just started a new routine where i have to go make myself a tea/coffee before i'm allowed on my phone in the morning. it really makes sure i'm awake and will hopefully help me spend less time doomscrolling, cuz the morning is always the worst time of day for me

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?

I think i’m gonna get back to no screen time first thing in the morning, maybe for like the first few hours upon me waking up? Bc I feel like my morning routine has been taking longer than it has to lol. I can make breakfast, get my makeup done quicker and be ready for work sooner with no distractions.

Don’t bring your phone. Check it before if you need to. Bring a cup of water. Literally wake up as you walk around the block.
Trying to put this into my routine. You have to budget your time if you have early work in the morning, but it was refreshing.

This is Lucy, my (technically parents) cat who I miss so so much because I no longer live in the same house as her :(
She's a bit of a bitch and i love her for it.

i've always found trust to be the biggest breaker of fear. sometimes it's trust that your support system will help you if the fear is too much. sometimes it's trust that you've been here before, and you've already made it out alive.
though i was previously a platform diver and throwing myself off a 10 meter platform multiple times a week made everything else feel a lot easier. i don't recommend that one haha!
