The fact that you woke up that early and STILL had decaf AND went to the gym is truly so disciplined and amazing!! I have terrible insomnia to the point where I struggle falling asleep until closer to 5, let alone waking up that that point, so it’s really interesting to see how you used your night routine to benefit your mornings. Another great video, Harriet! Slaying the day away for sure
Oh my gosh 😭 I have insomnia too but it’s definitely a lot milder than yours sounds, it makes me so sad for you bc I truly know how much it can impact your life. HIGHLY recommend red lights at night, a nice cosy bath if you have one & a sleep meditation. Changed the game for me ❤️
@@scrivspo I don’t have a bathtub at my current place but I’m moving in like a week and a half so I’m suuuper excited to start doing bubble baths to relax at night. I’ll have to try the red lights too for sure. I also want to be better about putting my phone away earlier in the night bc I think being on it too much bc I can’t sleep is a big problem of mine
I loved how you were realistic about not maintaining the early rise and prioritizing getting good sleep!! 👌🏻 This psych nurse is so proud of you!! Great message because I need to be realistic about my habits as well. I totally agree doing this once or twice a year as a boot camp is a great idea and watching the Sunrise makes me feel so alive, human, and grateful. Thank you Harriet!!
Love youuu!! Thank you for doing such a hard job, so grateful there are people like you in the world!
I just love your personality, love how honest and real you were throughout this whole thing. Your happiness at being able to see the sunrise was so precious, it's such a reminder to appreciate the little things in life.
Also this has inspired me to try getting up earlier. I used to be a morning person but once the habit slips, it's really hard to get back into it and I haven't been feeling my best and productive self when I get up so late. The hardest thing is going to sleep early enough because I always end up scrolling on my phone for way too long
i literally relate soooo hard to your second comment. even after filming this i've slipped back into old patterns 😂 going to bed at a reasonable hour is weirdly so hard but i believe in us!! let's not let our phones control us, we got this 💖💖💖
you getting the afternoon zoomies was so adorable
Hehehe sometimes I am a freak but we love it 💅🏼
i started doing this today!! woke up at 5:30AM and gen its been such a good day like my day feels longer and i was just at home today and yet i felt just so much better. waking up early isnt just about getting your fitness in its about having more time in the day for urself, i gen love how it changes your life style and honestly i would absolutely recommend waking up between 5am-6am every day its just such a simple and easy life style change that makes you feel like you're in less of a rut
I couldn’t agree more!!!
Loved everything about this
I’m so so happy you enjoyed!!!
This is the MOST relatable ✨ waking up at 5am ✨ so thank you for being so real and open!
that makes me so happy!! thank you for watching!
I love how honest this is too!! I would massively struggle with doing this challenge 😅
It killed me but also saved me hahaha
You are probably the only person that has ever been able to motivate me to even attempt a 5am wake up time. SLAY 🙌
Also omg new moon - I get it. I get it.
Loved this video!
YAaasssss new moon girlie 💅🏼
LOVE seeing your channel grow. Honestly your videos are the only thing i've been enjoying on youtube, and this one was exactly what i needed as motivation for this week. Loads of love from all over across the world, Argentina
This means the absolute world!! Thank you for watching, I’m so happy you enjoy my content ❤️❤️❤️
If a video ever deserved a thumbs up, it's this one! Such a joyful video! I'm the biggest night owl but this video has made me determined to try get up earlier and start yoga again and leaving some room for some quiet before work each morning
oh my god I just finished this comment and you started yoga 🥰 I'm also an Adriene stan! No...now you're talking about reading and meeting Beth....🤣
ahhh this makes me so happy, i'm so happy you enjoyed it!! it definitely doesn't have to be 5am, but leaving a bit of time for yourself before your day starts is a game changer!
Harriet!! You have inspired me! The way you speak about how you feel and how thinking abut things is harder than doing them resonated with me. Definitely gonna try this myself because seeing how it made you feel has got me excited to try!!
Amazing video as always, much love 💖
Yesss omg let me know how you go with it! Remember the first day will probably suck but it’s worth pushing through for the benefits ❤️
You are SO comforting to watch
This means so much 🥹 thank you!!!
This was so good! It was nice to see you become more and more alive as the week went by! Will check out the meditation you did, I'm always looking for good ones! Have a great week!
