That Girl Fall Routine: Step-by-Step

Becoming that girl isn't just about the aesthetic—it's about owning your day, living with intention, and treating yourself like the priority you are. Fall is the perfect season to reset and start fresh, embracing new habits that will elevate your energy, mindset, and lifestyle.

Here’s the ultimate fall routine to help you step into your power and embody that girl:

08:30 AM: Wake Up

Stop hitting snooze and get up with purpose. The earlier you wake up, the more time you have to set the tone for your day. Fall mornings are peaceful, with that crisp air that’s almost like a natural wake-up call. You’ve got things to do, and the best version of yourself doesn’t waste time in bed.

08:32 AM: Quick Stretch in Bed

Before you even step out of bed, give your body a quick stretch. Nothing too intense—just enough to get the blood flowing and shake off any stiffness. This is the first step to waking your body up gently.

08:35 AM: Brush Your Teeth

Start your day feeling fresh. This is a non-negotiable part of your morning routine. Look in the mirror and remind yourself of how capable and powerful you are today.

08:40 AM: Get Dressed into Exercise Clothes

Put on something comfortable and motivating. When you wear clothes that make you feel confident, it changes your entire energy. You’re about to move your body, so dress like you mean it.

08:45 AM: Go on a Walk

Nature is a natural healer. Fall walks are different—the cool air on your skin, the sound of the leaves crunching under your feet. This is your time to reflect, breathe deeply, and get grounded. If you have a park or a quiet path near you, make it a daily part of your routine.

09:20 AM: Shower

Cleanse your body after your walk. Use this time to refresh, wash away any negative energy, and feel ready to take on the day.

09:40 AM: Get Dressed, Makeup, and Skincare

Look good, feel good. Whether you’re going for a natural look or full glam, take the time to get dressed and take care of your skin. The fall air can be harsh, so hydration is key. Choose makeup and skincare that make you feel like that girl—confident, glowing, and unstoppable.

10:10 AM: Breakfast

Nourish your body with something wholesome. Think oatmeal with cinnamon, fresh fruit, or a smoothie packed with nutrients. Your body is your temple, and breakfast is the foundation for the energy you’ll carry through the day.

10:30 AM: Read or Relax

Give yourself some quiet time to read a book, scroll through inspiring content, or simply relax with a cup of tea. This is your moment to reset before diving into the tasks of the day.

10:45 AM: Chores or Clean Your Room

A clean space equals a clear mind. Take a few minutes to tidy up your room or do a quick chore. When your environment is clutter-free, it’s easier to focus and be productive.

11:00 AM: Go Outside

Get outside and breathe in the fresh air. Whether it’s a quick walk around your neighborhood or sitting outside with a journal, the key is to disconnect from screens and reconnect with yourself.

12:00 PM: Lunch

Eat something nourishing, but light. Fall is the time to embrace warming, seasonal foods like soups, salads, or roasted vegetables. Fuel your body with what it needs to thrive.

12:45 PM: Practice Your Sport

Whether it’s yoga, tennis, or hitting the gym, moving your body is a priority. Find something you enjoy and make it part of your daily routine. Being that girl means taking care of your physical health as much as your mental health.

01:45 PM: Snack

Refuel with a light snack—think fruit, nuts, or a smoothie. Keep your energy steady throughout the day.

02:00 PM: Go to the Pool or Sea

If you’re lucky enough to live near water, take advantage of it. Swimming is not only great for your body, but it also soothes the mind. Being near water can help you reset and feel refreshed.

03:30 PM: Lay Down and Listen to Your Mind

Take a break. Lay down, close your eyes, and tune into your thoughts. Let your mind wander, reflect on the day so far, and notice any emotions or insights that come up. This moment of stillness is crucial for reconnecting with yourself and realigning your intentions.

04:00 PM: Pinterest/TikTok/Instagram

Now, you can scroll. But remember, you’re not mindlessly wasting time—you’re gathering inspiration, keeping up with trends, and fueling your creative side. Stay mindful of how much time you spend, though.

04:45 PM: Snack

Grab another quick snack to keep your energy up for the rest of the day. Fall snacks like pumpkin seeds or roasted nuts are perfect.

05:00 PM: Free Time

This is your time to do whatever you feel like. Whether it’s working on a personal project, catching up with friends, or even napping, use this hour however you need to.

06:00 PM: Dinner

End your day with a nourishing meal. Keep it light but filling—something like roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a cozy bowl of soup. Dinner is your chance to reflect on your day and wind down.

06:20 PM: Go on a Walk

A second walk might sound like a lot, but trust me, it’s worth it. Evening walks are calming, especially as the sun sets and the cool fall breeze hits. It’s the perfect way to close your day.

07:00 PM: Netflix

Yes, even that girl needs downtime. Relax with your favorite show or movie. This is your time to unwind, laugh, and let go of any stress from the day.

08:30 PM: Snack

A light evening snack, something simple like a piece of dark chocolate or a herbal tea, is the perfect way to satisfy your late-night cravings.

08:40 PM: Shower

Take another shower to cleanse away the day’s energy. This time, focus on relaxation. Maybe light a candle, play some soothing music, and let yourself fully unwind.

09:00 PM: Skincare

Nighttime skincare is essential. Hydrate your skin with a rich moisturizer, and take time to massage it in. Your skin deserves some love, especially before you sleep.

09:10 PM: Face Mask

Apply a face mask—something hydrating or detoxifying, depending on your skin’s needs. This extra step will leave your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

09:15 PM: Read or Watch a Movie

You’ve had a full day, and now it’s time to wind down even more. Whether you choose to dive into a good book or watch a cozy fall movie, make sure you’re fully relaxing before bed.

09:45 PM: Chill

Take a moment to reflect on your day. Maybe journal or simply sit in silence and enjoy the peace. You’ve earned it.

11:00 PM: Go to Sleep

Rest is crucial to becoming the best version of yourself. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep so you can wake up tomorrow and do it all over again—refreshed, recharged, and ready to keep glowing.

This is how that girl navigates fall—focused, intentional, and grounded. It’s about making the most of each day, treating yourself with love, and creating routines that serve your highest self. Fall is your time to evolve. Are you read.
