5 Steps to a Great Morning

Chances are, you're not a morning person. And that's just awesome- because most people aren't morning people, excluding me. That's right- I'm a total morning person. I get up early, wide awake, and love to be awake. I DO love sleeping, a lot, but there's just something about waking up early that gives you some sort of spark that inspires you and wakes you up a bit. Don't you want that spark? I thought you might, so I made this easy check-list to make you have an amazing morning every day. Also, in case I haven't mentioned it, no one in my family really enjoys getting up early like me- they could sleep all day if they wanted to, and they have.

Step 1: Wake up and turn on ALL of the lights in the house. This brightens things up a little, even if it's still dark outside, and you're less likely to fall back asleep in blinding light. 

Step 2: Make yourself a hot cup of something- like tea or coffee. A little caffeine is going to be part of the spark that you get from waking up early. Something hot will wake you up a little bit.

Step 3: Get dressed as soon as you wake up, I do this because I'm more likely to be really tired in my pajamas, and this saves time so that you don't have to worry about getting dressed later when you're a little more busy. 

Step 4: Don't lie on the couch and read or watch TV. Those are both things that will make you sleepy again- don't do that. What I do is I get up and sit in the kitchen, and start blogging.

Step 5: Get in a little exercise, maybe some stretching. This is going to stimulate your muscles and wake you up a little bit. 

This won't make you become a morning person, but you're 5 steps closer to having a great start to every day. Thanks for reading!
