Becoming a morning person is not an easy task.
It takes an actually willingness to tuck yourself in at a decent hour. This is something I have always fought.
As I approach the ripe ol' age of 25, I begin the notice what a toll sleep, the lack of, takes on my body.
So. I've been working on it.
I've been going to bed early.
No more late night showings of Project Runway or Real Housewives of whatever.
The ladies can wait.
I've set a timer on my coffee pot.
If you can't wake up smiling to the smell of coffee brewing... you're straight up crazy.
I've embraced messy hair and little-to-no make up.
Let's be honest... I'm not trying to impress any of the 19 year olds that are in my classes.
Also, I like messy hair.
I've been working out early.
This is a life changer. A little shot of adrenaline in the AM sets my whole day right. It just feels good.
I choose to be happy.
(How do you not think of this girl when you read that)
There are plenty of things in this life that make me happy, but sometimes it's a struggle to really recognize those beautiful things. So I've been making lists. Writing down my loves, fears, challenges, blessings.
Reading. and Re-Reading. There is something to be said about a mantra. Visualizing and then doing. I love it.
I just love it.
Well what do you think? Do mornings come easy to you? Are you inherently a night owl like me?
Or am I the only one that has a hard time getting my butt outta bed in the am?
Please tell me I'm not crazy. Please.
***Bonus: Waking up early means you get greeted by the roaming neighborhood cats. SCORE.

Your jacket is so cute!
Second, I am a TOTAL nightowl and tend to stay up way too late doing silly things like watching Friends reruns instead of getting the rest I know my body needs. One of my goals for this fall is to really work on going to bed earlier, so glad to know I'm not the only one that is making a concious effort to improve in this area.
Have a great weekend girl! xo
Sure makes that 6:15 alarm sound too quickly. I mean, I went to bed at 2. Oops. But a timer on the coffee pot? Brilliant.
xo
I used to be a TOTAL morning person... like no way, no how could I sleep past 9. Then, I became a college student and the waitress. Those are the game changers Sabs lol
I feel like as soon as I'm in the shower Im pretty much awake, but right before that I think of any and all reasons I could a. call off work b. just not show up and c. sleep as long as possible
Love the Bellatrix top duh ; )
