Wake up early and happy!

the-diary-of-a-failure:

I like to wake up almost unnecessarily early. Why? Because I simply love calm mornings. I get to relax and get ready for my usually very busy day. Here are some tips how to wake up very early:

  • Prepare everything the evening before. Clothes, school bag and even food, if you can
  • Put your phone/alarm clock as far from your bed as you can so you gotta get up to turn it off.
  • Snooze button is not your friend BUT if you have trouble waking up right away, have a three alarms set. Firts one 20 minutes before the time you want to wake up, second the time you want to wake up and the last twenty minutes after. The first one will wake you up a little and if you fall asleep for 20 minutes, it won’t be a deep sleep. The last one is to make sure you don’t oversleep.
  • Brush your teeth and wash your face immediately after waking up. It will make you much less sleepy.
  • Make your bed. It will make returning into it a bit harder.
  • Put on something warm (hoodie and socks) and the stretch and move around
  • Good breakfast! Take time adn eat something you love! Warm meals will get you bonus points.
  • Read, meditate and relax after you made sure you are not sleepy anymore.
  • Listen to uplifting and upbeat music.
  • Include pets into your morning routine. Trust me.
  • Include people if you want (I personally don’t want to but yya know…)

I hope I was helpful and good mornings!

I can’t believe it’s November already! That means I’ve only got six weeks to get my thesis finished – I’ve got to admit, I’m starting to feel the pressure! But I’ve got my chai, I’ve got my Christmas Cookie candle, and I’ve got some leftover Halloween candy, so thesis edits – let’s do this 💪✨
