Believe me when I say this. I, like the rest of my generation, am no early riser. I try to be, honestly. I try so hard, but there is just something so tantalizing about snoozing your alarm and slamming your face back into the pillow and drifting off into the dream scape for the fifth time. As of recent, I think I have made a ground breaking discovery on how to handle it. I am here to give you some insider tips on how to conquer the wee am hours.
1.Get your feet on the ground.
Honestly, what I have come to notice with waking up early is that it's about getting the lower portion of your body out of bed and onto the floor. And no, I don't mean just slide off the bed and continue your 8-hour power nap on the hard wood floors. I mean sit up and get those feet firmly planted on the dang ground.
2. Get that dang coffee.
If you don't like coffee then you can always settle for a nice, hot cup of caffeinated tea. Or go all in and just put Red-bull in your coffee pot. Hahaha, just kidding please don't do that... oh, my!
3. Get a good book or funny video ready.
I always like to start my days off with some of my favorite You-Tubers. A lot of my morning routine include: wake up, coffee, Grace Helbig, Hannah Hart and Mamrie Hart, with the occasional side of James Corden. If reading is more your style then hey, not a problem. Grab your favorite book, a hot or cold glass of whatever you love and enjoy.
4. Get a look at that view.
It's no secret that the sunrise is beautiful. I mean come on, if you don't like the sunrise you're either lying or a vampire. Or both. Who knows.
5. Get grateful.
My friend, you just woke up. You just got to live another day. And it's still early! Get out there and enjoy life, be grateful for what you have and those around you.
