Morning are rough we all can agree but there are ways to get over the morning blues. Some things seem trivial while others are seems hard core for some people.

1. Coffee

Most people's best friend or for some of the things that run in their veins. It can be bitter or it can be sweet that is up to you to decide. If you don't like coffee then that is fine but I advise you to try it with sugar and milk. Because personally the only way I will drink it is if I have a little coffee with your sugar lol.

2. Music

Another great way to get your self up and running in the morning is through music. Pop in some earbuds and listen to some up beat music that will get you moving.

3. Eat some breakfast

It is the most important meal of the day and you really don't wanna skip it. It gives you so much energy in the morning. The best breakfast would be eggs, toasts, and coffee or orange juice because it would fill you up and keep you full for a bit. Sometimes we can only get time in to eat a granola bar, cereal, or nothing at all.

4. Alone Time

Sometimes it takes a person a few minutes to full wake up. Meaning they need a little bit of alone time to get themselves together before getting their day started.

5.  Reading

Not everyone's favorite thing to do in the morning. But just reading a little something in the morning can help your brain get a good kick start. No, not reading on your phone, computer, tablet, or any other electronic device but out of a book, newspaper, or notes you wrote for class.

6. Exercise

Possibly some people's worst enemies. Exercise in the morning helps wake you up. Not like full blown body workouts that make you heave when you are done. More like light squats, stretching, or a few push ups. Just some light stuff to get your blood pumping.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
