Are you a morning person? Mornings can be tough for me; but I have made some changes to my routine and it has been paying off.
| BEFORE | AFTER |
| Wake up to the most obnoxious alarm possible! | Changed my tone; I set a gentler alarm sound at 6am and then the obnoxious one 5 minutes later (as a back-up). |
| Shower –get in and get out as quickly as possible. | Shower –with an invigorating shower steamer scent; I spend more time in the shower so I have implemented a better skin & hair care routine. |
| Brush my teeth. | Brush my teeth, floss & mouthwash, while listening to music. |
| No make-up; I stopped bothering because of having to wear masks. | Moisturize, use my amethyst roller and do my eyebrows. |
| Scramble around to find clothes to wear. | I started picking out my clothes the night before. |
| Play a game on my phone & check email. | I try not to ‘play’ on my phone; if I do I participate in a group message thread with my work besties; we send funny teacher memes, motivational sayings or random gifs. I now only check my email once I get to work. |
| No breakfast; but sometimes remember to take my multivitamin | Breakfast! The difference a piece of toast or yogurt or oatmeal makes is huge. It also gives me time to make sure I take my multivitamin consistently. |
| Leave the house without lunch. | Grab my water bottle & lunch that I prepared the night before. |
