How do you start your morning?

[SmoochsPLH]

• Wake up at 11ish am either on my own or from my dog clawing at my bed/jumping on me
• Usually scroll thru tiktok for a little bit lol
• Ask my dog if it's a good morning and tell him it is to get him up and excited
• Do hygiene stuff/get dressed while my dog waits impatiently (sometimes I get dressed after I let my dog out)
• Let my dog out and we go to check my plants and see what needs watering
• Check on our outside kitty (her owners left her so she stays in our garage now and we feed her) and change her water/give her breakfast
• And then usually get on youtube or here

for school: i'd think really hard of something i wanted to eat for breakfast to motivate me, but by the time i actually got out of bed, i was running late and had to skip it. there's only been like 4 times where i actually got up on time to have it, and it was all just toast and jam..

in quarantine: i usually wake up when my family is being too noisy, around ~10am. i have time, but its usually past breakfast time so i just wait to eat lunch. i wash my face and brush my teeth and wash up, and i try working on my papers.

No alarm...so I wake up whenever I wake up. I also go to sleep at different times each night...so, I try to wake up by 9 or 10am...but, sometimes I oversleep and wake up after 11. I really try to keep that from happening. Anyway...I wake up, check my phone for messages and whatnot. Then I check my Switch (which is always by my bed). I check the morning turnip price in New Horizons. Play AC for a bit...then turn off Switch and get out of bed. I don't do most of those typical "morning things" like showering or having an exercise routine...because...I just never feel like doing those things in the morning. Those are later-in-the-day activities for me. I don't really eat breakfast either. I grab some coffee. Brush my teeth. Then think about doing some "real person" activities. Lol.

It's usually the same, as of late, with occasional variations:

1. Wake up and turn off the alarm (or try to, as I haven't been sleeping well as of late...I usually end up waking up later and feeling awful)
2. Brush teeth, wash face, apply deodorant, brush hair (unless it's still braided)
3. Get dressed, remake the bed
4. Gather up my assorted devices and water bottle, and then head downstairs.
5. Place the devices in the living room, head into the kitchen, refill and then place the water bottle into the refrigerator the coming night
6. Acquire caffeine, grab a pop-tart and a banana (when they're available), take morning vitamins
7. Return to the living room and commence "breakfast"

Who brushes their teeth before they eat?

Those of us with bad, awful-tasting morning breath from apparent snoring

-Wake up somewhere around 8-11am, sometimes 12 am usually from an extremely weird dream.. If I wake up before then it means I only got 5 hours of sleep and need to fall back asleep.
-Stare at my ceiling for a little bit.
-Grab my computer and watch youtube, disney+, amazon prime, hulu or netflix. depends on my mood
-Skip breakfast because i'm never hungry in the mornings anymore.
-Get out of bed after an hour-ish and say hello to my dog and give her all the attention.
-Go back to my room and be lazy
-After a little bit of being lazy, i'll go get the more powerful laptop to play computer games. (sometimes I skip this)
-Put it away after a while and get the switch to play a game.

Sometimes it's a lot different, like during the school year i'd wake up, make breakfast, get dressed, then the hygienic stuff within 30 minutes. Summers I am definitely a lot lazier and take 2 hours to start the morning.

I just wake up, get ready, check the internet while eating breakfast and then get going. I rather sleep more than have a lot of time in the morning.

 

[Olly7]

I wake up from my alarm and then turn it off without even thinking. This happens for all of the ten alarms I have set. Eventually I'll get up and have some coffee and a bowl of cereals a little later. Then I plan a few things for the day, which I nearly always end up forgetting about.

 

[Mairmalade]

I wake up between 5-6 a.m. (no alarm). Mornings are quiet here which I appreciate.

• Make and eat breakfast
• Make coffee
• Check Emails, read or listen to a podcast & drink coffee
• Go out for a walk
• Brush teeth
• Shower
• Get dressed
• Go to work

 

[Uffe]

I get up, take a couple supplements, go for a walk, then come back and take a shower and brush my teeth. Then I do whatever the rest of the day. Normally, I'd be going to work. But I've been having to work from home, and where I live, it doesn't really look like we're going back to work physically anytime soon.

 

[Xeleron]

My day starts by saying good morning to my fur babies, feeding them, changing their water, and cleaning up the cat's litter (in cased he used it at night, cats will do their business elsewhere if their box is dirty .-.) I then lay back down and check my phone for 10-15 min, I shower and then have breakfast. I want to try doing fasted cardio in the mornings, but there's a lack of motivation..

