Waking up in the morning and be productive isn’t that easy for most people, it’s just way easier and cosy to just go back in bed!
I get why you love so much staying in bed, trust me. But it’s also true that in these uncertain times where we don’t have the outside motivation of school or work, it’s very important to learn how to be productive at home.
Being productive brings you closer to achieving your goals and creating a consistent routine will help you do that quicker. Not knowing what to do all the time makes you waste so much time that could be spent actually doing things!
When you are creating your productive morning routine it’s important to know exactly what your goals are. Do you want to exercise and get fit? Do you want to get your homework done? Do you want to work on your blog?
You need to tailor your routine according to those goals, so don’t follow other people’s routines just because they look good and “aesthetic”, that won’t get you anywhere with your own goals.
The first few days of trying your new routine are just a trial. If something seems off, you don’t feel good or you just can’t follow it, don’t get discouraged! Try again the next day and if the problems persist, it’s time to make some changes to your plan!
Also, your routine doesn’t necessarily have to include big tasks such as cleaning the whole house or completing an entire project, it could be composed of many little tasks such as making your bed. Putting all those little tasks into a to-do list might be helpful at first so you can check-off all the completed things and see what you were and weren’t able to accomplish. It will also look longer but at the same time, less intimidating considering that those smaller tasks will take you less time! ☀

Do not bring people into your life who weigh you down. And trust your instincts. Good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don’t hurt.

One of the causes of where dysfunctional toxic families come into existence - when a victim of abuse marries to a irresponsible playboy without healing from the past abuse. Tbe toxicity bleeds not only onto the spouse who doesn't want to take any familial responsibility but also to the innocent children. This turns into generational dysfunction and trauma within families. Just sad!
Always defend your right to heal at your own pace. You are taking your time. You are allowed to take your time.
