habit of the week - morning reading.

-



Good afternoon all!! Hope you are doing well! I am back with another instalment of my habit of the week series. I’ll start off with a review of last week’s habit (get up and go) and then get into this week’s (morning reading)!!

The ‘get up and go’ habit actually worked really well. I quite enjoyed it to be honest - getting out of bed first thing, or at least within a few minutes, was a really good way to start the morning. Having breakfast and then getting into the day means I get into it so much earlier! It makes me feel so much more productive. Especially if (and I’ve been trying to do this more) I’ve planned out my day the night before!

 However...I still succumbed every now and then to the phone/social media black hole, and a couple days this week I was on for an hour or so before getting up :( SO. That brings me to this week’s habit.

Morning reading. I did this on Sunday I believe it was...and oh my goodness it was the most relaxing and enjoyable way to start the morning. Instead of reaching for my phone first thing, my habit is to reach for my book, set an alarm, and read from about 7:30am-8am. Then, get up, make my bed, and head down for breakfast. 

One of my goals this month is to read everyday, as I want to get back into it more, and this would really help with that! Especially if I can turn it into a habit. I am hoping to solidify my morning and evening routines this month (that’s another two goals) so hopefully this makes it in there! Probably all my habit of the week’s so far will make it in there if I have anything to say about it haha. Which I do. I hope...😅😂. 

But anyways! That is my habit for this week. I love reading so honestly this shouldn’t be a hard one. What are your August goals? What habits are you hoping to start? Let me know in the comments below, or over on insta (@getupandoutblog if you aren’t following already)! 

Have a wonderful day, and I shall see you Sunday for a new post! :)

      Thanks!! It’s working out so far :)

      And yes for sure, while screens are definitely necessary it’s just as important to take breaks whenever possible, and give our eyes a break!!

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!! You should definitely check out her blog as well. ...

  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.

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 ...
