The first 10 minutes after you wake up is the most influential time of your day, so it’s important to have a mindful routine and method in place to make sure your mind and body are happy from the start.
1. NO SNOOZE
Choose a time to wake up, and tell yourself that the snooze button isn’t an option.
2. STRETCH
Stretching in the morning has several health benefits, including muscle and joint flexibility, stress relief and improved circulation.
3. WATER
About 60% of your body is made of water and after sleeping 7-8 hours without water, your parched body is practically begging to be replenished. Drink a large glass as soon as you wake up (it’s best to add lemon juice to it, which helps to flush out toxins from sleeping).
4. BREAKFAST
Don’t skip it! It’s the most important meal of the day, the one which kick starts your metabolism and delivers energy throughout the day.
5. MUSIC
Listen to any kind of music that makes you feel good so you can start your day in a positive mood!
6. NO PHONE
Take care of yourself first! E-mails and calls can wait!
7. READ
Take a few minutes to read a positive, encouraging book in the morning. Soak your mind in inspirational words. This practice can make a big difference in the long term.
8. MEDITATE
Take a moment to center on yourself in a silent place. For few minutes, close your eyes and observe your breath
Have a great day!
