Sometimes waking up the morning is the hardest thing we have to do. After a long day, a good night’s sleep feels so good – and starting the day can be so tough. Even if you’re a morning person, you probably have your off days. Starting the day on the right foot, with a calm and positive attitude, feels great [and is totally contagious]! So, check out this list of ways that will help you find the right side of the bed every morning.
5 Ways to Make Waking Up a Little Brighter
- Give yourself some extra time with the alarm. Setting your alarm about 10 minutes early gives you some wiggle room to wake up slowly.
- Give your kiddos a big cuddle. Letting the kids jump in bed for five minutes of cuddle time will be just the boost of sweetness you need to get going for the day!
- Make all your decisions the night before. Setting out your clothes and making your lunch the night before can really save you in the morning.
- Leave your blinds part-way open when you go to bed. Waking up with a little natural light will help you ease out of your slumber and waking up won’t feel like such a shock.
- Stretch it out. Before you even get out of bed, give your whole body a good stretch.
