First we urged you to turn summer upside-down by saying yes to a bunch of wonderful things . Now it’s time to shake up your wake up by making the most of mornings. Trust us: Even if you’re not an early bird, you’re gonna want to try some of these.

Set your alarm and…

• Bring back coffee and donuts for the roommates, your S.O., or just for you.
• Get your workout done and feel energized and awesome the whole day.
• Sit. Surrounded by peaceful silence. And just be.
• Bake blueberry banana bread with cinnamon crunch topping .
• Inhale a ton of fresh oxygen while you take an outdoor a.m. yoga class.
• Watch the sunrise.
• Read in bed with a big cup of your favorite tea .
• Start work early before anyone else is up and see if the quiet makes you more productive.
• Have breakfast in bed. ( BTW, we can help .)
• Get familiar with nocturnal penile tumescence .
• Shower together.
• Stretch … for later .
• Write. Paint. Sew. Play guitar. Do something creative and see if it makes the rest of the day better.
• Spoon. While the bed’s still warm.
• Take your mug of coffee out on the back deck, up on the roof, or in the backyard. Look around. Feel grateful.
• Meet up with friends or colleagues before work or school. Make breakfast the new happy hour.
• Make a to-do list for the day and feel good every time you check something off.
• Take a pet for a walk and see who’s up early in your neighborhood.
• Fall back asleep. If you have the time and it feels good, it’s okay to indulge in some more slumber.
