I'm not naturally a morning person. My love of SoulCycle got me out of bed for months, but since I cut back on this workout out of necessity, I've fallen back into old habits. Hitting the snooze button five-plus times leaves me feeling groggy, seriously pisses off my boyfriend, and makes me rush around like a madwoman before running to the bus. In short, it's not the most pleasant way to start my day.
Lately, however, I've found that waking up (and actually getting out of bed) earlier totally transforms my morning. I know that staying in bed can feel like the right decision when you're cozy under the covers, but try waking up 15 minutes earlier, so you'll have ample time for one (or a combination!) of the following healthy rituals.
