College MORNING ROUTINE

How to stick with a morning routine in college?

I know your wondering how am I going to stick with a morning routine in college. To be quite honest it's hard to get used to waking up early in the morning and getting into the habit of including your priorities.

You can't expect to create this morning routine and not to slip up the first couple of mornings. But if you start doing one thing at a time it'll eventually become a healthy habit that will become muscle memory.

#1 WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO A ROUTINE?

Ask yourself why do you want a college routine. Are you planning on being consistent? Are you doing this for your health? Make sure you ask yourself if this is right for you.

#2 WAKE UP AT A STEADY TIME!

Ditch your back up alarms and your other back up alarms. Have one alarm and remove the snooze button. If you wake up at 8 am one day and 10 am the next day you will have a hard time having a consistent routine and lose time during the day to accomplish your goals.

Another tip is to have your phone or alarm clock away from your bed, which will make you physically get out and start your day.

#3 Priorities

Ask yourself what’s your main priorities you would like to accomplish every morning. This could range from meditating to reading your favorite book for a bit. List 3-5 things you want to incorporate in your daily routine.

Here’s Mine:

Quiet time
Workout
Eat breakfast
Make my bed
Get myself ready .

#4 CREATE A DAILY TO-DO LIST

I know you have seen YouTube videos on millionaires morning routine or successful business owners morning routines and they all agree on having a daily to-do list.

Having a daily to-do list will save you so much time and make your day productive. Every morning ask yourself what you would like to accomplish that day.

#5 UNPLUG FROM TV AND YOUR PHONE

Personally, I have had this problem of wanting to check my social media or watch TV immediately when I get up from the bed, which I eventually then lose track of time. Take some time away from your phone to get ready for the day.

#6 MAKE YOUR BED

Making your bed is one of the most refreshing things to do right after you turn off your alarm. It doesn’t tempt you to go back to bed after making it.

And when you come back from work or classes your bed is all ready for you to crash in.

#7 WORKOUT/GO FOR A WALK

Studies show it’s best to work out in the morning because it gives you the energy to kickstart your day.

If you don’t have that much time in the morning just take a brisk walk around campus.

#8 SELF CARE

What I’ve learned recently that I have been lacking on is to focus on myself. Taking a few minutes a day to do something for me to focus on my mental health and being happier with myself.

I personally struggle with body positivity and loving myself. There is nothing wrong with loving yourself and focusing on making you happy. You can do this by doing your nails or baking. Just little things to make you happy and feel good.

#9 MIND STIMULATING ACTIVITY

Find an activity that will stimulate your mind like a brain exercise or reading a book.

#10 DRINK WATER

The moment you wake up in the morning after turning your alarm off and making your bed try to drink a glass of water which will boost your metabolism and kill bad toxins.

#11 MEDITATION/BIBLE READING

I am a Christian and I do a daily devotional. I enjoy having this quiet time and feeling centered with the word of God. This will work for any religion or even if you are not religious you can meditate. Just taking time of peace in hopes of an amazing day.

#12 BREAKFAST

Eat a good breakfast. I know you heard this multiple times.

But if all you eat is pop tarts in the morning you are going to feel sluggish from not having a balanced diet. Try to include protein vegetables and fruits to start your day off right.

#13 LISTENING TO PODCASTS

I recently have found an interest in listing to a girl-empowering podcast to give me the boost of confidence.

They provide helpful information on how to be a complete girl boss. If you have no interest in those listen to mellow music. You can find some amazing podcasts on Spotify.
