I don’t know about you, but I’m the kind of person who can take 10 minutes to get ready or an hour. And it might not look like there’s too much of a difference either way. The thing is, though, that having extra time to get ready is literally so important for the rest of the day.
I can do my full face routine. I don’t wear a ton of make up but the make up I do wear I want to wear well. This means no mascara on my eye lid and my moisturizer needs to be rubbed in completely. etc. For those of you that know this struggle (I’m talking anyone) you know that those little things can really matter to confidence.
Here’s the other thing, though. Getting ready with more time allows a better start to your day. Instead of rushing around to get ready, there is time to breathe if you’re having a slow day. Or if you’re not, there’s time to do other things. I make my bed and put books away and close my closet doors everyday before I leave. When I return, the room feels more relaxed and put together and that makes me feel more put together.
So here’s my suggestions: get up literally just 10-15 minutes earlier. Let yourself take a minute to pick out the earrings you always mean to wear and never do. Let yourself pay extra attention to your hair or double check your bag and go over your planner. Yes that’s 10 minutes you could be sleeping but I promise it’s worth it.
