Thanksgiving at home! Woke up with lots of time, talked with my mom, and now im going to start getting ready. Ah… takin it nice and slow :)

I’ve been trying to take it slower in the morning by relaxing and getting my mind mentally preped for the day before ever getting out of bed. :)

I didn’t move faster, but during the week I have been getting up 30 minutes earlier, and I do feel less rushed and more productive.

I always wake up early, usually 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours earlier than I need. I dont like rushing and I find if I relax and take my time I am in a better mood and since I am a customer service representative I am able to greet people in a friendly manner even though it is 6am and I am working. :)

I’m a person who is late to everything! Maybe waking up 30 mins early will actually help me be on time for more things!

I have a bad habit of getting out of the bed at the very last possible time to make it to work on time. Which of course means I am can end of late because of any little thing that comes up, and often end up starting my day rushing around. I am going to try and do a 30 minute walk, which will be nice not only for but for my dog. (Now he gets very short morning walks made up for with longs ones at night)

I woke up at 5:30 this morning and felt totally awake so I got out of bed. I had almost 2 hours to relax, read, make coffee and enjoy my morning. I’m so ready to work today!

ummm I don’t think I want to wake up 30 min earlier, I already wake up at 4:45 and have to rush rush rush

After beggin my 5 year old to go to bed, it’s another challenge to get him out of it. I always wait til the last minute to get up myself, whioch makes it a long and difficult task to get him up and conscious by the time i’m ready to throw him in the car, turn back around to get his lunch i forgot, bring him to school, and race to work. I actually started getting up early this morning and I got everything together before waking him up. I got him to school in time for breakfast and got to work before the doctors.

every since I had kids I have been doing this. I was able to go to work when I wanted to because my job was very flexible, now I don’t work away from home very often. I NEVER use an alarm anymore and I feel so much less stressed. My body knows when it is ready to get up!!

Help! I am a 1st grade teacher with 2 kids of my own. My husband works really late most nights and doesn’t get home until the kids are in bed. I am trying very hard to make lifestyle changes to boost my energy levels to make it through the day. I gave up caffeine and soda. I have drastically limited sugar intake, increased water and fiber in my diet and began an exercise routine. I still am completely zapped of energy. I already get up at 5:15 to get all 3 of us out the door by 6:30. If I go to bed any earlier, I will never see my husband!

I too also have a bad habit of lying in bed until the last minute and end up hurring the whole morning. Stating tomorrow I will start the 30 minues early rise and see what happens.

I have just finished driving the first leg of the DOC tour and I am resting in my hotel. I am hoping to complete as many challenges as possible while traveling on the road and this one seems like a good one to start with. Tomorrow, I will wake up early enough to go swimming in the pool before I head out on the road again. A few laps should get my ready for the day, right?

I am just as guilty as everyone else. I wait until the last possible minute to get up and it’s getting later and later. I forget things at hoe all the time and I’m very aggrevated every morning. I’m also more tired when I sleep later because I use all my energy in that time I’m getting ready. If I just woke up a half hour earlier, I wouldn’t feel rushed and maybe I’d get to work with my coffee instead of leaving it on the counter. I will start this tomorrow and hopefully it’ll be a good day.

I did it!! I woke up 30 minutes earlier than normal. I got ready with no stress, no yelling and got to work with everything including my coffee. I’ve been at work for 4 hours and I am in an excellent mood. I’m going to make a habit out of getting up early from now on because it works!

I am going to try this because my mornings are always so rushed. I am hoping to have time to do a yoga routine in the AM. Good way to start the day.
