“Soft mornings” are Gen Z’s new favorite viral routine. The #girlboss hustle culture days are being rejected, because it turns out that Gen Z’s love for coziness extends to their morning routines, too. Soft mornings are all about starting their day without pressure—no jarring alarms, no immediate email checking, just intentional slowness. And as more Gen Z rebel against burnout (which 83% have experienced, according to YPulse), they’re embracing this approach to give themselves permission to ease into their day. Unlike “bed rotting” where they intentionally hibernate in their sheets doomscrolling on TikTok, soft mornings are mindful—think sipping tea slowly, gentle walks, or journaling before touching a phone. Search interest in these chill routines has taken off, with TikTok creators showing how they create peaceful mornings with soft music, morning meditation, and boundaries around technology. (Medium)
