- Check your calendar & to-dos
Knowing what your day'll look like helps reduce stress.
Clarify your to-dos to build a mental picture of your day.
This will help you feel in control of your day.
2. Avoid checking your phone
Everyone grabs their phone when they wake up.
But now the apps on your phone determine how you spend your morning.
You owe it to yourself, put the phone away.
3. Get outside
Morning sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm, which will help you sleep better at night.
But even if it's still dark, go outside and get some fresh air to help you wake up.
4. Plan the night before
Just getting up with no plan is asking for failure.
Instead, start the evening before:
- Go to bed on time
- Lay out your clothes
- Schedule your workout
- Know what the plan for the day is
Then all you need to do is show up & execute.
5. Identify your one thing
You end the day feeling deflated when nothing meaningful was achieved.
Fix this by identifying one action (writing a report, playing Lego with your kids, etc.) that'll make today a win.
6. Start with a glass of water
Why?
- Improves hydration
- Flushes toxins out of your body
- Helps you wake up and feel refreshed
- Reduces cravings for the rest of the day
7. Journal
Daily reflection ensures you are in control of your life.
Other benefits include:
- Boosts mood
- Reduce stress
- Sharpens memory
- Identify negative thoughts
- Increases emotional control
