Ever get up in the morning worried about occupied schedules, loads of work to finish, expecting a heavy traffic jam ahead, and catching up quotas and deadlines? Well, those are just common challenges that we’re facing every single day and can potentially ruin your entire day when mishandled.
The way you start the morning can eventually affect your whole day, not just your personality, it can weaken the quality of your work and on how you understand every little thing or situation throughout.
You can start your day in the best way as it could by following these healthy tips:
Say a little prayer: another form of meditation
Before jumping out of your bed, have a special moment with God, Allah, Buddah, the trees, the nature, or the Sun. Regardless of the beliefs you follow, There’s always a reason to be grateful for. The safe drive from home to work, the peaceful good night sleep, the gift of life, and the air we breathe, etc.
Acknowledging the Creator first thing in the morning is the highest form of gratitude. Having a sound spirit is having a sound mind. Morning devotion motivates, inspired, and gets you a clear direction on what to do in the next couple of hours.
Physical conditioning
A 10 to 20 minutes workout every morning is the best way to establish a healthy habit. Also, when you start to get your muscles moving, you are allowing the right energy to flow in your body. This will oppose the “manna habit” and that dragging sensation after waking up.
Get up and do the basic physical conditioning exercises such as:
- Stretching exercises
- Jumping jacks
- Leg squats
- Push-ups
- Jog in place
- Toe touches
- Air jump
Doing random morning exercise helps you feel energized and ready for the day activities. Sets you in a good mood, lower your blood pressure and less stress are also the outcome of morning exercise.
Prepare for a healthy breakfast
“Let your food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food” the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates said.
After uplifting your spirit and conditioned your physical strength, the next significant routine in the morning is fuelling up your stomach, Breakfast. The most secure and excellent way to stay healthy and fit is eating a self-prepared meal, particularly breakfast. In this way, you are 100% sure that the food is safe and healthy. And besides, it is a budget friendly practice.
Eggs (scrambled, hardboiled, sunny-side-up) or pancakes are some of the typical breakfast meals that are easy and safe to prepare especially when you are using an induction pan.
Moreover, you must include foods full of protein vitamins early morning to help you keep up with pile of workloads.
Create a “to-do” list
Write down your full priority lists of activities for the next hours. Organize your schedules and plan your goals, what to do first, what to do next and what will you do after, basically one at a time. Do it subsequently. In this way, you have cleared up your mind performing your tasks systematically.
Take away:
The best way to start with healthy morning routine is following a simple rule. It is known as the 21/90 formula. Study shows that it takes 21 consecutive days of doing the same routine to create a habit, and it takes 90 days of consistency to create a lifestyle.
I think it will motivate you if you monitor your progress because it is human nature to create positive emotion from outcomes.
