Let’s face it, mornings can be tough, especially for those of us who aren’t exactly morning people. But here’s the thing: Hoda Kotb, the early bird extraordinaire, has some game-changing tips that could revolutionize your mornings. Now, Hoda’s day begins way earlier than most people’s, but her tricks can work for anyone. “Here’s the deal,” Hoda recently told The Cut, “don’t hit snooze. I know, you think those ten extra minutes will be amazing, but trust me, it’s not. The moment you hit snooze, your day is already off track, because you’re already playing catch-up.”
What’s impressive is that Hoda not only dishes out great advice but she also follows her own wisdom. “I don’t waste time lingering,” she confessed. “I’ve got two alarms set on my phone. One goes off at 3:00 a.m., and the other at 3:15 a.m. I’m one of those people who pops right up when the alarm sounds.” Talk about dedication! Hoda is a true early riser, and she makes it look easy.
Hoda's Morning Ritual: Gratitude and Reflection
Once Hoda’s out of bed, her morning routine doesn’t stop there. She takes a refreshing shower and then carves out a few moments to reflect on the blessings in her life. “I like to sit down at our kitchen table with a journal,” she explained. “It doesn’t matter if I’m running late or if I have all the time in the world, I always make time for this. In the journal, I write down three things I’m grateful for in that moment. And then I jot down one amazing thing that happened the day before. It’s like setting the tone for the day ahead. Aww, right?!

After wrapping up her morning routine, Hoda heads out the door, but not before stopping by Starbucks for her favorite breakfast fix: the Sous Vide Egg Bites. “My mom wasn’t exactly thrilled about them,” she joked. “She said, ‘They’re full of sodium, stop eating them.’ But hey, who cares? They taste great, and that’s all that matters to me.”
Hoda’s Family Time: A Heartwarming Conclusion to Her Day
One of the many blessings in Hoda’s life is her 2-year-old daughter, Haley Joy, who she looks forward to coming home to every day. Once her workday is over, Hoda switches off her phone and dedicates her full attention to her little one. “Haley is like a magic eraser for all the stress and pain in my life,” she gushed. “I might come home a little stressed from the day, but the moment I see her, everything changes. I realize, ‘This is what truly matters. Why was I even worried?’” It’s moments like these that remind us what’s truly important in life.
