Why I Still Get Ready Every Morning To Work From Home
Never underestimate the power that a bit of makeup and a nice outfit have
My morning routine can make or break my attitude for the rest of the day. I don't drink water with apple cider vinegar or do an hour of sunrise yoga but I do like to get ready as if I were going outside.
I used to think that working from home gave me all the freedom in the world. I could work as much as I wanted, wearing whatever I want and the best part, I could do it all from the comfort of my bed.
These bad habits caught up to me and while I was getting work done, I was dreading it. I was confused as to why this new arrangement was bringing me down. After all, I could stay in bed all day and eat whenever I wanted, all while wearing pajamas.
After a moment of self-discussion, I decided I would try getting ready every morning before I sat down for work.
