How many times have you heard that a good morning routine is the key to a productive and successful day? I have actually lost count. But, the sad part is, I never took it seriously. I have proudly declared for years that I am a night owl THROUGH and THROUGH. I would rather stay up late in a quiet house, then wake up to one.
If I’m being honest, I never really thought there was much of a difference. What did it matter if I stayed up a few extra hours rather then getting up earlier?
It wasn’t until recently, while staying home with my toddler, that some things started to click into place. I was staying up late working on creating my teaching resources or trying to catch up from the chores around the house that had gone untouched throughout the day. I would go to bed and wake up to her cries in the morning. Leaving myself no time to get my thoughts together or plan out the day.
I found myself waiting for nap time to first write the to-do list and then do all the things to check them off of it. I wasn’t accomplishing close to anything that I wanted and desperate to figure out a way to fit it all in.
That’s when I knew I needed to change my mindset and shift my night owl ways into becoming a true morning person. In an effort to convince myself that this was the right move for me, I did research to find a few different tricks that productive people use in their morning routines to make their day more successful and positive. While I was researching, I couldn’t help but get excited for what this new schedule change could mean for me. So what are those benefits of waking up earlier? Well…
Benefits of Waking Up Earlier:
- Time to yourself so you have time for loved ones later
- Time to set your intentions for the day
- Time to create a to-do list
- Time to check in with your goals and create tasks to help you reach them
- Time to meditate and get your mind in the right place
- Time to stretch and move your body
- Time to list things you are grateful for
- Time to plan out your day and reduce your stress
- Time
- Time
- Time
I quickly realized, that what waking up early to create a productive morning routine would offer would be something I was always searching for; TIME.
What is early for me right now? So far my alarm is set at 5 am. Whether that happens every day, jury is still out. But, that’s what I’m hoping this challenge will help with.
