6 Terrific Reasons You Should Make Your Bed In The Morning

Don't let laziness be the thing you start your day with.

making bed

Let's face it: mornings are not for everybody (myself absolutely included). And we have a tendency to be lazy, indulging in habits that include skipping breakfast, hitting 'snooze,' and not making our beds.

So when you have a bad morning, more than likely it will throw off the rest of your day and leave your brain spinning. To avoid that, I have come up with nine reaons why making your bed in the morning will make the rest of your day 10x better.

1. You are less likely to get back in bed.

Giphy

The temptation to fall back asleep is always there, so if you make your bed then you are more than likely not going to want to sleep without all of your warm blankets. And, because most of us are lazy in the mornings, it will take too much effort to unmake it.

2. It declutters your mind.

Giphy

Whenever you wake up, get ready, and have a few minutes to spare before you head out the door, if you look around and see all of the chores you have to do (including mkaing up your bed), then a kind of anxiety begins to form. More mess in your house means more mess in your mind.

3. No need to close your bedroom door for visitors.

You know when you have last minute guests come over and you are scrambling to try and make your home "acceptable," if your bed is already made, then that is one less thing to worry about!

4. Sets the mood for the rest of the day.

Giphy

If you begin your day with one productive thing, your brain is usually pushed to do more productive things throughout the day.

5. Helps you form good habits.

Sure, this may not stop you from biting your nails or chewing your hair, but it will help your brain follow a pattern. And, if you continously follow this patern, you will make it a habit, and once one good habit starts, then it tends to be easier to form other good ones.

6. Makes you mother proud.

Giphy

Because if you were raised in any shape, form, or fashion like I was, then you know if your momma came to the house, apartment, dorm, etc., and saw your bed wasn not made, she would have a stroke.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day.

If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
