We all have our own unique morning and nighttime routines. Or a certain part of the day where we take a break to relax and switch our minds off of our work. Maybe it’s a walk, a short meditation, journaling, reading a book, turning on Netflix. Whatever it may be, it’s always something you look forward to. Something grounding and engaging and sets your mind up to face the rest of the day in an inspiring and productive way.
Every morning I have my own specific routine that I never stray from. It’s something that I look forward to waking up everyday to. As the world slowly wakes up, so does my inbox. Something I used to dread, but now am excited to sit down with my cup of coffee and sort through the emails that come in. In the past, my inbox would only fill up with bothersome emails that I threw straight in the trash. Nowadays, I am receiving inspiring and entertaining newsletters every morning that set me up for the day ahead.
Online newsletters have become increasingly popular as they are a great way to relay information in creative ways. We all get sick of reading, seeing, or listening to the same news stories over and over again, so why not change that. Finding unique and curated email newsletters can expand our knowledge and passions, and can lead to new interests.
However, email newsletters can be very hit and miss. But part of the fun is finding subscriptions that you actually enjoy and relate to. As you build up your library of newsletters, why not set aside a part of your morning, afternoon or evening routine to sit down and read your personal curated news stories for the day.
Here is a list of free, unique email newsletters that are worth subscribing to and definitely worth letting clog your inbox.
