A new day starts with many different moods, some people are tired and moody, but there are also people who feel refreshed and excited to start everything. So how do we need to build a morning routine to get an energetic body? The following article will introduce readers to some good habits when waking up to have a healthy morning.
1. Wake up more actively
Actively waking up 10 minutes earlier than now will help you not have to rush in everything. A good assistant to do this is the clock or alarm application on your phone. Alarm ringtones are also one of the factors that determine your mood. Many people often think that choosing a bell that makes the listener "startle" will have a high wake-up effect, but the truth is quite the opposite. When you are falling asleep and suddenly an annoying bell rings in your ear, chances are you won't be very happy when you wake up and that leads to a heavy mood for a long day.
Instead update your alarm to a melodious or rhythmic instrumental tune or even a natural sound like a bird chirping. They will wake you up gently instead of waking you up suddenly from your dream.
2. Immerse yourself in the sunlight
Morning sunshine not only has the effect of lighting, but also helps you to be more awake after a night's sleep and regulates human circadian rhythms through stimulating the biological clock.
This is also the best natural source of vitamin D for the body, which helps improve mood and helps the production of Serotonin - a chemical in the brain that helps the body stay in a happy state.
3. Move your body
Exercising limbs in the morning after waking up helps reduce muscle tension and activate brain functions more flexible after an evening of rest. In addition, physical activities increase blood circulation throughout the body to help you improve heart health and have a new day full of vitality. Some activities to help you move in the morning such as:
Walk or jog in the city for about 15 minutes. Cycle to work or take the bus then get off an earlier stop and walk to work. Build a habit of practicing yoga at home in the morning Making yourself a small garden and tending them in the morning will help you have more fun and improve your physical health.
4. Enjoy a healthy breakfast
We all know that eating breakfast is good for health because it gives energy for the day. Starting the day with a well-balanced breakfast with protein-rich foods like eggs or plain yogurt is not only filling, but also a source of energy to start a productive school day. Ingredients such as grains, fruits, and vegetables also add important sources of nutrients to the body.
And don't forget to drink enough water. Combining drinking water with a cup of coffee or green tea will help you feel more alert and focused instead of drinking too quickly.
5. Do some housework
Housework is sometimes a fear of many people because sometimes they are not really enjoyable. But starting your day with a few simple tasks will help you feel productive and spark your motivation to tackle other tasks. Something as simple as making your bed, vacuuming or simply putting your clothes in the washing machine.
6. Practice sitting meditation
Although meditation can be done at any time of the day, starting in the morning is a good habit after waking up to help you clear your mind, think and plan for the day new. In addition, meditation is especially helpful for reducing stress and anxiety and building self-compassion. So it makes a big difference if you often feel anxious in the morning and create a negative mood for a new day.
7. Plan a new day
Every day we have so much to do. If you do not have a specific plan, you can miss some important things. Take a few minutes in the morning to jot down essential tasks like returning to the library with a book that is about to expire, editing reports to submit to your boss, and buying dinner. When everything is so carefully planned, it helps you prioritize your to-do list and easily manage it to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
8. Do not use your phone in the morning
Phone is considered an indispensable item in today's modern life of most people with many different utilities and often used from morning to night. However, to have a healthy morning, do not use the phone for two hours after waking up. Instead, we should experience other pleasures such as reading, watering plants, sipping hot tea or chatting with loved ones.
When you do this, you will feel that the past two hours have been meaningful instead of picking up the phone to surf the web or reply to messages. Putting aside the social conveniences of your smartphone will help you have your own time and space to feel, think and act for life.
It can be difficult to change your lifestyle but the important thing is that you need to be persistent and start with the simplest things. Maintaining a good morning routine after waking up will bring positive energy, contributing to life balance.
