First morning of a new you!

So, how did it go?

Were you able to get up with the alarm and achieve your list? If so, congratulations. If not, sit down and contemplate where your morning got off track.

Before something becomes a habit or a routine, it takes a lot of willpower to things happen.  Yes, it will take some willpower, mental energy, and drive at first to create the new morning habits, but once they are set, it will become automatic like brushing your teeth before bed.

Watch out for moments when you slip back into your old habits and routines. It’s going to happen. The key is to catch it early and get back on track as quickly as possible. For example, let’s say you’ve been doing well with waking up 30 minutes earlier and going for a run before you start your day. Then one day you oversleep and can’t make it out there. That’s life. It happens.  Every day is a new start.  Your most important job whenever life gets in the way of your new morning routine is to get back on track as quickly as possible.
