As you start your day, you probably grow tired of sliding out of bed and grabbing a coffee, just to still be exhausted. However, not everything has to be so cut and dry when it comes to morning routines! Below are some ways that you can start your morning to make sure it’s the best day possible.

Meditation

One way to make sure you’re up and ready to move is to meditate. Meditating every morning can increase the amount of energy that you have, can build your confidence, or can even develop your sense of stability! If you don’t have the time to meditate for an extended period of time, why not try these breathing exercises specifically for when you wake up? If you have more time, there are other routines you can do, ranging from seven minutes to fifteen minutes! Meditating helps you clear your mind and enables you to be prepared emotionally for the day’s outcomes.

Shower or wash your face

Morning showers help rejuvenate your body and allow you to wake up and start the day. There’s something to be said for a splash of cold water on your face, helping you wake up. If showering is something you specifically only do at night, it’s best that you wash your face to help you look presentable in the morning. That’s so much better than showing up to work looking like you just rolled out of bed.

Alarm Clocks Can Be Your Friend– No, Really

Relying on your phone’s default sleep setting to wake you up can often lead to you hitting snooze a half dozen times, or the worst-case scenario, sleeping through the whole alarm, period. There are alarms that won’t make you want to break the clock. Here are a couple of things you can look for in an alarm clock app, so you don’t have to depend on your phone’s default snooze button.

Starting your day off right can be tricky, especially if you’re a heavy sleeper. Making sure you sleep enough can also be crucial to starting your day off right. Getting the right amount of sleep and doing the suitable routines to wake up can make sure every day is successful.
