Wake up on Time!

First up for things to do in the morning to have a good day is to actually wake up! Most of us hear that annoying loud alarm go off in our ears and quickly hit the snooze button. Then it goes off again, snooze, and again, snooze, and again! Hitting the snooze on your alarm clock over and over won't help you feel any more awake in 10, 20, or 30 minutes. All it will do is have you wake up late and have to rush to work or school, which isn't a very nice start to your day. Instead, get up at the right time (or earlier) so you can have enough time to get ready and relax a bit.

2

Drink Water

Following getting out of bed, the first thing you should do is drink a big glass of water. It's so simple but most of us overlook the fact that our body is in desperate need of water after a long night's sleep. In fact, one of the most common reasons for low energy is not drinking enough water! If you don’t like water on its own, then squeeze some fresh lime or lemon into it. Plus, drinking a glass of water before eating breakfast will help you to not eat as much and feel fuller.

3

Let It Shine

Morning sunlight will naturally wake you up by telling your brain that it is time to get going! Try leaving your blinds open a bit so the morning sunlight will wake you up instead of your stressful alarm clock. Even better, if you have a nice spot to sit outside when having your breakfast, it can put you in a good mood if the sun is shining and the birds are chirping.

4

Eat a Good Breakfast

Breakfast is definitely the most important meal of the day. If you start out with a delicious and healthy breakfast, studies have shown that you will continue to make better health choices throughout the day. Plus, eating something you really enjoy will put you in a good mood right from the start! Stick to lots of fruits, oats, or eggs, as they will be the best source of energy to carry you through the day. Don't eat tons of carbs or sugar, as they will tend to slow you down later on.

5

Enjoy Something Entertaining

Make some time (or do it while eating) to read the newspaper, watch the morning news, read some of your book, or watch a rerun of your favorite show. Catching up on the news will give you things to talk about with your co-workers or enjoying your own favorite media will help you to relax a bit before leaving. It will help to take your mind off the fact that you're tired and need to go to work all day.

Exercise

There are so many benefits to exercising in the morning. First, it helps raise your metabolism which helps to burn calories all day, and second, it starts the day with a positive accomplishment! If the weather permits, try to exercise outside for even more of an energizing workout. It's better to get your workout over and done with in the morning rather than after work when all you probably want to do is go home and relax!

7

Clean a Little Bit

Is your house a little messy from last night? Then straighten up a bit! It's better than worrying about having to do it after school or work when you're going to be exhausted. Plus, achieving something (even as simple as cleaning) early in the morning will set you up for a day of continuing to be productive. The early morning hours are great for cleaning up a bit because usually you're the only one awake and have nothing to distract you!

8

Play Music While You Get Dressed

Music has been proven to stimulate the brain in a way that almost nothing else can do. When you hear your favorite song, you get excited! So put on your favorite music (something upbeat) to listen to while you get ready for the day. If you can't listen to music out loud because other people are sleeping, then pop in your ear buds and carry your iPod with you. You'll be energized and dancing around your house in no time!

9

Look Gorgeous!

It's no secret that people judge us by our appearance. Because of this, it’s a good idea to spend a few extra minutes in the morning to look the best you can. Plus, if you think you look gorgeous, you will feel happier than if you think you look gross. So take the time the night before to pick out a nice outfit, or wake up a little earlier to curl your hair. You will feel great for the rest of the day and you may even get compliments to boost your mood even more!

10

Take Your Time Getting to Work

Leave the house with enough time to get to work so you're not rushing. Whether it's driving or taking public transit, you don't want to be stressed out about getting to work. This is when accidents can happen or speeding, which may result in a big ticket to ruin your entire day. So take your time getting to work, take the scenic route, play some music, and drive with the window down. Or if you're taking public transit, walk slowly and enjoy the morning, maybe even stop to get a coffee at your favorite shop.

Of course, I don't think you will be able to have time to do everything on this list unless you get up really early or don't work until later in the day. Just pick some of your favorites to fit into your mornings! If you have a bad morning, you're likely to have a bad rest of the day. So make sure you try to use your mornings to your advantage! Even if you say you're not a morning person, you can train yourself to be one. What is your normal morning routine?
