Start your morning off on the right foot:
Starting your morning off right can sometimes be a challenge.
We’ve all been there before – Rolling out of bed, your eyes are heavy, your body is stiff, and you’re not sure why exactly but you know for sure you’re upset at something or someone.
However it presents itself – those mornings are NEVER fun.
The fact is, some days I just wake up having an “off day”, which is completely natural and okay.
Learning how to take those types of mornings into your own hands come with trial and error to find the right technique – but it IS possible to turn these days around.
I put together a few EASY tricks to move your brain in the right direction – the happy direction.
1. Accomplish one goal - Make your bed

First and for most, you have to get out of bed. It’s tempting to hit that snooze button as soon as it turns on. I should know, I’ve mastered the quick swiftness of that snooze button. But fear not!
Leave your phone far away from you the night before and you shall not be tempted!
2. Start with productivity - Make your bed
Right now your bed looks really good. Like, really really good.
Snap out of it.
We have to destroy that hope. Not only are you destroying the hope of getting back into it, but you’re also setting your day up ALREADY for success.
Think about it, you’ve already crushed the FIRST thing off your to do list. You are on a roll!
3. Healthy Habits - Get your booty movin'

Getting your body moving, and the blood flowing is such a good trick to wake your body up.
Whether this is through stretching, yoga, home workout, dancing, going for a run – whatever gets you up and at em’!
You do not have to be an expert! There are so many at home gym workouts online! Search through to check out which one works best for you and your needs!
Get Active!
4. Healthy diet - Eat something yummy!

It is a known fact that if you start your day off with something nourishing, your body (physically AND mentally) will thank you!
Give yourself something that you will be proud of. Make yourself a smoothie, drink some water, make your FAVOURITE breakfast.
Kick off your day with something delicious and yummy!
5. Spark your inspiration!

We all have the one thing that we love to do.
This could be: listening to your favourite podcast – turning on Netflix and watching the next episode of the show you’re binge-watching – calling your family or friends to chat – going outside for a walk and listening to music – painting – writing – catching up on social media – WHATEVER the case may be, start your day off by doing that ONE thing.
That thing for YOU that puts a smile on your face. That thing that lights you up and makes you feel excited inside.
“A Successful morning is not finished until you get to do that ‘one’ thing. 🙂

What is your favourite thing to do in the mornings? What’s your one thing you HAVE to do every morning?

I always feel much better when I get up and make my bed. It makes things seem “cleaner” when it’s time to crawl back in it!
YES! I totally agree, Cam. There is something SOOOO nice about crawling back into a neatly made up bed. It’s like it was ready for you lol Can’t beat that feeling at the end of the day!
We all know these little things but fail to practice them. This has come like a reminder for me. The first thing that I do is check my phone. I have to stop this now. Thanks for sharing.
I know this feeling all too well. The phone is such kryptonite! I’ll work on it if you do too! Thank YOU so much for reading!
Putting my alarm across the room is definitely going to wake me up 😛 I like the point where you mentioned “Make your bed” I consider this an important part to start a day as it gives a feeling that you are out of bed officially and ready to move through the day. Nice tips 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Villa !! I love that trick. It really makes you get UP – which is my biggest downfall ahah. That’s so awesome, I appreciate it!
These are all really great tips to get the morning off to a great start. I think eating a healthy breakfast is the most important because it tends to dictate the other food choices I make the rest of the day.
AGREED. When I start my morning off with a nice healthy meal – It takes A LOT for me to want to ruin that for the rest of the day! Thanks so much !!
Love the morning routine
It’s super cool
But sometimes I forget moving the booty
love this comment ahah “moving the booty” ! I forgot sometimes too – it’s definitely okay!
It’s crazy how much little things make a difference! I love making my bed every morning. I feel so responsible, lol.
it’s true ! It’s all about those few little things in the morning that change your mindset and set you up for the rest of the day! lol that’s so awesome Anna! Keep it up 🙂 !
Great advice! It’s true my day doesn’t start unless I’ve got the apartment picked up and I’ve spent time reading. Thanks for sharing ?
I relate to that as well!! Day already feels so nice when you start with a clean house, and you checked off one thing that pushes your mind. Brilliant ideas! Thank you so much, Maria!
Such great ideas for starting the day off on the right foot! (Just need to work on not pressing the “snooze button” in the mornings haha.)
Thank you so much for reading Bennett ! So happy that you liked it! And yes! ahah I am right with you on that one!
These are great tips especially that a lot of persons are indoors more. Thanks Pam
Yes! So many people right now are having more time to really be inside their heads so it’s great to get up, get moving and get your mental state in the right spot! Thank you so much Shay!
Great tips! I think doing something that always makes you happy is a great tip. I for one must have coffee while reading my bible, that definitely gets me on the right track.
That sounds like an awesome start to the day, Idara! Great idea! I can admit, I look forward to that morning coffee the second I wake up aha !
I always have a ‘to-do’ list each day, but need to add these before the list gets started! I find if I’m frazzled by mid morning, my whole day is off. These will help! (Especially exercise and healthy eating..ahem…)
this is so very true and I feel the EXACT same way. If I’m thrown off by the first half of the morning, my whole day is done which = I need a set routine lol ! I’m with ya!
Such great tips, I know they definitely do work from personal experience
Thank you so much ! That’s so awesome!!!
Wise advice! Sometimes though you just want to find an “adultier” adult haha
ahah “adultier adult”! I think that comes with time and trial and error. We’re all just trying to adult together, aren’t we lol!
