Developing A Healty Morning Habit
Going to bed and waking up with energy to face the day is very important to mental health. Exercise and breakfast in the morning will make you build a good foundation and prepare one for the day’s activities ahead. Here are some guidelines that will help create the morning plan that will make you come to work with energy and your mind set:
Wake Up Intentionally
Instead of being startled to a noisy alarm stop, try using a soft alarm that will wake slowly. You can also get up half an hour before the required time in order not to be in a hurry. If you have to get up to fulfill an obligation, just use the snooze button and get out of bed at the desired wake up time.
Hydrate Immediately
In the morning, have a big glass of water to wash away toxins in your body after you have slept the night through. It should also be noted that mild dehydrated is associated with worse mood, reduced concentration, and energy. Bring water to the bedroom and place a glass of it right on the nightstand so you drink it as soon as you wake up.
Move Your Body
Get at least 10-15 minutes active in the morning after waking up and can do stretches, yoga, or exercise. Exercising in the morning wakes up your muscles, oxygenates the brain, releases happy hormones and gives you the energy you need to face the day. Cleaning also involves opening the blinds/curtains you while exercising to also as well get some natural light.
Practice Gratitude
Spend 2-3 minutes in an Attitude of Gratitude, committing on paper that you are grateful for at least three things. This helps change your disposition in the morning and give you a way to remember the things you are grateful for. Long-term such changes can have a deep positive impact on the subject’s quality of life and other aspects of his life.
Do Some Journaling
Capture whatever comes to mind or concerns you have, plans, intentions, or expectations for the day with free writing for 5-10 minutes with a cup of coffee or tea in the morning. This assist in removing any form of disturbance in the mind and brings about a good spirit as you proceed with the day.
Eat a Nutritious Breakfast
Start your day right by having a nutritious breakfast that gives you slow-releasing energy in the form of protein, carbs and even fats. Thus, some of the best breakfasts include eggs, oatmeal, fruits and nuts on yogurt, or whole grain avocado toast.
Practice Affirmations
In front of a mirror, spend two to three minutes some time while clinking positive ideas to yourself, and saying positive things to yourself about yourself and your abilities. This can work wonders for the morale in the morning to start the day with a lot of confidence.
Listen to Uplifting Media
Endure at least 10 minutes of a motivational or encouraging podcast, audiobook, YouTube video, or favorite positive song in your morning practice. Set aside between a quarter and a half hour to fuel your mind with positivity feed.
Schedule Quiet Time
Provide at least 15- 30 minutes of time before getting to work where you can slowly enjoy the coffee or breakfast and reading, stretching lightly or even meditating. This offers a kind of a buffer that that helps in avoiding that feeling of hurry.
Design Your Unique Routine
It is clearly pointing to the fact that not every morning routine will look like this. Think about the things that make you passionate and give you a sense of inner most peace. Then link together 5-6 of such mini practices into your own efficient morning routine.
Be Consistent
Developing a chain of practices to a concern is time-consuming given the fact that new habits do not come easy. It is recommended that the morning routine should be performed for a minimum of thirty one days to make it a standardized pattern. You will observe overall positive impact on the mental health after a while as the changes start compounding.
There is no doubt that morning routines do entail a certain amount of what we call ‘time and effort’, or time cost, as seen at the beginning of the chapter. But the positives you get back in return in form of enhanced productivity, attentiveness, appreciation, and meaning in your day are immeasurable. However, the practice of ‘CHILLING YOUR BRAIN FIRST’ is time and energy conserving while at the same time creating and positioning the whole day for joy and goal achievement. Waking up each morning with a plan is an important way to find out how a well-planned morning can change your life.
