Wake Up San Francisco!

Sometimes the mornings can be tough. It's early, it's still dark and I always find myself rushing. I always have to make my lunch and pack my bag in the morning, despite I know it'll save me time if I do it the night before. But I don't know what it is, maybe it's the fact it gives me something to do in the morning or that it makes me feel like I started my day off right. As I said, mornings can be a pain, but sometimes I like to think that they're actually really nice. It's a new fresh start to an unexpected day where anything could really happen. It's the satisfaction that you know that this day will be productive. And essentially, it's your "me time". You get ready by yourself, you pack your lunch, you eat breakfast, you head out the door and take the bus. Even though it might be routine, I like to think that a good start will finish with a good end. I think the key thing that wakes me up is good music. You have to play an upbeat, fun, feel good track in the morning. It makes the start feel so much better. Just turn it up loud and sing along, it makes you feel like there's nothing that can ruin your day. And if there just so happens that there is, then hey.. there's always tomorrow right? A new day where you can start out fresh. A new start. A new beginning. One thing I've learned that makes me more upbeat or a morning person at times, is to actually get more than six hours of sleep. It can be extremely difficult at times, but after realizing how much time I waste doing nothing, I started to think that that time could go to some good use. So hit the bed early, and right before you turn off the lights just think.. in the words of Skeelo "today was a good day".

Are you a morning person? Do you have any morning rituals?
