8 Ways To Kickstart Your Day

January 5, 2022 by Alison Leave a Comment

The average person wakes up every day and immediately hits the snooze button. But, unfortunately, they start their morning off on the wrong foot by procrastinating on getting out of bed.

To help ensure that you don’t waste your mornings away, 

Check Out These 8 Ways To Kickstart Your Day:

  • Eat a Healthy Breakfast

A healthy breakfast gives you energy for the rest of the day. It also gets your metabolism started, which will assist with weight loss goals.

  • Drink Tea

Coffee is proven to be an effective cognitive enhancer. However, too much coffee can result in negative side effects. Therefore, get the energy you need with high caffeine tea to kickstart your morning.

  • Exercise

Working out in the morning is an effective way to keep your stress levels low throughout the day. It releases endorphins that make you feel good, and it also provides you with more energy later on.

  • Meditate

Meditation has proven mental benefits, including improving focus and clarity. Try meditating for 10 minutes each morning before starting your daily routine.

  • Journal

A lot of people think that writing down their goals every day will only distract them from achieving those goals; however, research shows journaling can improve the quality of sleep, increase self-awareness, and reduce stress.

  • Warm Water With Lemon Juice!

Warm water with some lemon or lime juice added to it doesn’t just make for a refreshing drink; It also wakes up your whole body because of its high levels of vitamin C (lemon) and limonin (lime).

  • Go To The Gym

One of the best ways to kickstart your day is by working out. Not only will it improve your focus throughout the day, but you’ll have more energy for tackling big projects.

  • Make Sure To Keep A Stable Sleep Schedule!

Try not to stay up too late or wake up too early because then your body’s natural rhythm won’t be at its peak during waking hours. The same goes for napping throughout the day- try avoiding if possible as this can disturb your routine. However, short 20-minute naps have been found to improve memory and cognitive function.

In Conclusion

All of these things can be done independently and don’t need to be simultaneous. The effects will not happen immediately, but over time as good habits are introduced, and old ones fade away. Don’t try for too much, too fast- it may lead to burnout. Instead, start small and practice each healthy habit for a few days before moving on to another one.

If drinking water is difficult, start with putting lemon juice in room temperature water. If getting up early is problematic, set your alarm ten minutes earlier than you normally would and get up when it goes off.

Each morning, take some time to sit down with a notebook or even just on a piece of paper, write what you want from your day. Sometimes it can help to get this thought out of your head and into something that you can look at throughout the day.
