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.

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…

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.

I love to see the sunrise, which provides enough motivation to get up on tough days
I know I sleep better when I do my full night routine, so that motivates me to shut my phone off early and do my stuff

Am I a big fat lesbian? Am I a straight board you can iron your clothes on? Am I somewhere in between? What if my boyfriend knew I ask myself these questions daily? I have the feeling I won’t keep him around long enough to grow suspicious. Who cares anyway?
Maybe I do.
