How to Master Your Mornings (Even If You’re Not a Morning Person) 🥱
Hate mornings? You’re not alone.
If getting out of bed feels like a battle…
If you snooze more than you move…
If your morning routine looks like: scroll, stress, rush—
You're not lazy. You're just unstrategic.
Mastering your morning isn’t about waking up at 4 AM.
It’s about designing the first 60 minutes of your day to work for you, not against you.
Let’s fix that. Here’s how.
☀️ 1. Start with Energy, Not Screens
The first thing you do sets the tone for your whole day.
If the first thing you see is chaos on your phone, don’t be surprised if you carry chaos into everything else.
Instead:
Open the blinds
Drink a glass of water
Move your body (even if it’s just 10 jumping jacks)
Breathe intentionally for 60 seconds
Simple shifts → massive momentum.
📓 2. Pre-Decide Your Wins the Night Before
Most people lose the morning before they even wake up.
If you wait to make decisions when you're tired, you’ll default to comfort.
Instead, prep:
Your outfit
Your to-do list
Your priorities
Your alarm across the room 💀
Clarity beats willpower.
🧠 3. Use a “Cue → Action → Reward” Loop
This is how habits stick. Don’t just say, “I’ll wake up early.”
Make it automatic.
Example:
Cue: Alarm goes off
Action: You stretch + write 1 goal for the day
Reward: Play your favorite song while brushing your teeth
Stack small habits. Keep the loop satisfying.
☕ 4. Tailor Your Routine to Your Energy Type
You don’t have to copy someone else’s 10-step routine.
Instead, ask:
Do I think best in silence or with music?
Do I need movement or stillness to wake up?
Do I work better after sunlight or caffeine?
Design your morning like it’s yours—because it is.
