H e l l o K Y F A M !
You can’t disagree with me here…There is nothing I
enjoy more than a long and cozy morning routine, to set my day off on the right
foot.
For mornings to be productive, peaceful and enjoyable, there are a few things we
need to stop doing as soon as you wake up.
1. YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE
The most popular life hack gets to go first. If you
haven’t heard that snoozing is bad for you – where have you been?
In all seriousness and first things first, STOP
hitting that snooze button every morning.
As much as we enjoy that extra ten minutes of sleep,
it is actually just making our body and mind more tired.
Get up the moment your alarm rings and don’t look
back.
2. CHECK WORK EMAIL/Social
media.
No one needs your
attention at 6 in the morning, especially your work.
There is absolutely no reason why you should dive
into work before you’ve even had your meal.
Check your work email when your workday starts and
not a minute sooner.
If you are anticipating an important mail, hold in
till when you start for work. I too struggle with this – but my mood and focus
is so much better if I stay away from my inbox in the morning.
Coming to social media it is a swamp that will lag
your schedule. You get scrolling and don’t realise that you have been there for
20-30 minutes.
3 . N O T M A K I N G Y O U R B E D
Leaving a messy bed and coming home to
an unpleasant room is not the best mood lifter. Making your bed in the morning
is a small win and a great way to start our day right.
4. NOT EATING A HEALTHY
BREAKFAST
Make sure your breakfast includes good protein,
fiber, and fat.
Breakfasts like flavored yogurts, cereals,
croissants, and other sugary breakfast options will just make you crash an hour
later which is no good.
A nutritious and filling breakfast will help
balance your blood sugar levels and make you feel fuller for longer.
If you’re one of those people who never eat
breakfast and can make it until lunch – I challenge you to try
filling your body up with nourishing foods to see if you feel
more balanced and satisfied during the day.
5. HAVING YOUR COFFEE FIRST
THING
Instead of grabbing your coffee first thing, try
drinking at least 2 glasses of water to replenish your sleepy body.
6. NOT WASHING YOUR FACE
I don’t know how people can start their day without
washing their face.
This is the first thing I do in the morning – I
splash my face with as cold water as possible.
The cold water will jhuzh your system and help wake
you up.
Plus, it feels totally refreshing.
7. NOT LETTING THE SUN/AIr IN
You need daylight, girl.
Getting ready for the day in the dark is not a good
idea.
We need that sunshine and daylight to kick our
circadian clock into gear.
Fresh air will do you good. Always.
If you don’t have time to go for a quick walk, open
your window to let the fresh air in or sit on your balcony and enjoy your
morning coffee.
8. making DECISIONS.
Decisions are to
be made the night before.
When you wake up you will most likely feel groggy
and foggy (sounds like dwarfs’ names) and it’s best if you don’t
have to decide our outfit and other things early up in the day. So decide everything
and be ready. This way you are waking up relaxed and not stressed out already.
"EVERY MORNING YOU GET TO CHOOSE – HOW YOUR DAY, WEEK, MONTH AND LIFE WILL BE SHAPED. AND THAT’S AN EXTRAORDINARY POWER WE ALL HAVE."
Until next time
Polý agape (lots of love) and stay cheerful :)
