5 Ways To Wake Up Feeling Like Sunshine, Because We All Need To Start Our Day Off Right

So, I know we all start off our day differently. Some start their day at night and others start in the morning. Whenever you decide to start your day, I have a few tips to help your day start off right. Use these tips and you'll wake up feeling like sunshine!

1. Immediately Make your Bed

The first step to feeling like sunshine is to immediately make your bed. Don't think about anything else but making sure your bed looks pretty. Make sure the fitted sheet is on. Make sure the regular sheet is on and make sure to smooth that comforter out. Arrange your pillows and have fun with it. Make sure you have on your beautiful smile. It will check one thing off your list and make you feel accomplished. Feeling accomplished means wanting to complete more tasks.

2. Turn on that Feel-Good Music

The second step is to turn on that music that makes you want to dance or sing at the top of your lungs.This will start you off in a good mood and will get your blood pumping. When your blood is pumping, you start to get energized. You start to smile more and get into a vibe. You can take this time to fix up your room if need be. You can have a 5 minute dance session. Anything you want to do at this moment is fair game. Don't check your phone though. That's off limits for right now. Just make sure you're feeling good and your heart is pumping.

3. Drink a glass of water

After all that dancing and possibly off-key singing, you've probably worked up a sweat. This part is probably one of the most important parts of your morning. Drinking a glass of water will allow you to feel refreshed and full of sunshine. This can kickstart your digestive system and begin waking your body up. Doing this before eating anything else will make you re-think what you're going to have for breakfast. In my case, I was ready to have some toaster strudels. But, knowing I started with water, I add a side of fruit with that to continue the "healthy" wave.

4. Make your To-Do List

I know, I know, a to-do list seems like its too much work for just waking up. But, this will help your organize the day and prioritize what needs to get done. The list doesn't have to be every single task you need to do. But, the most important things need to go on that list. For example, homework assignments that are due, important test and possible study times, and work need to go on the list. Anything that you deem important needs to be written down. This will also give you a sense of accomplishment that will make you want to tackle those tasks.

5. Check your Phone

Give yourself 10-15 minutes to check your phone. This can be Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat or Tik-Tok. Whatever you need to check you check. This is your time to use your device for things other than work. When you give yourself this time to check all those things, you won't feel guilty. You will be up and about so you want check your socials then roll back over. It is key to do this after everything else because you are more likely to actually start your day.

These are tips that are helpful to me and I hope that they are of some assistance to you. I hope that you will find your own rountine that works for you!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
