5 Morning Habits To Start Your Day Right

If you want to have a productive and creative day ahead, your morning shouldn’t feel like a mindless routine of showering, brushing your teeth, and rushing off to work. Here are 5 healthy morning habits to ensure you have a better day. 

1. Make your bed

First things first, make your bed. It may sound simple but actually, doing this little task first thing in the morning will give you a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. And that’s a great way to start the day!

2. Hydrate

Instead of having coffee as soon as you wake up, make it a habit to have a large glass of water before eating or drinking anything else. You’ll be surprised at how energized you’ll feel and your body will thank you for it.

3. Stretch

After a long night of sleep, it’s a good idea to do some stretches to loosen up your muscles. Not to mention, this will improve your blood circulation and overall well-being. Even 5 minutes of stretching will do wonders. But if you’re feeling crazy, try throwing in a whole workout and see how energized that makes you feel!

4. Set the tone for the day

Set aside a few minutes in the morning to focus on your breathing or meditate. Meditation is a great way to learn to control the mind and thoughts, leading to more focus throughout the day. 

5. Be grateful

You are the only one who can set your mood for the day. Therefore, counting your blessings instead of troubles will help you start the day off in a better mood. One way you could do this is to journal, e.g., list 3 things you are grateful for every morning. Saying some positive affirmations would be great too while you’re at it!
