#Early Morning Routine

[fennign]

Everyday when I’m getting ready I make sure to set aside to 5 minutes to shake my fist and scream at god

It helps with the skincare

Are you more of a night or morning person?

I am not exactly a night or morning person. If anything, you could call me an early-morning person. And by early, I mean really early. My day begins at 3:30 AM. Yes, you read that right. And no, it’s not illegal (though it might feel like it to my neighbors). At that hour, I’m usually the only one awake, with my keyboard clacking and my light glowing like a tiny lighthouse in a sea of sleeping…

Just like printers, eyeliners can smell when you're in a hurry. Don't upset eyeliners.

isn't it weird how if you get up at 7 or 8, do your work all day, then have free time and go to bed at 11 that's absolutely fine

but if i said i get up at 10, do fun stuff in the morning then work in the evening and go to bed late, i could be called lazy, nevermind that i'm getting just as much or MORE work done as i would in a traditional work day

Today was a bittersweet day – the last day of the three-month parental leave Steve had taken when their daughter Robbie was born before he headed back to his counseling job.

Eddie knows that Steve is feeling torn a few different ways about going back to work.

On the one hand, Steve loves his job, and he’d worked his ass off earning his doctorate so he could be a trauma therapist just like he’d planned. Kids had also been a part of his plan, obviously, but as more of an in addition to type of way, rather than instead of when it came to his career. Eddie knows this, and he knows that Steve is excited to go back, to reconnect with his patients after three months apart.

Eddie also knows that their kids are everything to Steve in a way his job will never be (duh), and Eddie had seen the way Steve refused to ignore the gravity of today – the last day he doesn’t have to share his time with anything other than their daughters.

Steve had been emotional about going back to work in a similar way the first time around with Moe, and he’d called home about eight or nine times during his first day back in the office, asking how things were going and if he’d missed anything. Now, Moe is two-and-a-half (and some change, if they’re being technical), and Robbie just hit the three-month mark a few days ago. This time, Steve had done his best to split his time between their two daughters, and it’s not all that different from their normal day-to-day, honestly, just…something heavier in the air, maybe.

Now, Moe’s all fresh and clean from her bath, her bangs slicked back with the rest of her damp hair (Steve had put on a whole show of planting kisses all over her forehead and saying, “is this where you’ve been hiding your brilliant brain from us?” which always sends Moe into giggling hysterics), and Steve’s got her all bundled up in a big fluffy towel, snuggling her close with one arm as he balances Robbie on his chest with the other, all of them piled into a rocking chair while Eddie sits stretched out on Robbie’s rug.

“I’m probably not gonna be home when you wake up tomorrow morning,” Steve tells Moe, and it’s not the first time he’s brought up this particular subject today, but, y’know…toddlers. Really gotta nail in the point sometimes with toddlers, “‘Cause I’m going back to work, so I have to leave early to drive into Boston.”

“Why do you hafta drive to Boston?” Moe asked.

“Because that’s where my office is. Remember a few weeks ago when we visited my office?”

“Yeah and they met Robbie.”

“That’s right,” Steve nodded, “Everyone I work with met Robbie. I got to take a break from work when Robbie was born, and now it’s time for me to go back.”

Moe’s eyebrows are furrowed.

“But…I don’t want you to go.”

“I know, bug,” he tells her, “I miss you and Robbie and Daddy like crazy when I’m not home with you.”

“So why don’t you take more break?”

“I sorta took all the break I’m allowed to, sweet pea. It’s time for me to go back to work.”

Eddie looks at Moe, sees the cogs turning in her little brain as she tries to figure out a way to convince her dad to stay home with her.

“But what if you just don’t work anymore?”

It’s a good question, Eddie knows, and she’s not the only one asking it.

Not too long after Robbie’s arrival, when Max and El had come to visit and meet the new baby, Max had privately asked Eddie if he thought Steve might throw in the towel on the whole career thing this time around. Again, it’s a fair question for anybody who really knows Steve, anybody who sees how much he loves their kids and how much he loves being a dad, even if Eddie knows the answer is no. Still, it’s a close no.

Steve hums sympathetically, “Maybe someday, but I like my job. I get to help people, and I worked hard in school to be able to do that. Someday you might decide you want to have a job where you do more school and get special degrees.”

“Like what kinds of jobs?”

“Like a doctor or a lawyer, or maybe you want to work in a lab and do research on something. It’s a big world, Moe, and you can do whatever you set your mind to."

"I want to be an astronaut," Moe tells them.

"Well, there you go."

"Or I wanna be a cookie."

"Oh-" Steve's eyebrows furrow as Eddie starts to laugh. "Alright..."

"That's my girl," Eddie says, "Astronaut or pastry. I like it."

It was morning, the sun was warm but a cool breeze with a smell of wet earth balanced it out. At that moment I felt grateful, because something so simple made me feel alive and made me realize that it is exactly in the simple things in life that we find the peace we are looking for so much.

The way you begin shapes the rest of your journey. A bright start leads to a brilliant day.

[stxrrgrll]

What time should you be

waking up.

You should really be using the 24 hours you have in a day to your full advantage. What time you should be waking up is completely personal and will differ from others around you but none the less you should not be sleeping in every single day.

{Getting started}

5:00-6:30 should be when you get up to start your day, setting multiple alarms may help with getting you up.

When you wake up you shouldn’t be checking social media or text messages. This is one of the only parts of the day that is best for you-time. Stretch a little bit, drink some ice water and listen or read some daily affirmations. Don’t forget the most important meal of your day, a filling homemade breakfast will be the cherry on top to waking up early, it’ll give you energy and keep you going throughout the day.

{Nobody said it was easy.}

A big change in your daily routine isn’t mean to be easy, it’s meant to help you become a better version of yourself and create the dream girl you are striving to be. Stay strong and believe in yourself.