I’m so happy you enjoyed!! Thanks for watching ❤️❤️❤️
I enjoyed this video soooo much. The perfect balance of motivating, calm and as always, extremely funny. Love your hair at this length! xx
Yayyy I’m so happy you liked it!! And thank u bestie I’m definitely loving the short hair atm ❤️
wow i loved this whole video harriet!! and your glasses are soooo cute they suit you so well :’)
This comment makes me soo happy!! Thank you for watching ❤️❤️
Great effort Harriet! Very nice and relaxing video as usual 💖
Thank you guys! 💖
thank u so much, Harriet!! I needed this so bad as I also have been waking up rlly late cause lately I don’t sleep until the early mornings. I need to get my shit together for uni, which is approaching in a few weeks and so I have so much I need to do before that in my hectic household. This helped and so glad to see it helped u too💗
Ugh it’s so so hard to change your sleep routine but you’ve got this!!! You’ll feel so good in your new routine ❤️❤️❤️
Your videos bring me so much calm and positive energy I’m so grateful and happy that I subscribed a few months ago😊❤
This means the world, thank you for your support ❤️❤️
YES!!! I’m naturally an early riser (having cats forces the issue too lol) and it’s so amazing what a nice morning routine can do for you. I recently reset my routine and it’s been such a nice change and shift. Definitely feel more positive and less stressed throughout the day. So glad you found some useful tidbits out of this experiment.
Yessss! It really does make you feel more positive!!
My cat gives me the opposite problem
Just my favourite video. Loved hearing your reflections on the experience and seeing your soul light up with that sunrise 😩💜
It was good to hear your honesty about the wake up time going forward - the whole time I was thinking yes but where is Ethan?! I'm trying to reset my morning routine to an earlier getting up time but its much more difficult with a partner who is very anxious about getting enough sleep due to past insomnia issues. Currently trying to find that right balance between carving out that time for me and respecting his/ our relationship's needs too! X
Ethan was away this week ❤️❤️ I feel you! Having a partner definitely means more compromise with your mornings/nights but so so worth it for the right person!!
Love this
Fascinating❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed!
Can Feel your happiness gal keep killing it ❤
Aw yayyy ❤️❤️❤️
Harriet, I woke up on the completely wrong side of the bed today. I'm at 16 minutes in of your video and (well after some coffee and food and medication), I just ran upstairs to my office desk and my planner to continue watching, feeling super motivated. I maintain that we would be best friends if you were American. We are now, too, of course, but you know what I mean :) I have so enjoyed watching you and your channel grow.
This makes me so happy that it motivated you 🥹 we ARE besties but I do know what you mean hehe
sky haul might be my favorite joke of the week. love you
Love youuuu
Harriet!!! I enjoyed this so much!! You've inspired me! I'm gonna give this a try 💖.
P.s. I adore your content. This is the first vlog I've EVER watched! You remind me so much of my dear friend from Perth ❤☺️.
Omg this is such a lovely comment!!!
You slayed this video once again queen!!! This video actually made me miss my early morning half marathon training in winter and early spring with the crisp air OMG might need to start again
Yes do it!! We can be training buddies hahaha
@@scrivspo 🥺🥺 I love that!! I went for a 5k run yesterday and it was great!
This video made me so happy to watch!!!!!
This comment made me so happy to read!!!
My fav video of yours ever
Thanks bestie 🥹🩷
Omg it’s meeeee! Loved this video sm, slayed it 🫶🏻
Always running to your new videos!!
omg i cant even imagine doing that!! i loved the video. greetings from uruguay🇺🇾❤️
Thank you for watching!!!
Your gratitudes 🥹🥹
You are so special and authentic. Thank you for being silly and genuine.
Big things coming your way. 💕💕💕
Awww thank you so so much!! Love you ❤️❤️
Love that you bleep out "hey google". So considerate :')
Hahaha I hate when my Google gets triggered by CZcams videos
This was such a fun video I loved seeing how happy the sunrise made you and your zoomies moment lol 😂
Hehehe I’m so glad you enjoyed!!
I usually really struggle watching longer videos especially vlog style ones but this was really fun and engaging the way it was edited and paced! Glad you had a good experience with it ultimately, all I could think the whole time was “couldn’t be me” lol but who knows maybe I’ll give it a go when summer comes around (although 5am… man I dunno about that 😂).
Aw this means so much, thank you!! And you definitely don’t have to get up at 5, but hopefully you took something away from this regardless!
As a mum, I understand the struggle. My alarm is a 4 year old, but when you have to get up that wayeveryday, my mornings are much easier as more time to get me and her ready for the day 🌸 and the 3pm crash is real, a good snack should help, or send you into a nap haha😅 thank you for sharing your experience! Loved this
Wowww I’m always in awe of mums and everything you do!! Love that your alarm is a 4 year old 😂😂
@@scrivspo 😂
Watching this two weeks late (oopsies! Watching marathon time!)
