A new day starts with activities after you wake up and they can affect your mood for the whole day if you do bad morning habits. Let's learn about good morning habits to have a good day.
1. Press the alarm snooze button
This is a common morning bad habit of many people when the first alarm bell of the day rings. It is thought that sleeping another 5, 10 or 15 minutes will give the body more energy. However, this action makes the body become more procrastinated and tired and can even make you oversleep leading to delay in work. Therefore, it is best to wake up and get out of bed the first time the bell rings.
2. Waking up in the dark
It will be comfortable and attractive to wake up in the dark, but sunlight has the effect of waking up the body and setting the biological clock for yourself. This helps fight infections and leaves you feeling energized for the day. In addition, sunlight also helps the body produce vitamin D, think clearly and work more efficiently. It may even make you feel happier. So, confidently open the curtains and welcome the new day.
3. Oversleeping
Sometimes this routine can put you at ease, because you don't get enough sleep. However, to be best for your body, you should keep your body on a regular sleep cycle by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day and try to do it even on weekends.
4. Getting up out of bed too quickly and suddenly
When the body has spent a night in a lying position and suddenly getting up will cause gravity to push a lot of blood down the legs, which can cause blood pressure to drop suddenly and make you feel a little dizzy or even faint faint. Therefore, the best way to balance your body is to slowly sit up and stop at the edge of the bed to give your body a few seconds to get used to the idea, especially if you've noticed lightheadedness before. . This is one way to prevent yourself from a serious fall.
5. Skip morning exercise
Regular exercise helps with sleep, weight, heart rate and mood and this is a good morning habit practiced by many people. You're more likely to stick with exercise if you do it in the first place. This is very beneficial for weight maintenance and nutrient control during the day. To keep things smooth and easy, you should plan and prepare your outfit the night before.
6. Cut down on morning coffee
If you have a habit of drinking coffee in the morning and are eliminating this habit, it may make the body feel a little dizzy. In addition, some other typical symptoms when starting to cut back on caffeine such as fatigue, severe headache, nausea, and flu-like symptoms can also occur. We can limit these adverse reactions by gradually reducing our daily coffee intake, rather than eliminating it abruptly.
7. Ignore oral hygiene habits
After a long night's sleep, on each tooth will form a sticky film and that is the premise for tartar formation if you do not brush to remove it. The proof is that after a period of not cleaning your teeth in the morning, the plaque will gradually accumulate and harden to form tartar. At this point, you can't clean them yourself, you need to go to the dental clinic for the help of a dentist and specialized equipment. If plaque and tartar persist for too long, they can lead to swelling or inflammation of the gums, tooth decay, bad breath, periodontal disease and, more seriously, tooth loss.
8. Brush your teeth right after drinking coffee
Coffee contains a certain amount of acid, so you really shouldn't brush right after any acidic food or drink. Acid weakens tooth enamel, and brushing too soon can wear away your enamel. Therefore, simply brush your teeth first or wait 30 to 60 minutes for the acid to dissolve from your teeth.
9. Check your email as soon as you wake up
If you check your digital devices, email and social media right after waking up can cause stress and anxiety. For example, you may feel pressured at the start of your day if you check your email first and the feeling of heaviness will follow you throughout the day. Take some time in the morning to kickstart your day with exercise to warm up, clean up and enjoy a breakfast before connecting to digital media like email. It can feel difficult at first, but it can make you happier and can even help you get more done in the long run.
10. Starting a new day without a plan
If you start your day without thinking about what you need to do and why you're doing it, you could lose sight of what you're trying to achieve and the meaning of your life. Whether it's work, family or lifestyle, it's important to figure out what's most important to you and make sure the things you do every day help you get there. Therefore, it is important to set priorities, make lists and check your progress daily.
11. Solve problems of the day
When you have a plan to deal with the problems of the day, try to complete it and take a moment to be grateful for the good things in life. People who do this are generally happier, healthier, and more satisfied in their relationships, especially than those who focus on nostalgia. You can record the things that happened by writing them down in a journal or just list them in your head and most importantly, fulfill your intentions as best you can.
12. Make time for quiet
If your day is filled with work and noise, the morning is a great time to clear your mind with a few minutes of meditation. You can simply focus on your breathing and try to let go of the thoughts that pop into your head. Exercise can lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and alleviate conditions including: anxiety, pain, high blood pressure, insomnia, and migraines.
13. Skipping breakfast
People who eat breakfast regularly tend to think more quickly and have less body fat, so they have a lower risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. They also exercise more often and eat healthier. So enjoying a healthy breakfast is an easy and fun way to start your day off right.
14. Eat sweet foods
Donuts and other pastries made from white flour have low nutritional content and are eliminated from the body quickly. That can make you more tired, irritable, and hungry. Protein from eggs or cottage cheese and carbohydrates with more fiber and nutrients like oatmeal or other whole grains, fruits and vegetables take longer to digest, satisfy hunger and provide a steady source of slow energy.
15. Don't Use Sunscreen
Sunscreen has a great effect to help protect the skin against cancer caused by UV rays when you go out in the sun and even when it's cloudy. For sunscreen to be most effective, you should apply it 15 minutes before going outside to give your skin time to absorb. After 2 hours from the last application, you need to reapply if you continue to be in the sun or sweat a lot or go swimming.
