6 Tiny Morning Habits That Will Change the Way You Feel, Think, and Live Every Day
Transform your mornings and overall well-being with these six simple habits. They require barely any effort but profoundly impact your mood, mindset, and productivity every day.
Drink A Glass of Water First Thing
Your body needs hydration and a glass of water immediately helps hydrate your body, impacts metabolism, helps digestion, and helps flush out things that can make you feel recharged and refreshed, so you can start your morning positively.
Open the Curtains, Let the Sun Light In
Natural light can elevate your mood, reset your circadian rhythm (your body's sleep clock), and signal to your brain that it is daytime, helps with your free sense of alertness and your balance between sleeping and waking.
Take Three Deep, Mindful Breaths
Just stop and breathe for a second. Creating this habit is a simple way to reduce stress and clarify your mind, and to consider things before you look at your phone or dive into what you are doing.
Write Down One Thing You Are Grateful For
When you take the time and write a gratitude note, increase your happiness level, remind you of some of the positives in the world and remember to be attentive to the little pleasures in life more often over time, starting every morning.
Move Your Body, Even If Just for a Moment
Regardless of whether you stretch, do some light yoga, or a few jumping jacks, moving is going to circulate blood, loosen muscles and increase your energy and perspective almost immediately.
Set One Tiny Goal for the Day
Declare one small, tangible goal (like reading a chapter or eating a healthy breakfast for your first meal). It’s a way of setting the intention for your day, gives you a command center for you to focus on, and gives you something to aim for.