Loved this! Bleeping google was so considerate but comedy gold too
Waking up early when it’s cold and you don’t *have* to is soooo hard!
PS I’m grateful for YOU!
I’m so grateful for YOU 😭❤️ thanks for watching my videos angel!! Xx
i loooooove your productive vlogs. makes me want to get up earlier and do shit!
Yayyyy that means so much!!
I wake up at 6am when I have morning court days - now you're motivating me to keep this even when I'm only heading to the office for work! Baby steps. I love how you cursed the the world when your alarm started ringing at 5am. This is what we call a realistic reaction 🤣 also, does the ice roller help you wake up in the morning?
Ice rollers definitely do help!! But they’re absolutely not necessary. Splashing your fave with cold water or even an ice cube would do the same thing! They’re just trendy lol
Morning Harriet happy Monday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter
Thank you Edward!!
@scrivspo your welcome sending you hugs ❤️ 🤗
Wake up besties our queen has POSTED 🤩
Omgggg love you
I have to start getting up super early for an early class in a few weeks and this is giving me hope that it won't be the end of me lol
Love the video! :)
You can do it!! Make it your fun productive early morning ❤️
Laundry is the worst because it never ends! lol!
I knowww 😭😭
i cant describe the weird feeling of hearing my own alarm and washing machine noises in a video
Omg it’s a wig out isn’t it
This video has literally made me feel so productive, I live in New Zealand and it’s like 1 degree and pitch black in the mornings so it’s impossible to get motivated but I neeeed to get my shit together and this is helping 😂
Ughhh it’s so dark and cold I feel you. It’s literally so hard to get out of bed in the winter 😭
You’re smashing it - thanks for another great video. X
Ps as a fellow hashbrown loving girl - if u have a toastie machine / sandwich press, you can cook them in there from frozen in less than 5 mins, it’s a game changer
Omg this sounds incredible. We don’t have a sandwich press but I might have to get one for this purpose lol
@@scrivspoair fryers make the hash brown a bit quicker too!!
or a toaster!!
Good on you for keeping this up for a week! I wake up between 6:30 and 7:00 everyday and that's plenty early for me 😅
Yeah that’s early enough for me too 😂😂
Not me watching this at 9.30 am in bed 🤭 Good job and lovely video again ❤
honestly LOVE this for you, watching youtube in bed in the morning is my fave hobby
I love how your laundry machine sings to you 🤣
Its iconic honestly
I appreciate you bleeping out “hey Google” so much 😂
Hahaha I was editing it and my google kept going off and it was a nightmare. Couldn’t put you guys through that!!
sky hauuul 💁♀lmao I can't
I've been thinking about starting my days earlier too, but probably not 5am
7am sounds like a good compromise
I agree, I think 7 is perfect!
The zoomies thoughhh 😂❤
Hehehe
i can’t with the sky haul lmao
Lmao I’m so glad you enjoyed that bit
I have to get up at 5 am to get to work and I’d love to have as nice a routine as yours here! I just can’t wake up any earlier haha. I’ll aim for the weekends instead :,)
wow i'm seriously so impressed that you do this throughout the week for work, you honestly deserve an award hahaha!!
I used to do this id get up and workout at 5am it was the best feeling but now that I'm a nightshift worker its so difficult to bring myself to do literally anything when I wake up because of how tired I am nowadays. I'm wanting to try to get back into the gym I just have to get there first lol.
Ohhh my gosh night shifts must be so so tough 😭 it’s not surprising you don’t have energy!! Give yourself some grace! Xx
lol! I literally read Twilight like once at year at least. 😅😅😅
Honestly same
i love new moon
The night routine has helped me so much! Maybe I’ll make a night routine video one day, but can’t recommend a sleep meditation enough. Changed the game for me!!
@@scrivspo yes that would be a good idea!! i used to do a stretch routine before i went to bed every night i think i did it almost a month and it was great but now i go to bed so late im not bothered to do it,, i really need to try and get into it again
Damn, I was in pain watching you, so I can only imagine how you felt. 😟 I am more the 'go to bed at 5am' kind of gal, and the world will have to pry that from my cold, dead hands. My vampire ass would have been deceased. 🧛♀️ ⚰️ 😂😂😂 You get all the gold stars. Mad respect. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hahahahaha this is the best comment ever
My washing machine plays the same little tune. ❤ I love it. It makes me happy everytime I hear it. Lol
Hahaha it’s sooo cute but also so annoying sometimes omg, it goes on FOREVERRRR
The washer isn't too bad but my dryer is the one that goes on forever!
