One of my major new year’s resolutions was to really establish a routine for when I wake up so I made a checklist to follow every day. I am actually not a morning person but I make myself get up around six thirty. Lately I have been trying to do either a yoga or pilates class when I wake up because it gives me a noticeable increase of energy for my day. Immediately After finishing my class I get a shower. I usually only buy soaps that smell like vanilla so I don’t have to worry about my soap clashing with my perfume. After my shower I brush my teeth and slather on moisturizer. Then I get dressed and journal about my previous day. I write in a diary after sleeping on my thoughts and feelings because it helps me think them over and time to relax. I also try to incorporate reading at least 30 pages of a book in my morning routine but truthfully that doesn’t always happen. If I am doing something that involves leaving my house I put on sunscreen and brush my hair.
