Garfieldt’s Ultimate Guide to Waking Up Early: How to Survive the Morning Routine

 Hello, Early Risers!

I am not like you, I do not wake up early under any circumstance. If you insist on waking up early and want to be like Odie, here is my ultimate guide to surviving the early morning routine. As a cat who’s not a fan of waking up early, I’ve developed some strategies to make those early mornings a bit more bearable. Here’s how I would tackle the day with somewhat of a smile.

The Gradual Wake-Up Approach:

Instead of jumping straight into the morning routine like Odie, use the gradual wake-up approach. Stretch slowly, yawn deeply, and give yourself a few extra minutes to adjust. This helps to ease the transition from sleep to wakefulness.

The “Breakfast First” Strategy:

Start your morning with a delicious breakfast. A satisfying meal helps to kickstart your day and provides the energy needed for whatever lies ahead. Make sure your breakfast is both nutritious and enjoyable. Lasagna is best.



The Morning Routine Ritual:

Establish a morning routine that you look forward to. Whether it’s a quiet moment with a favorite toy or a relaxing stretch, eating a big portion of lasagna or drinking an ungodly amount of coffee, having a pleasant routine makes early mornings more enjoyable.

The “Distraction Technique”:

If you’re struggling to wake up, use the distraction technique. Engage in activities that capture your attention and make the morning more engaging. This helps to shift focus from the discomfort of waking up to something enjoyable. Teasing Jon is a great morning activity.

The Positive Mindset Method:

Adopt a positive mindset about the early morning. Focus on the benefits of starting the day early, such as having more time for activities such as eating and napping, these will help enjoy a peaceful start of the day. A positive attitude can make waking up less of a chore.

With these strategies, you’ll handle early mornings with greater ease and find ways to make them more enjoyable. Embrace the start of the day and make the most of your mornings!
