House tidy. Mug and cutlery out. Kettle filled. Breakfast made. Backpack packed. Outfit and jewelry stacked on the dresser. Water bottle filled.
Life is set (at least this part)— so all you have to do is yawn on the couch in the sun and pet your cats head with your matcha and oatmeal and beautiful new day thoughts♥

Turn off alarm, put on top 10, pee, go to kitchen, prep moka pot, wash dishes while coffee brews, finish dishes, grab mug, add oat milk to coffee, head to living room, open blinds/windows, drink coffee, sit in the sun, put mug in the sink, go to bathroom, brush teeth, morning skin care, deodorant, do hair, head to bedroom, put on lotion, get dressed, make bed, do makeup, wash hands, put on hand cream, check bus schedule, pack bag, head out.
Things are subject to change obvi, some mornings I’m hungry so I make and eat breakfast, some days I don’t wear makeup, some days I didn’t pick out my outfit the night before and have to take the time in the morning to figure out what I’ll wear. But for the most part, this is what my mornings look like.

during the week, my alarm goes off at 6:00 AM, somewhere between 6:00-6:30 is when I actually get out of bed depending on how up and at em I’m feeling.
Once i’m up, I hop in the shower, get dressed n stuff, I make sure my cat has food and then I go make myself breakfast. I like to open the blinds, let the sun in, play some ambient music on my living room speakers, and try as much as possible not to look at my phone. I need my chill slow morning time to be at peace.
if I woke up right at my alarm, I’ll brew fresh coffee (french press) and make a nice egg scramble with an english muffin. If I’m in a hurry I’ll do moka pot or just get the extra coffee from the last time I brewed a batch from the fridge and have greek yogurt with granola. while I eat, I’ll sit at my kitchen counter and have some dedicated screen time on my laptop to check socials so I’m not tempted to be scrolling on IG the rest of the day. trying to leave bad screen at home.
after I have breakfast, if I have time i’ll take care of anything around my apartment that needs doing (dishes, laundry, cleaning the cat litter, etc) and then brush my teeth, freshen up, then head out and start the morning commute (usually around 8-8:30 depending on if I need to be in office at 8:30 or 9). I also fill up my YETI mug with homebrew coffee and take it to work with me so I’m not buying coffee out all the time.
the morning commute is when I put on some more energetic music to hype me up, or if I’m in a rush I’ll play some calmer music to not stress about traffic to. whatever the vibe I need. then I get to the office and wage slave for 8-9 hours, but at least I got a good night’s sleep and a good morning’s breakfast to get me through 🙂↕️🙂↕️

i was born a night owl and so i know what you're thinking: you'd rather roll out of bed 10 mins before your first zoom call than sacrifice ur late night scrolling BUT hear me out
Things u can do before you sit down at your desk:
‼️Shower
‼️Meditate
‼️Put a lil Outfit on
‼️Take a walk and/or Buy a latte
‼️Do an errand
‼️Move ur Body
‼️Do your dishes
‼️Read a chapter of ur book
‼️Squeeze in 1hr of Saturday every week day morning
Things this decreases:
🦺Existential dread
🦺Job-related resentment
🦺Days and weeks melting away into nothing but Emails
🦺Feelings of Impending doom

sometimes you gotta talk shit to process but often I think we talk too much shit…. At the end of the day we’re all human beings who are trying the best with what they’ve got. if someone is annoying you/acting mean/unkind it’s most likely all connected to a larger system that did not set them up for success. Instead of shit talking the rude waiter, celebrity drama, your friends annoying partner— let’s break down systems that are holding us all back!!!! or the systems that are probably holding that person back! Let’s give grace to humans and question the larger systems that generate more trauma and disconnect! that’s how we generate more love and compassion and move things forward
some of my favorite systems to talk about are:
•industrialized food and food accessibility
•consumerism/overconsumption (and the connection to social media & celebrity culture)
•hustle culture
•politics/2 party system
•cars/walkable cities/big oil
•big dairy
•Christianity
plz comment ur fav system to break down / talk about with ur friends i love this stuff….

what’s it gonna hurt!! you are power, you are a piece of the sun, you are as great as you believe you are! Fake that ego until it’s real. your inner voice is an insanely loving mother that only sees the good. it may feel silly at first… but you are as capable as anyone, so let yourself believe that you are! isn't that the first step in getting anything you want?
