My mornings are almost entirely taken up by running or other workouts. I wake up super early (sometimes 4:30am) and have running partners, workouts, or run on my own. If I sleep in I’ll read a few blogs (DIY/Recipes/This place). I’ll pack my stuff for the day and head out, then eat breakfast at or before I get to work if I ran first.

Evenings are much more open and when I’m on my own I’ll take a walk around the town (I work in a city), go to a bookstore to read until I feel ready to go home, or go home and cook a nice meal and then watch a funny show with a glass of wine. If I have plans it’s usually to go to happy hour with friends.

I tend to get anxious in the evenings sometimes, especially if it’s because I have no other plans and feel like I’m forced to be alone. I used to play video games and draw on my tablet in my free time and never had problems being alone until I started college and lost interest in those things. I plan to also do more to decorate my apartment with some DIY projects, clean up a few areas so I don’t have to do it all on the weekend, and do some reading or journaling while listening to music to help me feel at peace. I want to fit in more meditation (I started using the Headspace app! Love it) but it’s hard because I’d rather do it in the morning but am too busy. I’m never anxious in the mornings and feel most productive/positive then.
