Put it Down on Paper
Not sure what you want to get out of the day? You need to make a list. Did you know Albert Einstein’s morning routine included crafting a list of things in which he felt compelled to complete? We can also influence the results we achieve by outlining a clear path of what we’d like to accomplish daily. Pro tip: Add value to your list by estimating the amount of time in which each goal will take to complete. The more detail the better!
Natural Energy
Not only are testosterone levels typically higher in the morning, all of your hormones are at peak levels in the morning. A simple 5 minute workout can make a world of difference in your morning routine. Try it! Starting the day with exercise can boost your energy levels, leaving time for other priorities, and keeping you focused on achieving the goals you have set for the rest of the day. Try to stay active at least 6 days a week for optimal results.
Citrus Boost
Wondering how to spike your energy level? Simply start your day with one of Florida’s finest fruits. Citrus fruit is proven to give you a physical and mental boost when consumed in the morning. A variety of health concerns can be prevented by starting your day with a citrus snack. In addition to the commonly known benefits of Vitamin C, citrus fruit always works as an antioxidant and reduces inflammation via flavonoids. The citrus scent can also double as aroma therapy – the smell gives off a refreshing scent which can revitalize you.
Acts of Kindness
We feel our best when we give back to others. Every morning, stop and think about what you are truly grateful for in life. Put those good feelings to work by sharing a compliment or some sort of gesture of appreciation. Without gratitude we cannot grasp the importance of the simple pleasures life has to offer throughout the day. In modern science, gratuity is closely tied to happiness levels.
Comfortable Consistency
The best way to boost your morning routines is to find consistency. Once you establish guidelines for what you’d like to achieve, you will grow habits which will keep you on track for the rest of the day. Each day, you will find the routine gets easier as you put an emphasis on sticking to the new rituals. Treat yourself! After the first week of sticking to your new morning routine, reward yourself for starting your day off on the right foot.
