“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days.”
— Annie Dillard
What is the morning care kit?
The morning care kit is a simple 7 day course that helps you build a nourishing self-care routine for more calm and ease in your life.
It’s designed with 3 core principles in mind:
Wellbeing is the essential foundation to life, and all of life’s pursuits.
To nurture wellbeing is a daily practice, not an occasional activity.
The morning routine is the most powerful way to do this practice — and to set your intention for the rest of your day.
How a morning routine can change your life
A morning routine is simply a container that creates time and space, everyday, for your internal commitments — to your wellbeing, creative pursuits, or bigger life goals. In a world of distractions and external commitments, it directs your attention to the important, non-urgent things; the things we easily neglect.
Possibilities for your morning routine:
Practice inner peace and calm through meditation and yoga.
Make time for exercise everyday.
Nurture a consistent creative practice: ie, writing, painting, music.
Learn a new language, or develop a career skill.
Start building your own business.
Connect to your deeper intuition and internal wisdom.
Cultivate a more loving, attentive relationship with yourself.
Do you believe me when I say that even ten minutes — day by day, little by little — can change your life? I invite you to try it for six months, and write me.
Why we struggle to stick to new habits
How many times have you attempted a new habit with a burst of enthusiasm, only for it to trail off, weeks later, and remembered with sheepishness, and bit of guilt? I have. Here are common reasons for aborted habits:
Your motivations are not clear, connected, or powerful enough.
The routine is too complicated and effortful.
The commitment feels too rigid — and on bad days, it’s a drag.
There’s no built-in structure for consistency and reinforcement.
I designed this 7 day kit to address all of these obstacles, one by one. My goal is not to give you a morning routine to try out for 7 days, or even 30 days. My goal is to teach you how to build a routine; any routine — that can stay with you for life. This is what I mean by an indestructible routine.
What you’ll learn in this toolkit:
The simple recipe to an indestructible routine
How to intentionally design any habit from scratch
Ways to make your routine feel effortless
Three strategies for filtering out all distractions
The secret to building daily consistency
Processes to evolve the routine with your changing life
A simple, 7-day toolkit to build your morning routine
The morning care kit comes in two formats — a paper kit, and a digital kit. The paper kit is ideal if you’d like a handmade, pleasurably tactile experience. Each copy is printed and mailed with care from my NYC studio, and ships in 3-5 business days. The digital kit is instantly downloadable, printable, editable, and comes with audio recordings of me reading the lessons.

It’s for you if you wish to tend to your life’s work, day by day, explore your creative expression, start your own business, grow your mind, body, and soul, or to simply exist in a state of deeper peace, connectedness, and joy. It all starts with wellbeing. And wellbeing starts with each day.
Who are you?
My name is Kening. I’m an artist and writer whose work centers around wellbeing, emotions, introspection, and relationships to self, place, and other. Sometimes my inner world looks like a jungle mid-thunderstorm. Other times, it’s a clear, crystal blue lake. A daily wellness practice is not an option for me; it’s a necessity. I can’t live, love, or do any meaningful work without nourishing my body and psyche. It’s a daily ongoing process. My morning routine has had the deepest and most lasting impact on my life.
I first started a morning routine in 2015. I wrote a long blog post detailing the entire journey (and lessons learned), which you can read here. Then, I continued to write about wellness. Two years ago, after a distracted, indulgent summer, I created a little booklet and titled it Camp Kening. It was full of grand plans and various notes to self. My friends were very excited by it, and encouraged me to make it into a bigger thing. Over time, it’s evolved into this care kit course. I’m excited for you to try it.
