However, it must be in the genes, because my whole family are night owls. Most days it&#8217;s pretty much midnight. We\u2019re just night people and that\u2019s what we like.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>However, I\u2019m going to school next month to get my CPT and in order for me to get to college on time (I have to drive a ways), I will have to get up ridiculously early to get to classes. Seeing me early in the morning you\u2019d think I was in shell-shock, so I decided that for the month of August I would change.<\/p>\n<p>Every week I\u2019ve been getting up half an hour earlier. This gives my body one week to adjust to the new time before I get up a half an hour earlier the following week. So far, it\u2019s been going good. I\u2019m going to be a morning person if it kills me! I\u2019m now down to getting up at 7:30 and I know that\u2019s going to sound lame to you morning people, but when you go to bed in the wee morning hours, this is an accomplishment! Trust me.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3087\" title=\"Morning Me 01\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Morning-Me-01-510x510.jpg\" alt=\"Morning Me 01\" width=\"510\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Morning-Me-01-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Morning-Me-01-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Morning-Me-01-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Morning-Me-01.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(<em>follow me on Instagram: <strong>colourfulpalate<\/strong><\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>The tricky part is going to bed early. Somehow I have this idea that I can still stay up late and get up early; however, I\u2019m learning this doesn\u2019t really work. Nope.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll get it though. I still have 3 weeks to completely evolve myself into a bubbly, bouncing morning person. Okay. Just a morning person.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tips for any of you who are like me (i.e. hopeless night owls):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t drink anything with caffeine before bed<\/strong> \u2013 you want to sleep as quickly as possible<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare the night before<\/strong> \u2013 set out your clothes, running shoes, a big glass of water, ect<\/li>\n<li><strong>Set your alarm to a happy song<\/strong> &#8211; morning good mood here we come!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Put your alarm on the other side of the room<\/strong> \u2013 then you have to get OUT of bed to shut it off<\/li>\n<li><strong>GET UP (don\u2019t think about it!) and drink 1 tall glass of water<\/strong> \u2013 this gets your system going and tells your body that you\u2019re awake<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do a quick workout to get your body awake<\/strong> \u2013 you might want to try my <a title=\"Wake Up Call Workout\" href=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/2012\/06\/19\/wake-up-call-workout\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wake Up Call Workout<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3088\" title=\"Morning Wake Up Call 01\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Morning-Wake-Up-Call-01-510x286.jpg\" alt=\"Morning Wake Up Call 01\" width=\"510\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Morning-Wake-Up-Call-01-510x286.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Morning-Wake-Up-Call-01-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Morning-Wake-Up-Call-01.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hope those tips help and seriously, if you have any tips for me I\u2019d LOVE to hear them!
