10 Things to Do to Start the Day Fresh

Starting the Day Fresh can be easy for some of us, while it can be quite challenging for others. If you find yourself among those who struggle, you don't have to accept this situation as your fate. To start the day energetically, perhaps all you need to do is change some of your habits. The following tips may help you in this regard.

1. 1.       Decorate Your Bedroom to Bring You Joy

Furnish your bedroom in a way that makes you happy when you open your eyes. Hang a few beautiful pictures, place some flowers. Paint the walls a refreshing color. With some decoration changes that won't require spending a lot of money, you can make the environment you sleep in conducive to starting the day lively and energetically.

1. 2.       Prepare for the New Day Before Going to Bed

If you prepare for the next day the night before, you will move more comfortably when you wake up. Preparing things like choosing what to wear upon waking, making a sandwich and putting it in the fridge can reduce the morning rush.

1. 3.       Go to Bed at a Time You Can Sleep for Six to Eight Hours

The amount of sleep everyone needs is not the same, but almost every source states that an adult should sleep at least 6 hours. Adjust your bedtime so that you can sleep between 6 and 8 hours. If you have difficulty falling asleep, think about the reasons and solutions, and seek help if necessary.

1. 4.       Don't Start the Day with Your Mobile Phone

If you immediately grab your phone in the morning and start browsing social media platforms, try to break this habit. If you want to start the day fresh, your first tasks should be to open the window and get some fresh air, wash your face and start your daily skincare routine, drink a glass of water, and have breakfast. Doing some stretching or exercising can also be very beneficial.

1. 5.       Avoid Snoozing the Alarm Multiple Times

Snoozing your phone's alarm multiple times in the morning is a common behavior nowadays. We do this to snooze for another 10 to 15 minutes, but some studies show that these short, shallow sleeps can make you feel tired. Getting up at the designated time without lingering in bed may seem difficult at first, but if you act decisively for a while, it won't take long to become a habit.

1. 6.       A Healthy Breakfast Provides Energy and Joy

One of the things to do to start the day well is to take time for a healthy breakfast. As a working person, you might think you don't have time for this, but just getting up and going to bed 15 to 20 minutes earlier will be sufficient. You won't lose anything by trying, but if you make it a daily routine, you can be sure you will see its benefits.

1. 7.       Exercise with Music

Both music and movement are elements that will help your day start beautifully. Spend at least 10 minutes exercising in the morning. Listen to lively, cheerful songs during this time. This will have very positive effects on your mood throughout the day. Even if you don't exercise, play some music for a while. With the effect of music, you will move faster, get ready quicker, and start the day more enjoyably.

1. 8.       Take a Warm Shower

If you are among those who have difficulty starting the day, take a warm shower in the morning. Your sleepiness will dissipate, your face and body will be cleansed, and you will feel more confident because you are refreshed and clean.

1. 9.       Practice Meditation

It has been scientifically proven that meditation reduces fatigue and stress, provides inner peace, increases focus, regulates heart rhythm, and strengthens emotional intelligence and problem-solving abilities. The benefits of meditation are not limited to these; if you research, you will see that it can add many more positive things to your life. If possible, try to set aside 15 minutes for morning meditation. Even if you feel reluctant at first, over time, you will likely think that you made the right decision due to the benefits it provides and will want to continue.

1. 10.   Visualize the New Day in Your Mind

When you wake up in the morning, briefly think about the things you need to do during the new day, and even make backup plans for certain situations. Of course, we never know what life will throw at us, but having a rough plan for the day can be comforting.