 

[satine]

Just about to start going into the office from a long stint of working from home. I'm trying to re-establish my routine that I had before quarantine occurred but it's been exceedingly difficult. This is how it was before, and how I am trying to get it to being again:
- Wake up at 5:00 AM. Get out of bed, take morning vitamins, get dressed in workout clothes.
- Do HIIT or strength training for 30 minutes after some brief stretching.
- Go on a 30 minute run.
- Come back, shower if needed, if not then fix up my hair and use my morning skincare items.
- Apply makeup, get dressed. Pack lunch bag and laptop bag.
- Sometimes I'll eat something small for breakfast, like a bar or piece of toast or something, but I often skip breakfast as I prefer to get in most of my calories in the evening.
- Leave the house at 7:00 AM to get to work.

 

[Snowesque]

By being sad I didn't go to bed sooner and repeatedly setting alarms to sleep longer, only to ignore them and repeat the cycle.

 

[Lady Timpani]

My cat will wake me up anywhere from 1-4:30 in the morning for food, but after I feed her I go back to sleep haha. When I wake up for real it depends-- if I'm home alone I like to go for a walk first thing in the morning, but if my mom is home I might wait about an hour or so before we go for a walk together. Then breakfast, shower, etc. I've been avoiding getting on my phone first thing in the morning for the past week or so, and so far, so good.

 

[Irelia]

bleh I dont have a morning routine because I wake up at 4pm
my life really do be a mess doe

 

[xiheeet]

I also don't have much of a morning routine, haha, especially since after school ended...I've been waking up between 10 AM to 2 PM. Depending on how lazy I am, I'll check my email on my phone, scroll through my instagram feed, and read some manga. I'll use the bathroom (morning pee am I right? lolol), wash my hands, wash my face, and then brush my teeth! I'll go downstairs and search for food to eat or make my own food. By the time I'm downstairs, it's already lunch time. I usually wait until the mintiness from brushing my teeth is gone before eating though, which ends up being after I finish heating up food/cooking food. Then depending on my mood, I'll make either a chai latter, matcha latte, or lavender latte to bring into my room to do work!

 

[sarosephie]

I've been trying to get into a nice groove of a routine. I was a work study at college this last semester but my bosses had me stop working in March so I've been out of work since then. I finished school fine and had a yoga class where I had to write yoga summaries each week, so I got into the routine of at least 5 days a week do some yoga and squats and I've still been doing it!

Kind of proud of myself actually, allowing myself to get off the couch even for a little bit before I sit down again and play Animal Crossing for hours a day.

Wake up somewhat early, hopefully have had a good night sleep.
Brush my teeth and then wash my face
I do oil pulling each day, it's where you warm up some oil like coconut oil and swish it in your mouth for a few minutes each day, makes your teeth clean and it helps a lot actually

Do about 20 minutes or so of yoga and then another 10 minutes of squats.
^ that sounds really hard to believe, but I promise I am doing that already and I'd like to feel good about myself.

Shower if I'm pretty sweaty from the exercise
Do my hair and my hair products, skin care might come at the same time

While my hair is drying I'll get something to eat OR start dishes, depending if there is a lot that morning from the night before

At some point in the day I try to organize at least one thing. Whether that's my whole room, the laundry, my drawers, my closet, the bathroom (could also be considered cleaning)

I have also gotten into the rhythm of starting to learn languages, starting German actually, so each day I set aside at least 15-25 minutes to listen and read along with the guide I have. (Living Language if you were wondering)

At this point it's like 12:00 lol, I try to space out my day and not do everything so fast at once so I'm left with trying to find something to do each day for hours.

And any time I have until bed time at 9:00 (I'm a literal grandma I get so tired I want to sleep by 7 so I allow myself that)
it's spend playing games, ACNH or other earlier games, watching TV on hulu or Disney+, watching Youtube on my phone, going on instagram, I don't text anybody on snapchat or anywhere anymore since I've lost streaks and interest with talking to people (just a quarantine mood) and drinking water and trying not to eat all day. (I do a good job of that since I have issues with food somedays)
And other boring activities throughout the day that I try to make the most out of since I've been in quarantine since March.
We good though, on a good diet, happy as can be, family is healthy, we're surviving this pandemic pretty well c:

 

[Cosmic_Crossfade]

I like to wake up around 7-7:30ish and then start my morning off with some hot tea (Coffee doesn't work for me as it triggers my anxiety aha) and breakfast. Feed the pets and then I clean the house afterward.I proceed to shower and take care of the errands or whatever needs to be taken care of if any. Once that is done, I relax lol
