Gain More Exposure to Natural Light
The first thing that you should do in the morning is open your blinds and curtains to allow more natural light to flow into your room. Your body is programmed to wake up to natural light. If it is during the winter and it’s dark in the mornings where you live, then you may need to get up and turn on the lights.
There are special lights that you can buy, called “happy light” that simulates natural light. So, while you are doing other things, like gathering your clothing, keep exposing yourself to the natural light. There are also several kinds of alarm clocks on the market today that will simulate the rising sun in your bedroom.
Washing Up Ritual
When we take the time to wash in the morning, this helps our brain realize that the day has begun. To get the most out of the washing up ritual, try to incorporate these steps into your new daily morning routine. When you first wake up:
1. Wash your face with hot water and a facial cleanser.
2. Finish up with a splash of cold water.
3. Take a short shower. Don’t worry about washing your hair or using soap, just get your body wet.
4. Dry off and get dressed in fresh clothes.
5. Brush your teeth and rinse with mouthwash.
Following these simple steps, every morning will signal to your brain that it is time to start your day.
Get Hydrated
After you’ve finished your washing up ritual, you need to make sure that you get yourself hydrated by drinking at least one, eight-ounce glass of water. If you enjoy a strong cup of coffee in the morning, that's fine, just make sure you also drink a bottle of water with it, so you don't become dehydrated.
Feed Your Body and Mind
We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, you want to try to avoid overeating in the morning because this will only make you feel sluggish and slow you down for the rest of the day. It’s best if you eat a small serving of an antioxidant smoothie, or an egg on a muffin, or a small bowl of berries or a piece of fruit, or even some yogurt with nuts sprinkled on top.
Get Your Body Moving
If you want to stay motivated throughout your day, then you need to get your brain running effectively. In order to do this, you need to get your heart pumping.
To help get your senses charged up in the morning, you can try dabbing a bit of peppermint oil under your nose or brush your teeth with mint toothpaste. Mint has been proven to help with increasing mental awareness. You can also try listening to a particular song every morning that you know gets your blood pumping to the point that you are ready to do some dancing.
Make a Connection with Your Passion
Every morning, choose to participate in an activity that will energize you are you ready yourself for your hour of self-improvement. You can use the energized activity as a bridge to your hour-long activity.
As you finish the energizing segment of your new daily morning routine, include something that will make you want to take action like meditating about your goal for a few minutes, reading a blog that focuses on your interest, or keep a journal of your progress. You want to make sure that this activity can be completed in under 30 minutes.
