WAKE UP EARLY

Waking up early is the number one thing I see girls adding to their routines when they want to become that girl.

Create, organize, and adjust your calendar. Staying organized and on top of things will really help you be your best self. Use a planner, a monthly calendar, or a calendar app on your phone; whichever works best for you. Put in all your appointments, events, birthdays, holidays, anything important to stay on track.

READ MORE BOOKS

Find what type of books you enjoy reading and take time to read more! Whether you like to escape with fiction books or learn more with self-help books. Start a Good Reads account to find recommendations and keep track of your reading. Reading is a great way to relax, take your mind off things, expand your knowledge, and learn how to improve yourself.
