5 ideas for a great morning routine

Mornings are kinda the most important part of the day because they set the whole mood and dynamic for the day ahead. So making sure you organise your time and activities after you wake up is basically the key to having a successful and fulfilling day.

That’s why I’m giving you 5 ideas based on what I usually do my best to do in the morning that have proven to make my days better.

Don’t sleep in

No matter how tempting it’s not gonna get you off to a good start. You’ll end up not much more refreshed but already pressured and in a hurry if not even late…even if you’re really sleepy better put effort and create a habit of jumping out the bed and simply having some spare coffee minutes later. 

Take care of skincare

No matter what - we don’t sleep with make up on. That’s about rule one, but there are many more rules when it comes to quality skincare. Anyway it’s most important to not skip it or forget about it even on a hasty morning. It’s one of the things that take consistency and have long term positive effects and who doesn’t want that. 

Don’t entirely skip nutrition

So many people skip any nutrients in the morning and I am getting more and more convinced in time that it’s not a good idea. Sooner or later it influences your overall meal plan and energy levels. So no matter if you opt for breakfast or just a cappuccino, my advice is to make sure you get yourself a little something. It’ll start off your body for the day. 

Get inspired

Starting the day in a good mood is crucial for how it’s gonna go. So no matter if you choose to listen to music, flip through a favourite book or just get creative with accessorising - make sure you let your mind go into a beautiful direction.

Dress it up

Although I don’t really agree that you can never be overdressed and my motto is kinda more about wearing the right thing for the right occasion, treating yourself to a good outfit is a great day starter. No matter what style or aesthetic, putting together an outfit that makes you both feel and look good will sure add up to a successful morning. They’ll make you enjoy the day more and make you feel more confident.

Hello guys! So I recently celebrated my 23th birthday and I took some time to reflect on the past years. I happen to be a little bit of a thinker so I thought a lot about how I have changed throughout the years and how far I've come in terms of following my dreams and being happy to just be me.

And here are the 23 things I have learned in my life so far. Hope it will be interesting for you to read these and that they will inspire you or teach you something. Enjoy!

 

#1 Smile. Always smile. It makes everything better.

#2 This quote by Dr. Seuss — 'Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.' is just so true.

#3 Whenever you're sad or confused just look at this. This is happiness: http://imgur.com/gallery/I1TBl29

#4 'It is not happy people who are thankful. It is thankful people who are happy.' !

#5 Kindness is the best gift you can give to anyone. Spread it freely.

#6 Life is too short to not do what you want or not chase your dreams. Any minute you waste is a wasted chance to be happier.

#7 The best moments in your live will probably not be in photos because you'll be too busy having fun.

#8 If you're lucky enough to find a true friend, cherish that person/those people and never let them go, they're your treasure.

#9 The sooner you stop caring about pleasing people, the better.

#10 A good laugh and a hug can heal anything and instantly make you feel better.

#11 You are never too old for cartoons, jumping around when you're happy and openly talking about even the smallest things that excite you and you genuinely care about.

#12 You don't need to be perfect to be happy, look at all the people you love with all your heart and how their imprefections don't matter to you.

#13 It's totally fine if your brain is '99% quotes and lyrics'. You're probably a great and fun person to talk to.

#14 Things are not always what you expect them to be. So this is a list of only 14 things, not 23 although I said so. Life often surprises you and you should always expect the unexpected. Hopefully it'll be a good surprise.

So thank you for reading. :) I hope you found something you liked and will remember. Now I wanna hear your favorite quotes and inspiring statements in the comments below! :)
