How I became a MORNING PERSON

I used to have the HARDEST time getting up in the morning. I would sleep in constantly and it really affected my energy, mental health and productivity.

I would sleep til the very last minute then rush to get ready and get out the door. Which made me stressed, tired all morning, and just made me wish I could go back to bed. It made me have a harder time going to sleep at night which just made me sleep in later. It was a vicious cycle that I had to break.

These super simple steps make waking up literally so much easier and made the mornings enjoyable!

The hardest part about getting up early is simply getting out of bed. That’s why I found soft ways to wake myself up. They made my mornings so much more enjoyable and now I love being up in the mornings! It’s so nice to have time to get ready and have time for myself before heading off to work. Waking up early naturally helped me go to bed earlier and get more sleep each night.

... Read moreWaking up early can significantly improve both mental health and productivity. Starting your day with intention allows for uninterrupted personal time, reducing morning stress. Simple changes like gradually adjusting your wake-up time can help ease the transition. Avoiding the snooze button is crucial; even just one hit can lead to grogginess. Utilize natural light to energize your mind, and resist checking your phone first thing to maintain focus and clarity for the day ahead. Incorporating morning stretches and cold water splashes can boost circulation and alertness. Consider keeping a cozy sweatshirt nearby for a seamless transition from the warmth of your bed. Lastly, upbeat music can elevate your mood, making mornings enjoyable and setting a positive tone for the rest of the day.

HOW I BECAME A MORNING PERSON
Becoming a morning person didn’t happen overnight, but building little habits that I actually enjoy made it so much easier. 🌞 ☁️ Making my bed + a slow start with something fun (reading or Pinterest scrolls) ☁️ A skincare routine I look forward to ☁️ A yummy drink + breakfast to fuel my day ☁
