In this segment of Caroline Cavanagh’s video on the power of a morning routine, she introduces a pyramid model of self‑care where the highest tier is caring for yourself first to become fully resourced with energy. She explains that she dedicates the first two hours of each day to activities that “top her battery”: walking her dogs, exercising, and meditating. These practices are presented as essential to replenish her energy so she can meet the challenges of the day with resilience, reflecting her broader message that a structured morning routine is a cornerstone for managing anxiety and maintaining overall well‑being.

So, of the pyramid, imagining that there's tiers, you look after yourself at the top and you do all you can to get yourself as fully resourced with energy as possible. So, for me, the first 2 hours of my day, I walk the dogs, I do some exercise, I do some meditation, because they're all things that top my battery up to make sure that I am fully resourced for whatever is going to hit me during the day.
