Morning habits that can make your survival smoother! Part 2!
The Day is recognized by the Morning you lead!
We can all agree that having more tips and tricks in our survival kit can only be more useful and practical.. so why don’t we start at the beginning, the beginning of the day that is - the morning!
The habits we tend to practice every morning as a ritual of how we start the day, can define the outcome of our day, the productivity, the emotional state of ourselves, the personal progress. So here we give you again, The second part of habits you should keep in mind every morning in order to set a more productive day ahead. Trust us, its applicable everywhere , even in Bulgaria.
Not making the bed
Even though this is a super quick and easy task you can do every morning, a lot of us skip on it. Many people think that making their bed is pointless – you are just gonna go back in it later, so why waist your time making it? How is going to see it anyway?
Well even so, making your bed can actually set you up for success. By making your bed every morning, you’re completing a healthy ritual that will carry on into your day. You’ll be more productive and motivated to tackle the day ahead!
Eating empty carbs and sugar for breakfast
Remember back in school when they used to say that breakfast was the most important meal of the day? Well, they were right. Eating a healthy breakfast is a great way to set yourself up for the day ahead. While a croissant or a doughnut is easy to eat on the go, these sugar filled treats will give you energy that doesn’t last very long at all. Once your blood sugar crashes, you’ll be left feeling even more tired then you did before you ate, instead opt for a protein-rich breakfast. This will keep you fuller for longer and, it’ll give you long-lasting energy to keep you productive and focused all day long!
Leaving the curtains closed
Bright light in the morning isn’t always welcomed, plus you need to give your tired eyes some time to adjust, right?! Believe it or not, bringing a little light in your room in the morning is a great way to wake yourself up.
According to life coach Kirkland Shave, natural sunlight releases cortisol in the body, which helps you concentrate and make smart decisions throughout the day. If you choose to get ready for your day in darkness, your body’s inner clock will get confused and assume its still night-time, this means your brain will stay in sleep mode, leaving you feel sluggish for the rest of your morning and even into the afternoon.
Put Yourself Together
Putting time and effort into your appearance helps build self-confidence. When you feel “put together,” it is one less thing to worry about throughout your day.
So, shower, wash your face, brush your teeth, floss, comb your hair, apply lotion/oil, dress to impress, and apply any other hygiene/grooming habits that make you feel good about yourself. This may involve picking out your clothes the night before (especially if you are short on time in the morning) or ironing your clothes—whatever makes you feel like you are taking care of your health, looking presentable, and feeling confident.
