When it comes to setting yourself up for a productive day – one where you accomplish your to-do list with a positive mindset – it usually starts from the moment you wake up in the morning. Following are 9 simple ways you can set the tone for your day each morning.
SET A ROUTINE
First things first: set a routine and follow it. While it may be tempting to hit that snooze button and avoid that morning walk or exercise class, try to make whatever you implement into your routine a habit. And remember practice makes perfect. According to Healthline, it can take anywhere between 18 to 254 days to form a habit – so find a routine that works for you and do your best to stick with it. Bring structure to your day by creating a to- do list every morning. This not only helps you stay on task, but also gives you a sense of accomplishment every time you check an item off the list. PLAN YOUR DAY
Whether you enjoy your coffee on the porch or take your dog for a walk, sunlight in the morning helps your body wake up. Getting fresh air can also help reduce stress levels and makes you feel more energized. G ET OUTSIDE
