1. Prepare for the morning the night before
You need a maximum of 10 minutes to find the clothes you will wear in the morning, put your car and apartment keys, bag, wallet and everything else you need to leave the house in one place. That way, you'll wake up with less worries.
2. Do not sleep with closed blinds
Let the morning light into your bedroom as it is a 'natural' alarm clock. A dark environment promotes feelings of tiredness, bad mood and makes you sleepy.
3. Listen to music
Immediately after waking up, turn on the radio or a playlist. Your favorite music will make it easier to wake up.
4. Don't use snooze
When the alarm on your mobile phone wakes you up, never press 'snooze' and delay waking up. Namely, scientists have proven that because of this habit, you will eventually wake up in a worse mood and more tired. So always get up after the first alarm.
5. Motivate yourself with an 'alarm'
Instead of the standard factory melody, choose a favorite song for your morning alarm sound that you can never resist, even when you are most tired. It will automatically improve your mood.
6. Stretch as soon as you wake up
Instead of getting up instantly and making coffee, stretch first. Science has proven that so-called 'power poses' for stretching affect our mood.
7. Don't skip breakfast
Dedicate ten minutes of your morning routine to breakfast, which will help you get energy to start the day. If you want to lose weight along the way, eat a mix of grains.
8. Take a shower
Taking a hot shower is guaranteed to wake you up. For people with oily skin, showering in the morning will really help, because during the night, body fat accumulates in the pores, and showering will clean them.
9. Go to bed an hour earlier
You may not fall asleep right away, but you will give your body a signal that it is time for a well-deserved rest. Your body will be more rested and after a while you will wake up easier and be more productive in the morning.
10. Hang out
If your housemates or pets can't be separated from you in the morning, don't ignore them because it has been proven that just a few minutes of companionship has a positive effect on our mood.
