Not the Morning Person I Want to Be



I remember random things, and a vivid memory I have from first grade is one of me writing on a notepad that I wanted to start waking up at six in the morning.  Why do I remember this?  Because a boy sitting next to me pointed to it laughing and showed it to another kid.  They were both laughing and joking, but I didn't understand why my new goal was so funny.  It wasn't the goal they were laughing at.  I have never been the best speller, and I spelled "six" with an "e" instead of an "i."  Yeah.  To add to my embarrassment that obviously scarred me for life, I still did not understand why they would not stop laughing at what I wrote.  This wasn't the first time or the last my poor little sheltered brain would be the cause of laughter, but that's okay. 

The point that I need to get to is that I have always, always wanted to be a morning person, but I have always struggled with this.  I have always wanted to take my time getting ready, do yoga or a quick workout, do my daily Bible reading, and journal before the day got officially started.  My days always just go better when I wake up early.

I go to bed pretty early, and I sleep SUPER great (thanks, Plexus!), but I still hit the snooze button in the morning.  I don't look at my phone an hour before bedtime, and my phone is on the other side of the room.  I'm wondering if it has anything to do with our sweet fur babies who want to go outside around 5:30 and then back inside a few minutes later.  Or am I sleeping too much?  Why is it so hard for me to just wake up. 

Do you have any tips or tricks or advice to help me become the morning person I want to be?
