There are many ways to start a new day. For me it boils down to the following 4 things:
- Brush teeth – Start off with fresh breath and get the germs out of your mouth for health reasons.
- Do some Yoga or Stretching of some kind to get your nervous system engaged.
- Bath and get dressed to get yourself presentable.
- Eat something healthy to get your energy reserves charged up.
Also good to add:
- Put on some music to get in a good mood.
- Make a list of what you are going to do today to improve your organizational productivity.
- Be loving to those you live with to inspire and nurture your friends and family.
- Clean up after yourself to reduce the messy footprint on your environment.
- Say out loud something you are thankful for as an important grounding and uplifting life thought.
Yoga and stretching are somewhat of a luxury because they can be a little time consuming, but I think the reward is worth getting up perhaps a little earlier for!
That’s it for this post. More of a guide post than a personal blog but it fits with my purpose for starting this site, which is to help others who struggle as I do with getting up in the morning.
