You will not feel inactive throughout the day. You will be able to break the habit of procrastination, and you will feel physically and mentally healthy.
If you want to follow all the habits at once, then great, but it is not necessary to do so. Instead, you just have to read this post to the last and choose the habits which you like most suitable. So let’s get started.
10 Good Habits To Have In The Morning For Healthy Mind
You may be aware of these habits, but I want to remind you of these habits again so that you can implement this in your morning routine.
Hence, I have decided to write this blog post.
So let’s get started without further ado.
1. Drink a glass of water
Friends, do you know that 73% of our brain is only water and if we drink enough water throughout the day or as soon as we wake up in the morning, this water can energize both our brain and us?
If we don’t drink water constantly during 7-8 hours of sleep, our brain and body go into a state of dehydration, and research from Harvard Medical School says that our brain cells become dry due to dehydration. For this reason, you can feel headaches tiredness, and frustration in the morning.
You must drink one or two glasses of water on an empty stomach as soon as you wake up in the morning. This will boost your metabolism in your body and this water helps you in eliminating toxins from your body. You can also add lemon to this water.
But you have to keep in mind that you have to drink this water very slowly, and I would like to give you another bonus tip. You should keep water in a copper jug at night and after waking up in the morning, drink one or two glasses of that water on an empty stomach.
It has many advantages. Do it only if you find it suitable or else you can normally drink one or two glasses of water from the bottle in the morning.
2. Make your bed
Friends, Admiral William H McRaven said in his speech that if you want to change the world. First, you should start your day by fixing your bed.
Even David Goggins describes in his book “Can’t Hurt Me” that when he too had to improve himself and his life by leaving behind his old looser self. So he first woke up in the morning by fixing his bed.
Because there is a psychological reason behind it, making your bed in the morning co-relates with discipline. So making your bed as soon as you wake up in the morning gives a signal to your brain that you have completed the first task of the day, and doing so then motivates you to complete the rest of the day.
This one habit impacts you subconsciously and psychologically.
3. Listen to music
Did you know that your music test shows your personality? And only a few particular types of music can make your mood good or bad for the whole day?
Have you ever felt sad after listening to sad songs? Or have you ever felt energetic after listening to loud and energetic songs at parties? I am damn sure you must have experienced this.
Because there is a psychological reason behind it, the researcher says music can help you to improve your mood.
Hence, if you listen to any positive, calm, or good instrumental music at the beginning of the day, this will make your mood feel positive, happy, or motivated.
4. Read something inspiring
If you want to inspire a motivated and positive mindset at the beginning of the day, then you should keep some thoughts of successful and inspiring people in your mind at the beginning of the day, which you can learn from their books or articles.
You don’t need to read a book for 1 hour in the morning. If you like to read, then you can do it. Otherwise, you can read something good, even for just 10 minutes. It will improve your mindset at the beginning of the day.
5. Deep breathing
For most people, it is hard to meditate for even 10 minutes or to keep their minds calm. But doing deep breathing is not that hard for everyone. Hence, you have to do deep breathing for 10 minutes in the morning.
Take deep breaths by breathing in and out. It has many benefits. Such as you feel calm, improving concentration, reduce stress, anger, and anxiety.
So if you are feeling stressed or angry, or lacking focus throughout the day, then this deep breathing will be very beneficial for you.
It has many benefits in both mental and physical areas. You can learn this breathing exercise properly with the help of the internet.
6. Move your body
The orthopedic surgeon Glenn G. Shi says that just doing proper stretching for a while reduces the chances of injury in your bones and joints. Your muscles grow. You feel less muscle pain. It also keeps your blood pressure good and delivers oxygen to your brain.
Hence, if you feel laziness throughout the day or feel pain in the body, just 10 minutes of stretching can help you to overcome it.
So if you wake up in the morning and do proper stretching only for 10 minutes, and stretch every part of your body well. You will feel flexible and active throughout the day.
7. Take sunlight
We humans also need to take sunlight like plants, trees, or other things, because sunlight affects our mood and gives us vitamin D.
Moreover, sunlight also increases the production of serotonin chemicals in the brain. This chemical is also called the happy hormone. And the sun’s rays affect the general cognitive function of our brain positively. Which improves our mood and keeps it stable.
So if you sit in the same place or room for hours and never take sunlight outside, this can disturb your circadian rhythm. The chances of depression, sadness, and laziness may increase.
But you can avoid all of these by taking only 10 minutes of sunlight.
8. Take a cold shower
If it is not cold, then taking a bath in the morning with cold water proves to be effective in waking you up completely and eliminating laziness. It clears your mind and also boosts your energy level.
Researcher says, taking a cold shower increases the count of white blood cells in our body, and these white blood cells protect our body from diseases.
Some of the most productive people worldwide take a cold shower to keep their bodies, moods, and minds energized.
9. Plan your day
If you want your whole day to go the way you want, you should follow the habit of the day planning every day.
Every morning you need to give only 10 minutes to plan your day, after doing this you will not forget anything. It will help you to follow your tasks and habits in a sequence.
Planning increases your chances to complete your daily tasks because It keeps your brain organized and disciplined.
You should write your task on paper instead of the phone because the phone can also distract you. Hence, you should avoid writing it on your phone.
10. Reflection
The one thing most of us do before sleeping and after waking up is to use our phones.
Friends, if you want to achieve something big in your life, you should use this habit called reflection in your life at the start of every day.
Here, you have to think about your goals and purpose. See how you are performing now according to your life goals. Daily think about how my day should go and how can I make my day better today?
Ask yourself these questions. Doing this will give you clarity and self-awareness in life.
