Go to bed when you are tired
If your body is tired, your brain is tired as well. That way, you’re resting everything that you need to so it all works the best that it can the next day. And we’ve all been there in the morning when the sun rises and the rooster crows…and we just aren’t ready to get up because we stayed up too late. Don’t do that to yourself. Give your body and brain the rest it needs!

Give yourself something to look forward to
I don’t care what it is. A great breakfast, a morning jog, a cup of coffee by yourself in complete silence. Anything is fine. There is nothing more motivating that can bring simple happiness than when you get out of bed and do something for yourself that you’re excited for.
