How to Actually Fix your Morning and Night Routine

In this solo episode, Leana breaks down everything she has learned over five years of building a consistent morning and night routine — not the aesthetic influencer version, but the real, practical habits that actually changed how she shows up every single day. She opens up about who she used to be before any of this: a night owl, binge eating late, doom scrolling until she fell asleep, completely undisciplined. And she gets into exactly how she got out of it and why her faith is the foundation everything else is built around.This one is for every woman who keeps saying she wants a morning routine but cannot figure out why she still cannot make it happen. Leana gets into: → Why your morning routine actually starts the night before — and what happens when you skip that step → The 10-3-2-1 rule for winding down and why it works → Why nothing good happens past 10pm — and how to actually believe that → How to lock your apps at night so your phone stops making the decision for you — Opal and Brick → Why picking up your phone first thing in the morning spikes your cortisol and sets your whole day back → The one hour morning rule — what to do instead of reaching for your phone → Why she does not start her day with caffeine and the 90 minute rule that changed her energy → Getting sunlight, reading one page of a book, and writing out what you are grateful for before the day starts → How her morning prayer anchors everything — and why without it the whole day feels off → Why she wakes up early to take Arabic and Spanish classes and how her night routine makes that possible → Skincare, hair care, dental hygiene, planning your outfit and prepping your meals as acts of self-care — not chores → Journaling at night — affirmations, what went well, how to improve, and a brain dump to clear your mind → What the Quran says about the night being made for rest and the day for work — and why that changed how she sleeps → Why consistency in your sleep and wake schedule matters more than the number of hours you get → A reminder that your routine will look different in different seasons — and why that is okay "If you have time for yourself before the day starts, you can take on the world in any way." — Leana Deeb TOPICS DISCUSSED (00:00) Intro — Who Leana Used to Be Before Any of This (02:17) Why Your Morning Routine Starts With Your Night Routine (04:28) Finding Your Motivation — Why Prayer Changed Everything (06:53) The 10-3-2-1 Rule — Journaling, Rituals & Locking Your Apps (09:07) Building a Night Routine You Actually Love — Skincare, Affirmations & Brain Dumping (11:30) What the Quran Says About Rest & Why God Made the Night for Sleeping (13:46) Morning Habits — No Phone, Sunlight, Gratitude & Prayer as the Foundation Stay connected with Leana Deeb: Instagram: @leanadeebb / @beinghumannpodcast TikTok: @leanadeeb / @beinghumannpod Learn more about your ad choices.
