The Best Parts Of Waking Up

The morning can be our power hour, magic time, or the most productive and creative period of our day. But some of the best parts of waking up are the small things. The little moments and rituals that set us up for happiness and success!

You all know how much I love the early morning hours. As a proud member of the 4am (or earlier) club, you can say it is 100% my favorite time of the day. But it's not just those super early hours that I enjoy, it's the entire morning and always ends when my coffee. I drink coffee a bit later, usually around 10am, which ends up signaling the afternoon for me. From that moment I wake up to the last sip of coffee, here are what I think the BEST parts of waking up are:

Morning workouts

Getting all the essential blog and school work done

Noticing the sun rising

Enjoying a slow breakfast (my favorite meal!)

Reading through that Bloglovin' feed

Taking stock for what I can do the rest of the day (now that all urgent obligations are finished)

Knowing that it's a new start for something great, positive, and productive to be accomplished

If waking up from a difficult day, I know that I'm stronger and can make it through again

The sweet silence and stillness that comes with those early hours before (most) of the world is up and active

Ending with a pot of fresh brewed coffee to sip and savor

Now, what's the best part of waking up for you?

We all know the iconic Folgers® jingle reminding us every time on one of the best parts of waking up, COFFEE! Folgers is our American inspiration for great mornings, following our dreams and passions, and stepping out in the world each day with confidence. This year, they’ve teamed up with country music singer/songwriter Chris Young, to encourage aspiring musicians to create their own version of the iconic Best Part of Wakin’ Up™ jingle in the Folgers Jingle Contest!

So tell me:

+ What's "the best part of wakin' up" for you?

    Morning is my favorite, too. I'm a 5am riser ...love to spend time in the Word and in prayer and then walk the pier with my puppy at sunrise. It's so peaceful! And, oh ...my morning cup of coffee. I'm currently obsessed with french press and fresh ground beans. Takes a minute ...but worth it.

      I have a French press! But I still haven't sat down to look at how to actually use it 😛

    My favorite part of waking up is my little girl looking at me and saying "ugga mugga" (she watches to much Daniel Tiger), I love reading your morning routine, I always wondered how you got so much accomplished!

    My cup of coffee and quiet time is my favorite part of the day!

    I also love during the spring & summer when it's warmer outside to sit on the back patio & watch the horses in the field. So peaceful!

    I love waking up before everyone in the house does. That smell of fresh made coffe, and that silence before the morning madness is what I love the most.
