This infographic outlines five ways to increase your happiness in the mornings. The suggestions are relatively simple and they should be helpful when it comes to making your mornings more enjoyable.
I designed this infographic as a motivation to make more of my mornings and not squander them. In essence, I see myself as a morning person even though I find it notoriously difficult to go to sleep early at night.
The idea of lying in bed until late does not appeal to me in the slightest. I tend to be more creative in the mornings than at any other time of day. Whenever I write a poem, it is usually completed in my head by the time I have finished getting dressed and ready.
My difficulty in the mornings is that since I cannot stand sleeping in coal black darkness with the curtains closed, I tend to wake up when the sun rises.
This can be a problem if I go to bed close to midnight . . . which often happens.
I am then beset with the wretchedness of feeling hung over from exhaustion with no chance of going back to sleep. Hence, my mornings are sometimes not very productive.
I really need to discipline myself, manage my time more effectively, and go to sleep early. Then I can make the most of waking up at daybreak and enjoying my coffee as the sun rises.
So those are my recommendations for increasing your levels of happiness in the mornings.
