Lay Everything Out Before Bed
Lay out everything the night before.
Put out your coffee cup in the kitchen and lay your keys next to them.
It takes seconds to do and could save you a huge hassle in the morning.
It doesnt matter how grandiose or simple they are.
Check them off as you do them.
It makes you feel accomplished, and gives you more motivation to keep going.
Wake Up Earlier
Wake up earlier, obviously.
Get Enough Sleep
Actually get enough sleep to not be miserable in the morning.
No Electronics In Bed
Stop taking electronics to bed.
You look at them all day every day.
Its time to give your brain and your eyes a rest.
Read books that arent electronic.
Just lay there and breathe out the crappy things that happened that day.
Learn how to calm yourself down enough to lull yourself to sleep.
Drink Water First
Drink a glass of water when you first wake up.
Streamline Your Routine
Make your morning routine more efficient.
Get Moving
Move around.
An intense workout is not feasible for all of us.
But you’ve got the option to stretch yourself out on the floor.
You may call it pointless but its not.
It gets you moving.
Have Something Exciting Later
Be excited for something at the end of the day.
Its something to keep you moving even as your energy slows down with the day.
Check The Weather
Always check the weather.
I have an app that texts me if its going to rain, and at what time.
Figure it out the night before and pack your umbrella.
Ive tried this and I find myself so much calmer and happier if I do so.
Do Kind Things
Do little things to make other people happy.
Leave your partner coffee by the side of the bed.
Text people good morning.
It was the best wake up anybody could ask for.
