 Morning routines suck, and I am done with them. Hear me out on this one. For the past 10 years, I've tried to establish a morning routine because don't we all know that's the key to success? That's what the pretty people tell me, but it doesn't work for me, and I think that's okay. I am someone who has fibromyalgia, chronic illness, I deal with this stuff in just a lot of pain. Mornings are very difficult for me, and I've always tried to have consistency because that's what I've been told to do, but every day is different. It's always a rule of the dice, whether I'm gonna be a functional human being or absolutely sick in pain. When I tried to force myself into this box of like the morning routine, I just constantly felt stressed, overwhelmed, and like a failure. And so I decided that though it is a very beneficial thing for probably most people, that is no longer a standard or a goal I'm gonna have for myself. I make myself coffee, I kinda see how my body's feeling and I go from there. And honestly, it's been working out great. We don't have to hold ourselves to standards that don't work for us if they aren't built for our lives. Which is why it is my unpopular opinion.
