Do Your Mornings Need A Makeover?

Do your mornings need a makeover?

Are you stressed, tired, running from one appointment to another and feeling exhausted?

Do you yearn to feel productive, rested, and happy? Do you want to achieve goals and have better relationships? Have you even set goals or a resolution for 2016 to get more organized, be on time, and “have it together”?

I have been there, too!

During my college years, I crammed for finals, with my breakfast consisting of a Poptart and a Pepsi while I rushed to get to class on time. I excused my bad habits with a new label! I was a person who “thrived on pressure”!

What a lie!

After having babies and trying to manage a home, family, and life I found myself craving peace and calmness in my life. The chaos made me irritable and I didn’t want to be a mom that was snapping at her kids.

Something had to change!

Let’s face it- marriage, motherhood, and managing a home is not always easy! It’s even harder when you are working outside the home or managing a home based business!

All of these involve a lot of work and sacrifice and time. The question that I just couldn’t find an answer to was if I’m more productive in the morning, why was I not a morning person?

I’ve always considered myself to be more productive in the morning than at night, but still was struggling to maintain the right routine for my family.

Lucky for me, Crystal from Money Saving Mom launched her new course Make Over Your Mornings.

I’ve followed Crystal’s blog for years and I was instantly intrigued. Crystal is one of my favorite bloggers and has inspired me in so many ways.

At first I was skeptical of paying $17 for the Make Over Your Mornings course. (I’m very cheap and very short on extra time so I was worried I wouldn’t get through it). I also wondered that since I’ve followed her for so long and have read many books on time management if I’d learn anything new.

The more I thought about how I’ve been inspired by Crystal over the years, I decided to Make Over My Morning! It is only a 2 week course and each day’s lesson takes only about 15 minutes to complete (there is a short video, a small reading assignment and a then a small homework assignment).

After debating about it for over a month, I realized that if I couldn’t take 15 minutes a day for myself for 14 days, especially after I am such a self-care advocate, would be not only sad but hypocritical!

I’m very excited to report that the Make Over Your Mornings course was totally worth the investment! Not only that but I learned 6 really important lessons from this course that have been crucial for less meltdowns and stress in the morning.

If you have struggled with getting your mornings in order, I would highly encourage you to invest in yourself and makeover your mornings to live your best life!
