Boost your productivity and feel great by incorporating these ideas into your daily routine.
1. Stretch
Setting aside some time in the morning to stretch wakes up your whole body, including your bones, joints and mind. Relieve some tension and relax a bit before preparing for the day, you’ll feel much better for it.
2. Drink some water
This is one of the most important things you should do in the morning. Having a glass or two of water is an excellent way to wake yourself up and boot-up your metabolism – stay hydrated.
3. Talk to yourself in the mirror
Guide yourself to productive, happy and healthy thinking by saying positive affirmations aloud or in your head – you got this, this day is yours.
4. Avoid social media
Unless you’re going to use it for inspiration, avoid social media. Instagram, Facebook and the like kill productivity and aren’t always the most positive things to be looking at first thing in the morning.
5. Set goals for the day
Set yourself some simple, realistic goals. These will motivate you throughout the day and help you to be proactive. Learn to congratulate yourself when you complete a goal; this will work wonders on your confidence to do even bigger, greater things next time.
