Being a Morning Person

Hey!

I have recently been loving mornings, and I know that a lot of people hate mornings with a passion, but I don’t. Here’s why:

In the mornings I have the feeling that the whole day lies ahead of me, and there are endless possibilities. I am a lot more motivated in the mornings than in the afternoons, where I often find myself binge-watching “Friends”, oops. But this is what I do in the mornings to make sure I will have an amazing day:

I get up (when I don’t have school) at about 8am, sometimes earlier, sometimes later; it depends on my bedtime the night before.

I have quite an obsession with sunrises.

I have a quick shower and get dressed. Then I make myself a healthy and yummy breakfast, such as porridge with fresh fruit, bread with squashed banana, fruit-muesli or, if I want something that needs a bit more preparation but is gloriously satisfying, banana pancakes. I also have a recipe for a quick little breakfast I end up making more and more often, which includes fruit, yoghurt and oats, which I will be posting soon.

When I have had breakfast, out on the terrace in the sun is the best place for that, I will do my teeth and my makeup and get rid of some chores or homework that need to be done.

I also often set aside some time to read, write, go for a walk or just think. Sometimes I will do 20-30 minutes of cardio in the mornings as well.

All these things make my mornings the perfect start to the day and ensure that I feel relaxed and ready to manage anything. I am also trying to fit at least a part of this into my schoolday mornings, so I have more energy during school.

Disclaimer: Of course I don’t do this every morning. Sometimes I sleep till 11 and lie around for hours. But I try to make my mornings like this, so I thought I’d share that with you.

So, are you a morning person? Or did you find any of these things helpful for becoming one? Why don’t you let me know in the comment section below?

Thanks and Byyyeeeeee!
