Hello Beautiful Souls,
There is nothing I love more than a great start to my morning; those mornings when you can just jump out of bed and seize the day. The problem is those do not happen everyday, and I’m sure you know what I mean. Wouldn’t it be great if every morning was like that though? Well, I may have the tips and tricks for you to supercharge your morning routine.
As we move into a new routine for the new year or new semester, our morning rituals may be impacted from our holiday breaks. Starting the morning off on the right foot effects how the rest of your day will go. We all know what happens when we wake up and something negative happens, right? The day seems to tumble down from there. That is why I am sharing my favorite morning rituals with you. Starting everyday with a fresh and positive outlook sets the whole day up for greatness.
6 Ways to Supercharge Your Morning:
Get enough sleep: As much as we would all love getting a solid 8 hours, it is not always possible with a busy schedule. Although you may lead a busy life, sleep is important to being able to continue daily activities adequately. Try to get at least 7 hours a night. Getting enough sleep is not only important to your mental health, but it is also important to your physical health.
Drink tea: Starting your day with some tea is great for many reasons; first, you get a head start on your water requirements for the day. You may also choose to drink a caffeinated tea that will boost your energy. Tea’s are really good for you too! Tea is natural and it is better than a sugary latte (which I still love). When I wake up and start checking my emails and schedule for the day, I like to drink some tea.
Wash your face (& moisturize): Washing your face is key to keeping beautiful and healthy looking skin, it will also make your skin feel refreshed each morning. Moisturizing is super important during the cold winter months, the wind can be brutal and you want to protect that gorgeous skin of yours.
Eat breakfast: The most important meal of the day, right? It really is! Eating breakfast in the morning, even if it is small, will energize you for the rest of the morning. I use to skip breakfast and instead have a cup of coffee. Now that I have began to eat breakfast, I feel more energy throughout my morning.
Check the biggest thing off your to-do list: Start your list of to do’s early, and start with the biggest task on the list. Once you finish the biggest task, you will be able accomplish the smaller tasks much quicker. My days are most productive when I am able to start early and check important things of my list.
Listen to a powerful playlist: When I am getting ready in the morning I love to throw on my favorite playlist to get my energy flowing. I have different playlists for different moods. When I am working on homework or work stuff, I may listen to a more mellow playlist. In the morning, I like to listen to either a dance/pop music playlist or an alternative playlist (Coldplay, American Authors, etc.).
Each morning you wake up you have a choice on how the day will go, and that decision is up to you. It starts when the alarm sounds, are you going to keep snoozing or wake up and attack the day? Your life is your choice, what you do is up to you. Your mindset for the day starts as soon as you wake up. If you tell yourself the day is going to suck, it will. If you tell yourself it is going to be a great day, then that’s what it can be. The choice is yours!
