Rec'd on 😃 What Gets you out of bed in the morning?

On days when I don’t have a concrete agenda to plow through I struggle to peel myself out of the sheets. This is what helps me: - I leave my shades open the night before so my body wakes up with the sun. - I try to keep my room clean. Mostly to avoid the feeling of being “stuck”. - I think of breakfast, & use it to treat myself. The excitement of trying a new recipe or eating something familiar is sometimes enough to catapult me off my mattress. - A nice shower. Steam, music, eucalyptus. Make the experience enjoyable. I’ve been thinking about buying these waterproof lamps to upgrade my shower environment. Ambient light over the big light always.

Open my eyes and Get out of bed

Ha ha but seriously I like to get up, turn on my manual espresso machine so that it has time to heat up, and just start doing things right away to push through the groggy sleepiness. If I loved myself I would do some kind of ten-minute stretch video like this. Once I move out of the satanic office park in which I currently reside I will start taking walks with my dog first thing in the morning. It’s 25 minutes long but during some of the hardest times of my life listening to this immediately upon waking up and before even getting out of bed has been a soothing balm to my soul…

GO OUTSIDE

ive been struggling with getting my mornings started, im either doom scrolling in bed or just snoozing my alarm for hours. i’ve found that if i start my day by stepping outside while drinking some coffee/tea it changes my day sooooo much. Suddenly life is rainbows and butterflies.

WHAT SHOULD A MORNING ROUTINE LOOK LIKE …RLLY?

tbh I been struggling to have a proper morning routine bc I’m not a morning person. But I must convert…. My brain hurts from immediately frying it with my “routine” iPhone doomscroll the moment I awaken. what I’ve been doing to change this up and not feel absolutely fried is : First, of all waking up. Make my bed as well as I can. Immediately washing my face & brushing my teeth. Throughout all of this, I’m also avoiding turning on any fluorescent lights and just using the peeking morning light as my guide. Then I make my breakfast in the peace n quiet :3!! I try to not use my phone until 30-45 min after I wake up, and if I can go longer I will. It’s hard when everything regarding school / work & friends are on this little device :(. This “routine” may sound so normal to someone…. but keeping this habit with a no phone routine is so helpful for me. It’s so important to get my “mundane” but necessary tasks to jump start my day without any unnecessary stress to distract me from them. Cause especially during those days where the first thing I do is grab my phone, I’m completely thrown out of whack and living off of stress. I do things like get distracted, by an unexpected assignment or shift change, and forget to wash my face or drink water in the morning… Then I feel out of whack. So ya, what do you guys do to make your morning routine the way it is to set up your day?
