Benefits of + Becoming a Morning Person

Oh, happy Monday! Try not to dread it. It's another week that you can make great things happen.

I've briefly mentioned a few times that I am a morning person, but I have never really chatted fully about the benefits and how I came to be the kind of person who thrives in the AM hours. I would say I came to this realization last year at school when I would consistently wake up before my alarm, but I continued to notice this summer that some of my favorite moments of each day were the simple moments spent running through my morning routine. I find mornings so peaceful and satisfying, and I want to share a few tips that might motivate you to become a morning person too!

How I Have #CarefreeMornings

Before college, I sort of knew I was a morning person, but it wasn't really until this semester when I started getting up early almost everyday, kicking off my days with a workout or a good breakfast, when I realized that I thrive during the morning. For me, when I have #CarefreeMornings, I am able to make the most of my afternoons and evenings because I am left feeling inspired and motivated to have a good day. I know in college it sounds crazy to some people to think of waking up before your 9 AM (because let's be honest, half of us don't even wake up for our 9 AM's at all...), but I am definitely that person who would rather work out in the morning, eat a good breakfast in the morning, or go to bed earlier and finish studying in the morning. And, if we're being honest, I would skip a party any night to make sure my daily routine doesn't get too set-off course.

My absolute favorite way to start my mornings is by working out. Lately I have been setting my alarm for an hour or two before my classes, because I found that trying to motivate myself to work out in the afternoon was pretty much a disaster for me and rarely actually ended up happening. And when I work out in the mornings, I find I feel so ready to take on my day and I am so much more awake during my morning classes than I have been before. Afterwards I shower and get ready for classes in real clothes, which also means I am left feeling fresh and I don't have to wear gym clothes all day just to get myself motivated to go!

Having a #CarefreeMorning is the best feeling. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a morning routine to prepare for my day! To make the rest of your day equally as carefree and comfortable as the morning, I have partnered with Carefree to talk about their new liners and encourage you all to Liner Up every morning with Carefree! Carefree® Pantiliners are thin and soft, and they deliver freshness lasting an entire day. They have a variety of products to suite anyone, and I don't know about you, but feeling fresh and set for the day really makes a difference in having a good, full, inspired and successful day.
