Just a super simple morning routine. Mine is wake up, feed cats, read for 30 minutes, brush teeth, wash face, make bed, breakfast, get ready. Super simple but helps so so much. I feel so accomplished after reading like I just woke up and read and now my brain is super chill and ready to do the next thing. And since itās not time based, it doesnāt matter if you wake up super late. When I wake up late and feel bad about it, I can still do my morning routine, so my day isnāt ruined. Reading also helps me stay off my phone in the morning which usually makes or breaks my morning. Just try out a very basic and easy routine and see how you feel. Youāll probably feel great and then keep doing it.

štbh I been struggling to have a proper morning routine bc Iām not a morning person. But I must convertā¦. My brain hurts from immediately frying it with my āroutineā iPhone doomscroll the moment I awaken.
what Iāve 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, Iām 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. Itās hard when everything regarding school / work & friends are on this little device :(.
This āroutineā may sound so normal to someoneā¦. but keeping this habit with a no phone routine is so helpful for me. Itās so important to get my āmundaneā 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, Iām 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 morningā¦ 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?

šStarted a new habit where I wake up and immediately read a few pages of my book instead of getting lost in my phone for those first minutes of the morning.
Makes me feel more balanced and accomplished as I start my day.

šI canāt call it a morning routine because i work night shifts so i wake up around 9/10 am.
However , i had to trick my mind to be able to wake up In shape.
Letās go straight to the point :
- to be able to wake up you should sleep, ironic Right ? Well hear me out, you canāt expect yourself to wake up at the same time as your alarm if you barely had your beauty sleep, sleeping early = waking up in shape ( yes i said in shape and not early, focus on the healthy sleep rather than waking up earlier).
- to be able to sleep peacefully you should prepare it (Our elders were right, itās that god damn phone) - i once happen to experience an internet outage for a full 24h so i couldnāt use my phone or laptop to watch anything, guess what happened ? I slept in the dark, with no noise around 2am, when did i wake up ? 8 am !! Without even feeling tired! - so NO screen before bed time ! Try it slowly (10mins - 15mins - 30mins - until u can ro a full hour)
- the no screen time doesnāt mean staying in the dark tho ! Dim your lights as much as possible, read something (PAPER ONLY - no ebook no digital distraction) 5/10/20 pages doesnāt matter, just prepare your mind for peace and no distractions.
- donāt overthink your night overthinking, use it to your advantage, instead of thinking something that stressed you, switch it to āmanifestingā your future, think about your next trip, imagine yourself already in that city/country, where you wanna go etc ā¦ (trust me in no time you will fall asleep)
- one in position, keep your eyes closed, donāt open them no matter what, remember no distractions are allowed.
Once you wake up, depends on you, create your own morning routine.
- to wake up, stupid as it seems but TALK to yourself, yes ! Talk to yourself, say (i am awake i am awake i am awake, in 3 i will get off my bed, 1,2,3 and GET UP) - NO phone at all cost ! (avoid that dopamine hit please ! Stay in the silence ! Feel your body, smell the fresh morning air by opening the window etcā¦) - Drink Water first thing in the morning! -They call it internal shower or smth like that lol i donāt know- but it helps get you a bit more awake too. - wash your face, donāt be harsh on yourself, use warm water to wake up slowly, consistency is key, slowly you will switch to cold water. - maybe even take a fresh shower ! Showers help a loot to get the needed energy. - prepare your breakfast, try to avoid anything sweet tho, keep it healthy and simple.
With those simple steps, you can add more and more to build your morning routine, you can add : - walking - cycling - reading a book - gym - listening to slow music as u prepare your breakfast and lunch for work Etc ā¦

The quiet rage in this song is so good. And the build up! He just gets louder and angrier, itās amazing. And the guitar is so good. I love this song, until the day I die.
