Get the Most Out of Your Mornings

By Stepy Kamei

Mornings are crucial for setting up the way the entire day plays out. When you start your morning off on the right foot, it's that much easier to get through the rest of the day in a productive manner. Of course, this also means that stumbling through the morning is a great way to ensure a clumsier and less focused rest of the day. The routine you set up for yourself can set you up for success if you make the right choices. There are quite a few traps to fall into when it comes to typical morning habits, so make sure you're avoiding them and only practicing good and healthy habits for a better day. 

Eliminate the Snooze Button 

It seems like the snooze button is a helpful tool, allowing us to slowly wake up while still catching a few more minutes of sleep. In reality, the snooze button only serves to disrupt your natural sleep cycles in a way which makes you feel even more groggy throughout the day. Set your alarm on the other side of the room so you must get up to turn it off completely.

Eat a Healthy, Wholesome Breakfast

Many people feel like the mornings are so rushed and hurried that they simply don't have time to eat a healthy, nutritious breakfast. As a result, they skip the meal entirely, or turn to an unhealthy yet convenient choice. It's crucial that you make eating a healthy breakfast a priority. A morning meal consisting of plenty of fiber and protein will help boost your energy naturally, and it will keep you from overeating later on in the day.

Keep Your Caffeine Consumption Low

Many of us rely on at least one cup of coffee to get our mornings going. This isn't necessarily an unhealthy habit, but some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others. If you feel like you experience stress more often than your peers, try cutting back on the amount of caffeine you consume. You may notice a decrease in your stress levels, which can help you focus during the day.

Create a Game Plan

If you really want to stay focused and productive, whether you're heading to work or running errands, it can greatly benefit you to have a list of goals and tasks you want to achieve. Writing these things down on a list can remind you to stay on track throughout the day so you get more of what you need accomplished.
