Even just the words "life changes" sound daunting, don't they? But all new good habits and positive life changes don't have to be a lot of work - some of them are actually pretty simple, and you can start them when you wake up in the morning! Here are a few ideas...
1 No Alarm Clock
Did you know you can train your body to wake up on time, so you'll never need an alarm clock again? I can't think of a worse way to wake up than to a blaring alarm clock, which is why this simple change tops my list.
Frequently asked questions
2 Get up and Go!
I'm not talking CrossFit or marathon training or anything. Even a quick jog around the block or a brisk pre-shower walk or some gentle yoga stretches can start your day right. It's invigorating!
3 Break Your Fast
If you're not already eating breakfast, now's the time to start. Even if it's just a quick banana, a slice of whole-grain toast, and a cup of tea, your body craves a little nourishment at the start of a busy day.
4 Sunscreen and Moisturizer
The wee morning hours are the perfect time to take care of your skin. It's such a great idea to get into the habit of caring for your skin: don't forget the moisturizer and sunscreen at the end of your routine!
5 Meditate My Dear!
In our world of constant connection, it's hard to find the time to just clear our minds and focus our energies. I do it in the shower, but you can do it anywhere, anytime in the morning.
6 Get Organized
My days became a lot less stressful when I started making a list of everything I needed to get done in the week - and when I started checking my list and prioritizing each morning. It's so helpful!
7 Be Thankful
Last but not least, I've also started counting my (many) blessings each morning, rather than whinging about what potential downers the day ahead might hold. Before I set off, I thinking of three fab things about my day I'm looking forward to, no matter how small... this slight attitude adjustment makes all the difference!
