Flair Magazine In the wash of the new light of the am, the curtains add an orange beam to the day. And here you are, presented with a brand new day, a new beginning, and a fresh start. The times we are living at the moment are tough enough for everyone, but we always find a way to pull through, and this is how we recommend you do it. Creating an ideal and sufficient routine for your morning puts you on the right track for the rest of your day.
So, we gathered up some simple morning rituals that will boost your mood, set the right tone to your day, and help you relax.
- Visualise Your Entire Day
They say, “you can’t do anything until you see yourself do it”; Visualisation is daydreaming with a purpose, that’s why it’s better to sit back for a moment or two once you wake up and unravel how you want your day to be like or take you to. Set your mentality and take a deep breath before you demonstrate anything physically.
- Plan Your To-Do-List
Creating a simple list of what chores you want to make throughout the day keeps you organised and grounded. It enables you to stay focused and lessens the hassle of multiple processing. Besides, what is more, relaxing than to do simple writing along with your morning cup of coffee.
- Motivation
The world pauses for a moment when channelling into the spiritual. Allow your body, mind, and soul to dive into a tranquil minute before the hustle and bustle kick in your day. Meditation has an efficient benefit in calming your thoughts and enhances your rank of consciousness & mindfulness. So, take a deep breath and plug-off for a split second.
- Gratitude
While still on the meditation part, feeling thankful for a new day, a new life, and a new light is related. This pure selfless act goes both ways on you and the people around you. It doesn’t always have to be a “thank you” note; it can be a positive emotion that benefits your body. It enhances your overall health and sense of well-being. Additionally, deepens your relations, improves optimism, and increases the feeling of self-control.
- Stay Hydrated
Chug a cup of water in the morning; staying hydrated has numerous benefits for you in the long run. Especially when on an empty stomach, it cleanses your body and enhances the chances of your stomach to take in nutrients throughout the day.
Researches over the years have shown that staying hydrated has a major impact on your energy level and intellectual functioning all at once.
- Activate Your Body
Throw in some light stretching or a quick workout for the ultimate refreshment to your day. Moving your body strengthens your ligaments, and improves circulation. Not to mention, boosts your metabolism. A quick 30 minutes will do it just fine; you don’t have to sweat your guts out.
- Eat Breakfast
This is the most important part of the day, and probably the best as well! You must fuel your body and mind well with a healthy breaky to be in the best form. Getting nutrients in the early morning does you wonders, so make no excuses. You can fix yourself tons of delicious 2 step meals for a tasty breakfast. Be it toast with avocado and eggs, yogurt topped with granola and honey, or some sweet fruitful pancakes. Whichever you crave, make sure not to skip this step.
- Bring in The Sun
You are probably self-isolating while reading this, but that doesn’t mean you can’t soak up some sun. Light sends your body signals to relax and be more productive, it wakes your body up.
- Quick Talk
Seek your motivation through positive thoughts and repeat them to yourself out loud. Giving yourself a pep talk always works in your favor, increases your confidence, and assures you of what you are capable of doing. It is not about getting everything done perfectly, but how you are moving and mentally strong when dealing with anything that comes your way.
- Be Consistent
Consistency is the key to a stable healthy morning. Take simple steps in adopting one ritual at a time instead of taking it all in at once. Building up your daily routine takes some time to develop, so start with breathing and feeling grateful then build it from here on. We all have to start somewhere & doing something is finer than not doing anything at all.
