Don’t bring your phone. Check it before if you need to. Bring a cup of water. Literally wake up as you walk around the block.
Trying to put this into my routine. You have to budget your time if you have early work in the morning, but it was refreshing.

I can’t call it a morning routine because i work night shifts so i wake up around 9/10 am.
However , i had to trick my mind to be able to wake up In shape.
Let’s go straight to the point :
- to be able to wake up you should sleep, ironic Right ? Well hear me out, you can’t expect yourself to wake up at the same time as your alarm if you barely had your beauty sleep, sleeping early = waking up in shape ( yes i said in shape and not early, focus on the healthy sleep rather than waking up earlier).
- to be able to sleep peacefully you should prepare it (Our elders were right, it’s that god damn phone) - i once happen to experience an internet outage for a full 24h so i couldn’t use my phone or laptop to watch anything, guess what happened ? I slept in the dark, with no noise around 2am, when did i wake up ? 8 am !! Without even feeling tired! - so NO screen before bed time ! Try it slowly (10mins - 15mins - 30mins - until u can ro a full hour)
- the no screen time doesn’t mean staying in the dark tho ! Dim your lights as much as possible, read something (PAPER ONLY - no ebook no digital distraction) 5/10/20 pages doesn’t matter, just prepare your mind for peace and no distractions.
- don’t overthink your night overthinking, use it to your advantage, instead of thinking something that stressed you, switch it to “manifesting“ your future, think about your next trip, imagine yourself already in that city/country, where you wanna go etc … (trust me in no time you will fall asleep)
- one in position, keep your eyes closed, don’t open them no matter what, remember no distractions are allowed.
Once you wake up, depends on you, create your own morning routine.
- to wake up, stupid as it seems but TALK to yourself, yes ! Talk to yourself, say (i am awake i am awake i am awake, in 3 i will get off my bed, 1,2,3 and GET UP)
- NO phone at all cost ! (avoid that dopamine hit please ! Stay in the silence ! Feel your body, smell the fresh morning air by opening the window etc…)
- Drink Water first thing in the morning! -They call it internal shower or smth like that lol i don’t know- but it helps get you a bit more awake too.
- wash your face, don’t be harsh on yourself, use warm water to wake up slowly, consistency is key, slowly you will switch to cold water.
- maybe even take a fresh shower ! Showers help a loot to get the needed energy.
- prepare your breakfast, try to avoid anything sweet tho, keep it healthy and simple.
With those simple steps, you can add more and more to build your morning routine, you can add :
- walking
- cycling
- reading a book
- gym
- listening to slow music as u prepare your breakfast and lunch for work
Etc …

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

just started a new routine where i have to go make myself a tea/coffee before i'm allowed on my phone in the morning. it really makes sure i'm awake and will hopefully help me spend less time doomscrolling, cuz the morning is always the worst time of day for me
