Are Morning Routines Really Worth It?
Why Simplifying Your Morning Could Be the Best Decision You Make
Morning routines. You’ve heard the buzz. Every high-achiever, influencer, and self-help guru seems to have the perfect morning routine that they swear by. You know the drill: wake up at 4 a.m., hit the gym, meditate, read a chapter from a motivational book, and sip your coffee while basking in the early morning glow.
But is it really worth all the effort?
Let’s dive into the real question: Why do we even try to wake up earlier?
The Myth of the Perfect Morning
We’re constantly bombarded with the idea that successful people wake up early. Social media paints a picturesque version of the morning — fit bodies doing yoga at dawn, meticulously brewed coffee, and smiling faces ready to conquer the day. But what’s often missing from the picture? The truth.
