You already know that I changed my sleeping habits for the better by getting up at 6 o’clock every day. At the same time I don’t have to go to bed earlier so I have 90 additional minutes every morning. It’s easier to get up in the morning if you have an awesome morning routine that you look forward to. It will also prevent you from getting back into your old habits. So here are some things you can do to start your day like a winner:
1. Take a deep breath – Or even better take lots of them. Smile while doing so and build some positive thoughts while keeping your eyes closed for a moment.
2. Stretch – You have been lying around for hours with propably minor movement at best. So give your entire body the chance to wake up by stretching it.
3. Eat some fruit you like – Fruits are awesome! They are healthy and delicious. So start your day with a good feeling by eating the fruit of your choice.
4. Have sex – This is the number 1 activity choice during the entire day. But nothing lets you start into a successful day like good morning sex.
5. Go running – Like I already told you I love running. And knowing that you already ran for miles while most of the town is just trying to get awake with buckets of coffee is just great.
6. Work out – Same thing here. Instead of working out in the evening after a long hard day try it in the morning. You will have plenty of time in the evening for other things and the feeling that you have already completed your work out will boost your confidence for at least the entire day.
7. Meditation, Tai Chi, Yoga – Start your day in stressless fashion by not checking mails or reading the latest horror news. Instead you’re calm and rested. Use that, sit down in a comfortable position and meditate for some time.
8. Drink a nice hot beverage – Especially when it’s cold in your bedroom and you want to stay in bed. Reward yourself for getting up anyway with your favourite hot drink.
9. Get some fresh rolls – There’s not much that smells as good as freshly baked bread and rolls. So visit your local bakery early in the morning when the smell of warm dough is still in the air.
10. Go for a walk – For those of you who don’t like running. The world is never more quiet then during the night and the early morning hours (weekends aside).
