Starting your morning right sets the tone for the rest of your day. Wake up on the right side of the bed every day with these simple steps.
Gratitude
When you first wake up, take 5 minutes to focus your mind on what you're grateful for. You may also wish to visualise any of your aspirations and goals for the day. Studies show that some of the worlds most successful people do this to begin their day.
If you don't think you have time for this in your busy day, try setting your alarm clock 5 minutes earlier. Sure, the thought of extra sleep can be pretty hard to resist, but the benefits of practicing mindfulness and gratitude each morning will give you more than 5 extra minutes of sleep ever could.
Move
You don't have to move every day, but incorporating a little blood flow into your morning routine will create a ripple effect for the rest of your day. You'll also be more likely to make healthy decisions throughout your day.Exercising when you first wake up is the key to getting it done.
Include some movement in your mornings 2 to 3 days a week to notice a difference in both your mind and body. Here at BB HQ, our faves ways to get active are by taking a pilates or barre class. They’re low resistance and great for adding tone and length to your entire body. If these aren't available to you, why not try a long walk or run in the fresh air to get your endorphins going.
