I considered 10 a.m. to be early, and even then I was dragging myself out of bed and begrudgingly moving through a morning routine. But as I've learned, while being a morning person for some is natural, you can also become one intentionally. I changed my night routineYou can't expect to become a morning person if you're up all night. To become a morning person, I needed to find ways to have more productive days and calmer nights. I gave myself morning enticementsIt took me 12 years to become a morning person.
