I’m not going to share my morning routine because I am the mother of an infant and a toddler so obviously most people here cannot relate lol
But this does not have to be complicated. get an alarm clock, put on the other side of your room. You will have to physically get up to turn it off. Then go pee and brush your teeth. Ta da! You are now awake. Chug a glass of water and drink whatever your preferred beverage is to keep it that way.
I will say, if you consistently are so tired that you cannot get up in the morning, you probably need to be going to bed earlier.

I can’t call it a morning routine because i work night shifts so i wake up around 9/10 am.
However , i had to trick my mind to be able to wake up In shape.
Let’s go straight to the point :
- to be able to wake up you should sleep, ironic Right ? Well hear me out, you can’t expect yourself to wake up at the same time as your alarm if you barely had your beauty sleep, sleeping early = waking up in shape ( yes i said in shape and not early, focus on the healthy sleep rather than waking up earlier).
- to be able to sleep peacefully you should prepare it (Our elders were right, it’s that god damn phone) - i once happen to experience an internet outage for a full 24h so i couldn’t use my phone or laptop to watch anything, guess what happened ? I slept in the dark, with no noise around 2am, when did i wake up ? 8 am !! Without even feeling tired! - so NO screen before bed time ! Try it slowly (10mins - 15mins - 30mins - until u can ro a full hour)
- the no screen time doesn’t mean staying in the dark tho ! Dim your lights as much as possible, read something (PAPER ONLY - no ebook no digital distraction) 5/10/20 pages doesn’t matter, just prepare your mind for peace and no distractions.
- don’t overthink your night overthinking, use it to your advantage, instead of thinking something that stressed you, switch it to “manifesting“ your future, think about your next trip, imagine yourself already in that city/country, where you wanna go etc … (trust me in no time you will fall asleep)
- one in position, keep your eyes closed, don’t open them no matter what, remember no distractions are allowed.
Once you wake up, depends on you, create your own morning routine.
- to wake up, stupid as it seems but TALK to yourself, yes ! Talk to yourself, say (i am awake i am awake i am awake, in 3 i will get off my bed, 1,2,3 and GET UP)
- NO phone at all cost ! (avoid that dopamine hit please ! Stay in the silence ! Feel your body, smell the fresh morning air by opening the window etc…)
- Drink Water first thing in the morning! -They call it internal shower or smth like that lol i don’t know- but it helps get you a bit more awake too.
- wash your face, don’t be harsh on yourself, use warm water to wake up slowly, consistency is key, slowly you will switch to cold water.
- maybe even take a fresh shower ! Showers help a loot to get the needed energy.
- prepare your breakfast, try to avoid anything sweet tho, keep it healthy and simple.
With those simple steps, you can add more and more to build your morning routine, you can add :
- walking
- cycling
- reading a book
- gym
- listening to slow music as u prepare your breakfast and lunch for work
Etc …

Turn off alarm, put on top 10, pee, go to kitchen, prep moka pot, wash dishes while coffee brews, finish dishes, grab mug, add oat milk to coffee, head to living room, open blinds/windows, drink coffee, sit in the sun, put mug in the sink, go to bathroom, brush teeth, morning skin care, deodorant, do hair, head to bedroom, put on lotion, get dressed, make bed, do makeup, wash hands, put on hand cream, check bus schedule, pack bag, head out.
Things are subject to change obvi, some mornings I’m hungry so I make and eat breakfast, some days I don’t wear makeup, some days I didn’t pick out my outfit the night before and have to take the time in the morning to figure out what I’ll wear. But for the most part, this is what my mornings look like.

Don’t bring your phone. Check it before if you need to. Bring a cup of water. Literally wake up as you walk around the block.
Trying to put this into my routine. You have to budget your time if you have early work in the morning, but it was refreshing.

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
