The way you start your day can have a massive impact on how the rest of the day goes for you. If you start it lethargic, snoozing your alarm, and dragging your feet, you can pretty much guarantee that the rest of your day will go the same way. Here, you’ll find 4 awesome ways to start your day off right. Take a look and you’ll take control of the day ahead of you.
Get Hydrated As Soon As Your Feet Touch The Floor Set yourself up for your morning the night before by leaving a pint of fresh water by your bed. Drink it as soon as you get up. Not only will this wake you up and help you to rehydrate after a night of sleep, it’ll kickstart your good habits for the day ahead.
Make Your Bed Making your bed will give you a feeling of accomplishment before the day has even begun. It sounds too simple to work, but it’s one of the best things you can do to start off a series of wins for the day.
Get Some Exercise Whether you choose to run, pilates, or swim doesn’t matter. What matters is that you get your heart rate up a little and you enjoy it. This warms up your body, including your brain, and helps you to prepare yourself for whatever the day throws at you.
Fuel Your Body Right The whole ‘breakfast is the most important meal of the day’ thing is a myth. However, fueling your body right with lots of micronutrients is the perfect way to start the day, so how about a cold pressed juice?
