornings Forever


I used to wake up in a rush — checking messages, replying to emails, jumping into tasks, and trying to please the world even before brushing my hair.

The result? I was drained before the clock hit 10 AM.


One day, my little daughter looked at me with sleepy eyes and whispered,

“Mama, why are you always busy before you even hug me?”


It hit me like a wave. I wasn’t just missing my mornings — I was missing myself.



🌸 The Power of a 10-Minute Morning Date With Yourself


That’s when I started something simple yet powerful:

Spending 10 minutes every morning with myself.


No phone. No emails. No rush.


Just me — with a hot cup of chai, deep breaths, and a few words of love in the mirror.


Sometimes I journal my thoughts, sometimes I just sit in silence. But those few minutes feel like magic. They anchor me before I step into the world.


✨ Why Morning Self-Love Matters


Starting your day with intention is like putting on invisible armor.

It reminds you:


  • You are in charge.
  • You deserve love before the world asks anything of you.
  • You are your own safe space.


Whether you’re a working woman, a mom, a student, or building your dreams one block at a time — the way you begin your morning shapes your energy, choices, and confidence for the rest of the day.


🌿 How You Can Begin


Here’s your gentle self-love challenge:

Tomorrow morning, spend 10 minutes with YOU.


Try one of these:


  • Write a short note to your future self.
  • Stand in front of the mirror and say: “I am proud of me.”
  • Sit with your tea or coffee and breathe — just breathe.



It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence.


💫 Final Thought


You don’t have to go far to find peace.

Sometimes, it’s waiting in your own reflection — if only you pause and look.


So, beautiful soul, what will your morning look like tomorrow?

The Cup Broke. I Didn’t. ☕💔

Join the Rise With Joice Circle
There was nothing fancy about the cup. No gold rim. No quote from a bestselling author. It wasn’t even microwave safe (which I learned the hard way). But it was mine. A soft blue mug with a tiny crack on the side. Gifted by someone who knew I liked “chai more than people.” 🫖 The Mug That Held More Than Tea It became my morning therapist. My “we’re not okay but pretending we are” sidekick. It sat with me through: Cold mornings Quiet tears Loud dreams And a few burnt-toast breakfasts Honestly? That cup had seen more of me than most people had. 💥 And Then… It Happened. I was having one of those days—where your to-do list judges you harder than society ever has. In between reheating chai and scrolling Instagram, it slipped. Fell to the floor. Shattered. I stared at the pieces like they had betrayed me. 🎭 I Know, It’s “Just a Mug,” But Also… It wasn’t just about ceramic. It was about everything else that had cracked quietly over the past few years: Plans I had to postpone People who left...

Confessions of a Professional Overthinker (And How I Found Peace in Spilled Coffee)

Join the Rise With Joice Circle
Let’s get one thing straight: I did not wake up one day and magically become this beacon of positivity and light. No, no. I woke up, tripped over a slipper, burned my toast, and cried over a coffee spill. That’s how most of my days begin — and somehow, that’s where the wisdom lies. Chapter One: The Grand Mess of ‘Perfect’ I used to think life should look like Pinterest boards. Clean desks, fancy mugs, perfect morning routines. Reality? My desk is a war zone of sticky notes, I drink coffee from a chipped cup that says “World’s Okayest Human,” and my morning routine consists of 37 alarms and one dramatic sigh. And still… I’m doing okay. Here’s the truth: We spend so much time trying to “get it right” that we forget life is happening — now, in all its messy, hilarious, chaotic glory. Chapter Two: Motivation by Accident I found inspiration in the weirdest place: My 3-year-old niece. She spilled juice, said “Oopsie! It’s okay,” and went on to conquer the living room like a queen. No breakdo...

“She didn’t break—she rebuilt.” Meera was 35 when her marriage ended. She walked out of the courtroom with no husband, no savings, and no plan. just a bag of clothes and her self-respect.  People whispered: “Poor thing.” She answered with a silent promise: “Watch me rise.” Her Comeback Started With a Cup of Chai With nowhere to go, she moved back to her parents’ home. One rainy evening, she made her special masala chai for guests.  Everyone asked: “What’s your recipe?” Her brother joked, “You should bottle this and sell it!” That joke sparked an idea.
