As a B-person, I find it hard to wake up in the morning. I mean to fully wake up, not simply hang around like a somnambul.:)
Since I don’t drink coffee at home, I found a good way to wake my body up: INTERNET! My theory goes that the informational “coffee” first switches my brain on, and then the brain sends impulses to body to start working. Somehow or rather, it works well.
Checking Internet (my blog, emails and Facebook) right after brushing my teeth gives a good start for the rest of the morning procedures and – interestingly! – does not disturb my morning meditation which I usually do before leaving for work. In fact, meditation does the second part of waky-waky: it breaths live and powers into me, but this is another story…
I wonder what helps YOU to wake up?
thanks,

What helps wake me up?
If I don’t set the alarm, through most of the year, the hot rays of the morning sun wake me up from my deep slumber
During the short winter (like now), when the sun is further south in the sky and its rays aren’t as hot, I dwell in dreamland for much longer… hehehe 
The birds!! They galvanize me into action… to grab my camera and rush to the balcony!
So beauty is always refreshing
u are like my husband, always into birds pics
I would love to wake up to my mom’s & brothers efforts to wake me up……i seriously love to just lie in there, even though I am awake, listening to my mom calling me to wake up in between her daily morning chores……….haha very strange na….
now however, i wake up to go to my office
…..mostly, with my iphone singing Suprabhatam 
Love MS Subbalakshmi’s voice …..Axinia, I dont know if u wud understand but do listen to this piece…to which most of Telugu households wake up…..

… a cup of green tea wakes me up, internet relaxes me.
U have been tagged Axinia
Love to see what u wud write
OMG; THIS TAG?? with plans?
thanks, i will do my best.
I guess it’s a sign of today’s person if he switches on
his computer first before a shower. So do I))) By the way,
the other day I made the same heart on capuccino for
my hubby (I’ll show you soon)))
you could make such a heart? wow, you are culinaric genious, my friend
Making those swirls in coffee is an art. Nice shot.
By the way, I posted an annoucement on my blog for an upcoming event. Maybe you’d like to check it out.

sleeping is not what i can do best but yes i enjoy it until the alarm clock rings. the wide blue seaview thru the balcony is the first thing i go to check out to feel the energy awakaning and the goodmorning. i realized that it s like a need for me to hav a gorgeous view at home. it makes a big dfference in the day~
a wide open sea view must be an awesome start of a day…hapy for you!
Bingo !! Yupiii ! So I am not the only one that finds this helpful in the morning . ( better still so I am not a gone case internet junky : ) !! ) Yes, Axinia , I do something similar . I have a shower, make my self a cup of good ol’ English Breakfast tea and switch on the PC and check my email accounts ( and blogs ) as I sip my tea . I then meditate after this and actually find it helps me meditate better if anything , otherwise I would probably be more in a cloudy sleepy mode still . ( Oh, forgot to mention also go out and water the plants first : )
PS : My wife thinks I’m nuts to do all this first !
hope you shared with her that you are not the only one
what did she say?
Well, I think she just smiled …can’t remember too well, have been without internet connection a few days now , and wow ! I noticed how dependent we have become on internet for everything ! Was suffering from serious withdraw syntoms : ) Luckily found a local library that has internet but not the same as having it at home …
in the morning i try to wake up i put the alarm almost half an hour before the time i should get up! ehehhe.. i’m lazy!
nice blog Axinia, im linking you in the Sahaj Blog of Milan!!
thanks, dear
you are welcome!
Waking up and driving to the yoga studio for my 7am practice is what wakes me up.
