As a person who struggles with mornings, I've found that most advice on how to become a morning person is misguided. Instead of focusing on being more productive or doing unpleasant exercise, consider reorienting your mornings around a couple key habits. Mornings matter because they're valuable time and can be used to get ahead on tasks that are often crammed into evenings. By starting your day with activities like taking a walk, reading, playing games, writing, setting up your nighttime routine, doing a quick bedroom reset, hydrating, icing your face, or getting up and going back to bed for 15 minutes, you can create a morning routine that sets the tone for the rest of the day. The key is finding what works for you and being consistent, so experiment with different habits and don't be afraid to stop doing something that's not working. By building your mornings around your needs, you can make the most of this valuable time and start your day feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
