the cure to self-sabotage is to anchor yourself to the universal truth that you are worth it. you are worth the effort. you are worth the difficulty, you are worth the time, you are worth the consideration. there is never a point in your life, in time itself, that you are not worth it. return to this truth when you feel yourself slipping. do not let it go.

How to make your mornings easier

So remember how I vowed to never take an 8AM again and then I did? Well I swore to myself never again. So I have a 9AM now haha. Living an hour away from campus idk why I do this to myself but hey gotta get that edumacation somehow.

Anyways, I have a lot of experience with this early morning thing, especially with depression and icy weather and rainy weather (all 3 make you wanna sleep in so much more) so here are some tips to make your mornings smoother, less chaotic, and maybe even more enjoyable!

  • Give yourself at least an hour in the mornings. Trust me. The more time you have the better it is. You won't feel stressed or rushed and you'll have time to wake up before driving
  • M U S I C. Seriously. This like makes mornings 1000x better. Put in some earbuds or blast that shit and have fun. Dance and jump and head bang while getting ready
  • Make or buy coffee the day before and put it in the fridge or something. Having coffee already made speeds up the routine and it's a nice little treat
  • Lay out your outfit the night before or at least plan it and know where everything is. Saves so much time even if you are the kind to just grab and go. I am like that. Just grab a shirt and pants and go. But laying it out the night before makes me feel accomplished and in the morning I'm like oh!
  • "I'll just get gas in the morning" is the worst lie. You'll hate yourself in the morning as that morning will be the one where you are running late and it is super chaotic. Get gas on your way home
  • Pack your bag for the next day WHEN YOU GET HOME. Don't wait. Mornings are groggy and not the best and you are bound to forget SOMETHING. So pack as soon as you can
  • Use an alarm you like. "But Lauren, if I like it I won't wake up!" It doesn't have to be peaceful. It can be straight bag pipes and screamo with a hurricane in the background. But if you like it, you'll be happier when waking up
  • If you know it's going to be cold in the morning, leave the fans off
  • Two words for you: overnight oats. Cheap, easy, and delicious. "But I don't like yogurt. I am lactose intolerant. I don't like Chia seeds. But..." thousands of recipes my dudes. Thousands. I hate yogurt and am lactose intolerant and hate most fruits. So I use oats, almond milk (vanilla flavored), vanilla extract, cinnamon, coco powder with some sugar mixed in, honey, and if I'm feeling really frisky, some flax seeds. Mix that baby up and stick it in the fridge and voila! A tasty and fast breakfast! You can even eat it on the go or blend it to make a smoothie!
  • If there's dew or ice, turn your car on like 10 minutes before you leave
  • Make a routine that keeps things steady and flowing towards the door. Dress, bathroom, breakfast, go
  • Coffee does not make a great breakfast
  • Put water next to your bed and drink it first thing in the morning
  • Hair and makeup can be done before class
  • Try to get to class half an hour early or more. This gives you time to review and prepare for class
  • If you have time, try some excercise! A jog, pushups, yoga, etc. It's a great way to get early morning serotonin and energy as well as feel better through the day
  • Take care of your animals before you eat to make sure you don't forget
  • If you bring lunch, pack it the night before
  • Set an alarm for bedtime and listen to it. When your bedtime alarm rings, put the phone or book down and sleep
  • If you wake up before your alarm, stay up if you have less than 30 minutes before it goes off
  • You can try burning incense in the mornings. Orange, lemon, and basically any citrus scent is known to improve your mood and help with energy
  • Consider buying a second phone charger that stays in your car so you don't have to worry about that
  • Simplify your skin care routine or modify it for the PM
  • Night showers are now your new beat friend
  • No you won't wake up extra early to finish that assignment. Just do it now
  • If you like hot coffee, prep the coffee maker the night before and set it to start when your alarm goes off especially if you sleep near the kitchen. You'll smell it
  • If you need to help calm your anxiety over your mornings, make a check list with everything to make sure you don't miss anything
  • Keep your keys in the same spot
  • If you have a dog, walk them before leaving or feed them when you get up. They catch onto patterns fast and will wake you up if you don't want to get up
  • Wake up at the same time during the week. Consistency allows you to fall into the patterns and allows you to get used to it faster and easier. And on days you don't have to leave until like 10, you get extra time

how to live in the moment ✨

- consciously take deeper breaths and recognise unhelpful thoughts

- notice and appreciate what no one else notices.

- carry a journal everywhere to record little thoughts, drawings, tickets and memories

- stop searching for proof that you’re good enough. you are already good enough and loveable, you always have been.

- remember what you’re excited for if you’re feeling sad. it can be something small.

- if you compare yourself to others often, change your mindset. you will rarely feel good if you continue with that mindset.

- it’s ok if you’re not where you want to be. take a moment to see how far you’ve come from a year ago.

- don’t spend the day wishing things could be different. trust that everything happens for a reason. trust the timing of things. there are bright things in the future waiting for you.

- be candid in everything you do. don’t live life through someone else’s eyes.

- know that when one door closes, another opens. always be hopeful.

- you have a lot more time than you think. the world seems fast paced but you don’t need to be.

- be genuine to yourself. don’t pretend to be someone else. the right people will find you. the right path will find you

- don’t bottle up your emotions. don’t numb yourself. know what you’re feeling and let it out.

- treat every day like a new beginning. it doesn’t matter how many times you failed. failing means you’re trying.

- rest when you need to. overworking yourself isn’t worth it.

- just because you’re not where you want to be doesn’t mean you’re not amazing.

- do your best today. everything will work out in its own way.