Was literally just talking to my boyfriend about getting up early. When i go to the office i have to be up at 6am but on the days i work from home im lucky if i roll out of bed before 8am. So im thinking maybe on my work from home days i should get up at 6-6.30am, so that it's easier on office days to get up. Thanks for doing this video has definitely inspired me ❤❤❤
That sounds like a really good idea!! And you can have your WFH mornings be super wholesome and have lots of time to yourself before the day starts ❤️
currently watching this at 5am 😭
Honestly love this for you
30 minutes?? Let me get a snack and enjoy this
Hehehe yessss
I need to know what that diffuser thing is next to your bed, is it a scent diffuser or a humidifier? If so, do you like it and what is the brand?
It’s a humidifier to help me with the dryness I deal with in winter, especially my throat and lips!! It’s definitely helped me, it doesn’t totally solve the problem but it eases if for sure. You can put scented drops in it but I don’t bother. It’s the Able Vapourmist humidifier xx
Hi so quick question, what lamp do you use on your bedside table? because i'm looking for a good lamp i can connect with my phone :)
The lamp doesn’t actually matter bc I use a smart bulb! Mine’s by the brand Mirabella but I’ve heard great things about Phillips too!!
Loved the video Harriet! Does your boyfriend always wake up earlier? I noticed he wasn’t in bed!
He was actually away the week I filmed this! He definitely doesn’t get up at 5 😂
Ignore me, you mentioned where he was later in the vlog!
where did you get your couch!! it’s so cute!
It’s so cute isn’t it! It’s from Lounge Lovers, but we’re actually going to get a new one because it’s really not comfortable 😭 so sad bc I love it so much
Also, which CZcamsrs do you watch?! Need something to pass the time in between your uploads and you’ve got good taste!
My friend Beth Gould is defs one of my faves, love Tara Michelle for chill vibes, Mia Maples, honestly that’s pretty much it atm 😭 finding CZcams so dry right now!!!
Gratitude:
I’m grateful for your advice on my comment last week ❤❤❤ You mentioned planning for low energy and high energy days and for some reason that clicked for me!! I’m so happy to say that I was able to stick to my plan for this week and can’t wait to keep it up for the whole month.
Also, I’m grateful for finding decaf breakfast tea. I didn’t realise how much it was affecting me until I stopped having caffeinated tea. Last week accidentally had a cup of caffeinated tea and got a lip twitch. Never again.
Omg I’m so so happy that helped! A subscriber fave me that advice and it clicked for me, so I’m happy it clicked for you too. Also I FEEL you with caffeine, I truly can’t handle it anymore at all. Happy you found decaf tea you love ❤️
I know you live with your boyfriend, but do you guys share a bedroom? Was he out of town that week or you guys have two bedrooms? My bf and I think having two separate rooms would be dreaaamyy (we still live with our respective parents haha!)
He was out of town this week! We do share a bedroom 🥰 our apartment is pretty small hahaha so no space for seperate rooms xx
☀️☀️☀️
💖💖💖
I'm not even all the way through this video but I had to comment to say "rise and grind" made me laugh out loud! Love the editing on this one!
Hahaha thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed!
actually triggered by the google alarm tf
I actually got so traumatised editing hahaha
Ethan not around this vlog?
I believe I mentioned it in the video but he was overseas the week I filmed this! ❤️
Are you still single😢😢😢
No I’ve been with ethan for 6 years!
@@scrivspo ethan is name of hydrocarbon
Methane, Ethan
this is such a great video !! 🤍🤍
i’ve had way too much stress and no motivation this last week because i’m moving appartements and it’s so overwhelming and this reminded me about how much beauty there is in a routine and in ordinary tasks
i’m not gonna start waking up at 5am since i’m very much a night owl but i will try getting back into some sort of a routine so thank you for the motivation🥰
I hope the move has gone well!! Be kind to yourself, it’s sooo hard to be consistent with anything when you have to move. It took me like a month to find a routine when we moved to Melbourne. But I hope you can build one that works for you queen ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Harriet 🙂
🔥🫒 🕔 Fair play to you, I couldn't do what you are doing. Hash browns are yummy. Can you put one in the oven for me please?
Sunrise 🌅 🥳. Your apartment has amazing sunrise views. ☀️ You are a lovely lady, of course I'm going to watch your channel ✅️. This was a great video (but then they all are).
thank you so much alan! appreciate your support!!
