A New Morning Routine



I'm not a morning person.

Never have been. In high school, my mom always had to drag me out of bed, kicking and screaming. And once I started freelancing from home two years ago, it only seemed to get worse. I could start on assignments whenever I wanted to, so sleep in? YES. Check Instagram and Facebook for 30 minutes to an hour cuddled under the blankets? DOUBLE YES.

But it's always one of those things that feels good in the moment and then feels like crap afterwards. I would always roll out of bed, sometimes literally, feeling yucky. Like the world is moving and creating and doing while I'm making a nice indent in my bed.

So, I'm starting a new morning routine. 

One that's not too much for this novice morning person, but enough to challenge me to get my butt up and do something.

7:20 a.m.: Alarm goes off
7:30 a.m.: Get up and put on yoga pants
7:30-7:45 a.m.: YOGA
7:45-8:00 a.m.: Get ready for the day
8:00-8:15 a.m.: Tidy up house, let out the dogs
8:15-8:45 a.m.: Devo time
8:45-9:00 a.m.: Breakfast
9:00 a.m.: Start working!

I've done variations of this for the past few weeks, but this is the goal!

Are you a morning person? If so, tell me how you do it! I need help!!
