Start Your Day with More Energy
By Emily Cunningham
Pick a bedtime, and stick with it. Waking up well rested starts the night before. If you get enough sleep each night will make waking up easier, and allow you to get more accomplished throughout the day.
Skip the snooze button. Let yourself stay in deep sleep until you actually have to wake up. You will get more quality sleep than if you wake up a half and hour early and press snooze every five minutes.
Open the blinds. Sunshine will kick start your biological clock.
Turn on some music. Listening to songs you love will help your mind wake up, and make your morning routine more enjoyable.
Exercise. Even if you can’t get a full work-out in, something as simple as a ten minute walk or stretch will get your blood flowing and help kick start your day.
Take a cool shower. This will help wash away the sleep, leaving you feeling clean and fresh for the day.
Eat breakfast; drink orange juice. Try to get a balanced meal in the morning. Look for cereal with protein and fiber. Eating in the morning starts your metabolism and will keep you from over eating throughout the rest of the day. A high metabolic rate will help your burn fat and have more energy.
