When pandemic happened and we all were under the lockdown, I had become very lazy. I used to get up at 12:30 – 1:00 pm in the noon and sleep around 4 am at night.

This routine was not just hampering my health but also my work. I used to take bath and get ready to work by 2-3pm, which was again my nap time. Yes, I have a habit of taking a nap around 4-5pm every day and this habit is since my school days. So, I feel super lazy at this time.

And because of this, I couldn’t focus on work and my productivity was also decreasing.

Then I decided to improve this. But I was tough to get up at 9:00 am when I had already become habitual of getting up at 12:30-1pm.

So, I started with getting up at 12:00pm, then 11:30am, then 11:00am, then 10:30 and now the time is 9:30am which is fine and suits my regime.

I do sleep late at night, around 2 am, at times 3 am. BUT I alway get up at 9:30 am.

You may pick your getting up time slot according to your work or routine. 9:30 am is a perfect time for me because I work from home. My client calls, my team meetings, reviews of submissions, content creation, shoots etc. all starts after 11:00 am. So, I get enough time to stick to my mindful morning routine, till I begin to work.

My intention of giving you this example is that I started with tiny lifestyle changes and now I have reached the goal I set for myself which compliments my life, my work, my health and me-time.

But, fret not!

I am not asking you to start getting up early in the morning, it is totally up to you. But, what I mean is, try implementing these tiny lifestyle changes as it will surely improve your life and lifestyle.
