7 Energizing Activities to Kick-Start Your Day

A Great Day Begins By Energizing Our Morning

7 Energizing Activities to Kick-Start Your Day featuredMornings can be a tough part of the day. We don’t want to get up, and most of us certainly don’t want to go to work. But mornings are important.

A good morning is the most important step to ensuring that you have a good day. If you stumble out of bed, shower, get dressed, and rush out the door with a cup of coffee, you’re not setting the stage for a productive day.

An effective day starts with an effective morning. You can’t be rushed and be at your best.

Get your day off to a good start:

1. Make a to-do list the night before. You can’t get your morning off to the best start if you don’t know what you have planned for the day. Do you need to wear a tie or skirt instead of your normal wardrobe choices? If you know what’s on tap, you can get your mind in the right place. Know how you’re going to spend your day.

2. Drink a large glass of water. After a night of sleep, you’re dehydrated. So when you wake up, your body craves water. Consider avoiding caffeine. It’s hard on your body. If you’re too tired in the mornings, try going to bed earlier.

3. Take a walk. Put on your running shoes and head outdoors. The treadmill is another option. Feel free to run if the urge strikes you. A morning walk is a great way to wake up and clear your mind. You’ll feel great and get a jump on your day.

• Any form of exercise is acceptable, provided you feel better at the conclusion than you did at the beginning. Now isn’t the time to wear yourself out. You should feel invigorated at the end. Find the best form of exercise for you.

4. Have a good breakfast. A good breakfast should make you feel good and provide the nutrition you require until lunchtime. You already know which foods are healthy and which aren’t. Make a few wise choices and note how you feel during the morning.

• Continue experimenting with different combinations until you find one that works best for you.

5. Recite affirmations. You can say affirmations while in the shower, exercising, or driving to work. Find a time that works for you and be consistent. Use affirmations that address the challenging areas of your life. The things we say to ourselves repeatedly become the truth.

6. Get up earlier than necessary. If you start your morning behind schedule, you’re not able to take control of your morning. It’s much more enjoyable to spend your morning without the pressure of being on time. Go to bed earlier and get the sleep you require.

7. Be prepared to deal with your most important task first. This should be easy, since you made a to-do list the night before. Know your most important task and be prepared to face it head-on.

Life can be hectic. You’re not helping the situation by crawling out of bed at the last possible moment and eating a donut on the way to work. A good morning increases the odds of having a good day. Give yourself the time in the morning to gather your thoughts and prepare properly for the day ahead. You’ll be surprised how much you can accomplish before work.
