habit of the week - early wakeup

-

 

Good morning! Hope everyone is doing well. I am back with my fourth instalment of habit of the week! Honestly, these habits are so good to do and I enjoy doing this series so much. I have always loved self-improvement (I’ve bought so many self-improvement books over the years it’s not even funny lol) and so a series in which I do it is so much fun, and definitely helps to keep me accountable. I hope it has some value for you as well, whether that is through discovering new options for habits, or whether you actually try them along with me!! If you do, please let me know! That would be so cool.

Anyways, I’ll first discuss last week’s habit (morning reading) and then move on to this week’s habit (early wakeup)!


Last Week’s Habit: Morning Reading

I absolutely loved this habit. Reading in the morning is such a great way to start the day, especially given that one of my August goals is reading daily. I just finished the book All the Ever Afters (SO good, would definitely recommend), and I think I’ll go to Own the Day, Own Your Life by Aubrey Marcus next! Honestly though I usually just pick up whatever suits my fancy in that moment. I’ve been trying to read instead of going on social media as much in the morning, so just grabbing a book, no matter which one, has basically been the goal lol. Just the act of reading without a screen or anything is so nice, since I’ll probably be on a screen most of the rest of the day! 

End result: 13/10 would definitely recommend


This Week’s Habit: Early Wakeup

I’m kind of excited for this one, as I enjoy getting up before the rest of the world! The goal as of right now is to get up between 6:30am-7am, so I will aim for a bedtime of about 10:30pm. That’s the only way this is happening - I love getting up early but I still like to feel rested! So that’s about 8-8 and a half hours of sleep. 

It’s also cooler outside in the morning now which is nice - that will be the other way to get myself up! Sweater weather is nearly upon us and it is one of my favourite seasons for SURE. My plan is to grab a nice, warm sweater each morning, grab my book and headphones, and head downstairs to get breakfast. Then I can take it outside, listen to a podcast or something while I eat, and read once I’m finished! I’m getting excited just thinking about it to be honest.


That’s it for today’s post! Are you trying any new habits this week? Do you have any particular favourites? Let me know in the comments or on instagram!

I’ll post regular updates on the habit/life in general on instagram (@getupandoutblog) so make sure to check that out. I will post my review of this habit next Tuesday, and see you all this Sunday for another post! I hope you are all having a wonderful day.

Till next time! :)

Hey hey hey! How are you all? So, it's Sunday! Meaning, I'M BACK :)))) Okay, so I thought I'd do a combination post, since I only got one question haha :D So first for the question from  +Paige Petrovsky  : What made you want to start a blog ? THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION :))))))  I had always kind of wanted to do something like this, before I started. I loved (and still love) writing, and photography. I had just read Zoella's book, Girl Online, and so decided that it would be super cool to start a blog myself!! And here we are, two years later, still lovin' it :)) Alright. Now, I'm super excited to be doing a tag today!!!! The lovely  Sweet Treats  nominated me for the Mystery Bloggers Award!! A massive thank you to them, I'm honoured!! You should definitely go check out their blog cause it is pretty freaking awesome!! :) Also, the creator of this award is  Okoto Enigma , who is also pretty cool!!

  Hello! Long time no see, haha oops. It's been a minute. So today, I wanted to do a mini recap on my fave shows so far since quarantine! I'm sure I'm not alone in watching significantly more netflix since quarantine began lol. However, I wanted to give it a bit of a twist. So without further ado, I give you my quarantine thus far, as told through TV shows. Friends/The Goodwife - March/April/May Okay this is back when quarantine first began. My life consisted of watching Friends, doing schoolwork, procrastinating, doing more schoolwork, watching the Goodwife, and studying for exams. I can't actually remember which one I watched first - I think I watched them together. Luckily by this time there wasn't too much schoolwork left haha. But I watched all of both these shows those 3 months...I was a bit obsessed if you can't tell. But the episodes for friends were only 20ish minutes long! I would 100% recommend both of these shows though, amazing pieces of work.  10/1...

Heeey y'all. Sorry I'm late again :/ I always think I'll have time to post on the weekends but I always have too much homework D: I have a little time now though, so I thought I'd try and post :) It's that time of year. It's dreary, dark, wet/snowy (depending on where you live I guess haha), and it seems to be a common theme, to lose inspiration during winter. BUT NO MORE!!! For I have come to you with 7 tips on staying inspired throughout winter!!! SO LEGGO!!! :) 1. Set goals. If you have something to work towards, I think it's much easier to get through these months. But even better, set goals that make you excited to get up in the morning. And write them down!! I'm going to do that right now in fact - and you should too. Scroll down to the comments and put 'em in, we can support each other in our endeavours to reach our full potential :) Okay so for the winter (so from now - January - until, like, March) my ...
