One of the secrets of having a good and healthy lifestyle is by starting the day right. How do we avoid the negativity and grumpiness the whole day? It’s by having a positive mind and energetic character in the morning.
For this article, I decided to write something that would inspire you make every day better.
What do you usually when you wake up in the morning?
Here are some ideas you could do first:
Pray.
You shouldn’t be standing up immediately after you open your eyes. Take a little time to lay down as your system adjusts to work in a brand new day. For that instance, you may use it in praying and giving thanks to God for the chance to see world’s beauty again. It would be good too to read one Bible verse which could help in giving you a motivation and wisdom in going through the day.
Make your bed.
There’s something productive making your bed in the morning. Fixing up where you slept and be able to see your room organized is an indication that you’re ready to fight for the day.
Hygiene essentials.
If you’re done with your room, to set things right with yourself. It is necessary to wash your face in the morning to remove the oil and also, before doing this, fix your hair first so it won’t meddle. Brush your teeth and do all the things you have to do there. Make sure to come out fresh and ready.
Drink a glass of water.
Before making your coffee or tea, make sure to drink a glass of water first. It has a lot of health benefits and it is really needed in your body especially for good digestion. In my case, I used to hate this part because it makes me feel bloated but now I’m used to it.
Make a coffee or tea.
Between the two, tea is healthier. But as a coffee lover, maybe a cup of coffee doesn’t hurt a lot. As we always say, everything is good but in moderation. Your coffee or tea time in the morning is important so you would have a moment to think about what you will for the rest of the day.
Write your to-do list.
In this world where everything can easily become a chaos, make sure to jot down some notes especially your to-do list. Aside from it keeps you organized regarding with time, it also makes you productive. It isn’t necessary that you will finish all the things you’ve written down, it’s just a manner of being aware of your responsibilities and to inspire you in managing your time better.
Eat breakfast.
Eat your breakfast like a king – it means that whatever food that there is, you should eat, and you should eat a lot. Some people skip breakfast because they said it’s a waste of resources but I totally disagree. This is a must, it gives you energy for the rest of the day and motivates you to do all your tasks.
Have a 10-minute exercise.
Don’t forget your heart and body health. Spare ten minutes in making physical activities. If you have a yoga mat, you can follow plans and exercise routines from the internet or you can also make a combination of your own where you can feel more comfortable. Releasing sweat is good to remove the toxins out of your body. You could also walk or jog around the neighborhood – a simple thing but could give you major benefits for your heart, muscles, and bones.
Prioritize yourself.
Most importantly, remember your goals, dreams, and aspirations. Let go of the worries you had yesterday because today is another chance to be better and to learn from the mistakes of your past. Beautiful things are waiting for you. Whatever you feel is valid so make also some time to contemplate about yourself and prioritize what your heart and mind wants to do.
