Theyāll get you up and out, especially if you can schedule morning activities. also, if you have friends who work or are morning people, text them when you wake up and maybe they can help you stay accountable and get going. Or if people in your house get up for work, get up with them and have coffee or breakfast together. Socializing might be the best way to wake up your brain.
The simplest change that helped me the most was going to bed and waking up at the same times every day. And then no naps. Make the bed when you get up so it isnāt so tempting during the day.
If you want to challenge yourself, look for a job or volunteering opportunities.

I canāt 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.
Letās go straight to the point :
- to be able to wake up you should sleep, ironic Right ? Well hear me out, you canāt 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, itās that god damn phone) - i once happen to experience an internet outage for a full 24h so i couldnāt 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 doesnāt 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 doesnāt matter, just prepare your mind for peace and no distractions.
- donāt overthink your night overthinking, use it to your advantage, instead of thinking something that stressed you, switch it to āmanifestingā your future, think about your next trip, imagine yourself already in that city/country, where you wanna go etc ā¦ (trust me in no time you will fall asleep)
- one in position, keep your eyes closed, donāt 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 etcā¦)
- Drink Water first thing in the morning! -They call it internal shower or smth like that lol i donāt know- but it helps get you a bit more awake too.
- wash your face, donāt 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 ā¦

On days when I donāt have a concrete agenda to plow through I struggle to peel myself out of the sheets. This is what helps me:
- I leave my shades open the night before so my body wakes up with the sun.
- I try to keep my room clean. Mostly to avoid the feeling of being āstuckā.
- I think of breakfast, & use it to treat myself. The excitement of trying a new recipe or eating something familiar is sometimes enough to catapult me off my mattress.
- A nice shower. Steam, music, eucalyptus. Make the experience enjoyable. Iāve been thinking about buying these waterproof lamps to upgrade my shower environment. Ambient light over the big light always.

Iām 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.

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
People whoāve paid attention wonāt be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

Iām 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadnāt blossomed yet. Iām a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. Iām good at conversing with strangers. Iām usually the oldest person at the show but donāt feel like it. Iām good at being helpful. Iām sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. Iām a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. Iām a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I donāt use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. āļøš
