When the alarm goes off at 6:30 in the morning, and all you want to do is hit the snooze button to snooze and go back to sleep, it's important to remember that how you start your day determines the tone of all the remaining hours. If you want to know how to start the day in a happy and healthy way, then continue reading the entire article. I guarantee that after following these simple steps, you will face the morning, and then the rest of the day, at cruising speed, feeling pleasantly fit and full of energy.
Steps
Step 1. Don't press the snooze button
When the alarm goes off, it irremediably disrupts your sleep pattern, and choosing to go back to bed and wake up again ten minutes later will only cause you to feel even more tired, which will last for the rest of the day. Your body creates patterns for everything, and as for sleep, once you wake up, your pattern will have been set.
Step 2. Take a shower as soon as you wake up
Taking a shower immediately after opening your eyes will allow your body to exit sleep mode and enter day mode. You'll be more awake, alert, and definitely fitter to start the day. It is also always advisable to clean our body first thing in the morning, so when you start to get dirty or sweaty, or have greasy hair, you will be awake again and ready to take another shower.
Step 3. Consider exercising in the morning
Many people enjoy waking up and going through their daily training schedule. Movement sends endorphins to the body so that positive energy starts flowing into your day right away. In order to keep fit and healthy, you need to exercise. But if you're not a morning person, or don't like the idea of working out so early, do at least some yoga or stretching. Both will prepare your body for the activities you will need to do next. Remember to shower after exercise, avoiding unpleasant body odors in the school or work environment.
Step 4. Choose an outfit that best represents your person and is not disrespectful to your body
While it is not clothing that defines us, it is important to consider how other people view us. When we dress without caring about our bodies and don't respect our limits as people, we are telling the world. “Hey, I don't care about myself. I don't respect my body”, and that's not the way to make a good impression.
Step 5. Eat a healthy breakfast
Breakfast is what fuels our body for the whole day and is the first thing we ingest in the morning. It's comparable to a morning first impression - if it's unhealthy, it'll impress you negatively. Breakfast will affect how your body works throughout the day, just as a first impression will affect how you are treated by someone until they get to know you better. Try to opt for whole grains and also get calcium and protein. A healthy person is one who feeds their body with what it needs. So avoid foods like junk food and ice cream, because to live your life to the best of your ability you need a body that works, and that functions well.
Step 6. Try not to rush
Set your alarm to have time to shower, get dressed, fix your hair, eat, or do whatever is necessary. During these phases, take some time to think positively about the day ahead. Remember, it will work if you make it work. If you think you have a horrible day ahead of you, the chances of it happening will increase. Be confident, people will respect you and you will have a chance to respect yourself.
Advice
- Remember, it's about your day. No matter what others tell you, this is your life, and it can start today. Today is the first day of the rest of your life, so use it to change it for the better. Reject your bad habits and replace them with new, positive ones. Develop stronger friendships, they can last a lifetime. And remember, above all, to love yourself, because you are you, and only you, and you cannot be healthy or fully love others if you don't love and respect yourself.
- Try walking to school or work if you can. Getting out of the house and using your muscles is great for a healthy start to the day. Not only will you get to know the surroundings better, you will be able to collect your thoughts and really reflect on the goals of your day.
- Try not to overdo the coffee in the morning. Drinks that contain caffeine only make you unstable and agitated. To be as calm and healthy as possible, choose a healthier drink, such as hot tea.
