Ah, the early birds. They are the ones who can wake up bright and early without missing a beat and don’t need IV shots of caffeine to survive the day.
If these folks are aliens to you, than you’re not a morning person. But because this is life, we all have to wake up sometime in the morning as addicted as we are to our bed covers.
For us morning despisers, we have to sometimes lie to ourselves in order to make it through the least favorite part of our day:
- I’m going to get out of bed the minute the alarm rings and not hit the snooze button.
- And I don’t need my phone as an extra alarm clock.
- I’ll only sleep for fifteen more minutes then wake up.
- I totally won’t oversleep.
- My eyelids will stay open. Even in the shower.
- I know exactly what I want to wear today.
- And I’ll wear brighter colors instead of all black.
- No need to hide the dark rings under my eyes behind shades because there will be none of those.
- I’m going to ease up on the caffeine today.
- I think I’m going to try the Starbucks green tea instead of a frappuccino, or macchiato, or an americano. Certainly not an espresso shot.
- I only need one, tall size.
- I have no desire to punch the smiling, chatty barista.
- I’m going to smile at the person jogging at 7am in the morning.
- Because there’s totally nothing wrong with that.
- In fact, I should probably give it a shot myself.
- I’ll start jogging at 6am every morning, including Sunday. That’ll get me in shape.
- I will not side-eye that guy who’s playing music out loud on the train.
- Or the teenagers screaming at each other for no reason.
- I won’t be hostile towards my early bird co-workers.
- “I’m so impressively tired today” will not leave my lips.
- I’m going to say “goodmorning!” with the biggest smile on my face.
- I’ll speak comprehensible sentences too.
- I’m going to bed early, so I can wake up early in the morning and do this report.
- And actually get it done.
- I don’t miss my bed at all.
