1. Wake up around 10 A.M.

I am NOT a morning person, so I craft my schedule accordingly. My earliest class all week is 12:30 P.M. While I could sleep in until noon every day and make the most of my comfy bed, I try to wake up a little early so I can be productive and start off my day right.

2. Eat something light and drink some water.

I'll normally eat a granola bar or something fairly light just to get something in my stomach to wake me up a little.

3. Light ab workout.

Along with not being a morning person, I am NOT a gym person. I hate the gym, and every time I end up going there, I end up walking around clueless. So, I tend to stick to simple workouts in my apartment. I go on Pinterest and find ab workouts to do. Nothing crazy, just enough to keep me from relapsing to the Freshman 15 again...

4. Shower.

After I work out, I like to shower so I feel fresh and clean for the day.

5. Breakfast.

Once I'm clean and ready for the day, I make myself an actual breakfast. I usually alternate between three different things. My first option is eggs and toast. I usually go for this since it's pretty quick, healthy, and filling.

Another option is a smoothie bowl. This takes a little more time, so if I know I have time to spare, I'll go for this one. I blend frozen bananas and strawberries and pour granola and honey on top. This will have me full for hours.

My last option (and the most unhealthy) is a bagel with cream cheese. If I want to be a little more healthy, I'll substitute cream cheese with peanut butter.

6. Coffee.

I can't function without coffee. I am a living meme.

7. Manifest what I want for the day.

So, this might sound a little weird, but stick with me. When I make my coffee, I keep it simple and just add creamer. When I go to mix it with a spoon, I practice manifestation. I swirl the spoon counterclockwise and think of all the negative things I want to let go for the day.

Then I swirl the spoon clockwise and think of all the positive things I want to incorporate into my day. It's a little cheesy, but it puts me in the right mindset for the day. Try it!

8. Get some work done.

While I usually don't have much more time to spare, I try to get myself to get one thing done before I get moving for the day. Whether it's simple like cleaning my room or studying something before class, I find that doing this will motivate me for class or whatever else I need to get done that day. Starting with something small kickstarts my energy to take on the big tasks for the day.
