7 Simply Steps To Start Your Day

Your morning routine should influence how you will feel throughout the day.

Do not continuously pressing the snooze button again and again.

You will end up, the last person to wake up, late and rushing frantically.

You may not be a ‘morning’ person but can become one if you are willing to change your morning ritual when you wake up.

Below are some tips to focus on improving your feeling or mood from the moment you awake.

1. Alarm clock
Place your alarm clock a bit further away from your reach so that you need to stretch out or even get up to reach it.

Any stretching movement triggers the wake up mechanism in your brain.

Set your alarm clock 15 minute early, this way you will always be waking up on time.

2.When you wake up
Do not just rush out of your bed.

To get your body ready, from your motionless slumber to the motions of moving transition, do a light stretches and flexes once you are out of bed.

3.Take a deep breath
Breathing properly is important, it control the functions of your body into a state of relaxation.

There is always a sense of anxiety ahead in a stressful day and sometimes you are far from relaxed when you get up.

4.Surroundings
Your surroundings can have an immediate effect on your mood from the moment you wake up.

Waking up surrounded by clutters will not get you off to a right start.

Keep your bedroom neat and as clutter free as possible, pack everything away before you go to bed.

Pay attention to your bedroom decor, choose certain, bedroom colours, mattress and pillows that uplifts you when you wakes up in the morning.

You can have some green plants in your bedroom too.

A bit of greenery can do wonders to enhance your mood and positivity.

5.Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

It is responsible for replacing your liver glycogen that helps you stay focused and remain switched on in the morning.

Select your breakfast carefully.

Do not take sugary breakfast cereals, they gives you quick fix that wears off rapidly.

Eat some combination of protein with carbohydrate to help maintain your alertness throughout the morning.

If you worry that you might feel hungry before you reached to work, consider eating part of your breakfast at home and packed the remainder to have at work.

6.Avoid caffeine
Drinking coffee dehydrate you.

Your body has gone several hours without fluid, what you need is a proper re-hydrating drink.

Take freshly squeezed orange juice or a cup of warm water with a touch of lemon and honey is also a good way to start the day.

Add some ginger to boost your circulatory system.

7.Exercising in the morning

We are not talking about running the full mile or distance.

It is just some activities to increase your body temperature and kick start your metabolism and enzyme activities.

You can do on the spot jogging or just doing a few basic stretches.

If you are thinking of something more energetic in the morning, then ensure that you have a thorough warmed-up.

The above simple changes to your morning ritual will slowly become a habit and second nature to you.

Bleary eyed and groggy mornings will soon be a distant past.
