Certified coach Jarrod Nobbe claims that how we start our morning affects all day. The proper morning routine not only helps to wake up, but also improves metabolism, recharges energy and cheer up. In a comment for Eat this, not that he shared five simple habits that should be implemented from tomorrow morning.
1. Get out to light: Wake up with the sun
even a few minutes under the natural light in the morning can make a difference. Sunlight regulates the circadian rhythm - the inner clock of the body that affects sleep, energy and metabolism. Daylight also increases the level of serotonin - the "hormone of happiness", which improves mood. If you can't go outside, spend a few minutes near the window.
2. Move immediately after awakening
morning physical activity is not necessarily training in the gym. Light stretching, several yoga asanas or a short walk awaken the body, improve blood circulation and maintain flexibility. It is enough 5 minutes of movement to activate the muscles and relieve morning stiffness.
3. Start with water, not with coffee
after a night's sleep, the body is dehydrated, so the first thing it needs is water. A glass of water helps to "start" metabolism, improve blood circulation, promotes digestion and even has a positive effect on the skin. To diversify the taste, add lemon or several berries.
4. Breathe in consciously
deep breathing - a quick way to relieve stress and calm your mind. Nobbe advises simple technique: inhale for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 4, exhale for 4 and retain for 4 seconds again. This will help to focus, reduce anxiety and tune in on a productive day.
5. Plan your day
daily motivation begins with a simple plan. It can be a short list of affairs, daily affirmation or one specific goal. By fixing this in writing or saying aloud, you contribute to the clarity of thoughts and increase your confidence.
