Not Crushing My Mornings

Most people set their morning alarm so they can wake up jump out of bed and start their day. I’ve always done this as well. I would know I need to be up at a certain time to get everything done before the workday starts and that is the time I’d set my alarm.

Lately, I’ve changed this routine. Instead of setting an alarm to get up I’m setting two. The first is to wake up, the second is to get out of bed. The time between the alarms is meant for one thing. Laying in bed and just thinking, reflecting, and letting my mind wonder.

Since I’ve started doing this it’s been the best part of my day. Because I’m still in bed I feel relaxed, whereas when I’m up and moving around it’s hard to take the time to just sit and think.
