From dusk to dawn, here are 6 tips to set yourself up for the most productive day!
1. Wake up earlier!
You’re probably tired (pun intended) of hearing about how great waking up early is. We are all guilty of listening to the early morning devil who advocates for us to stay in bed. However, we can’t deny there are undeniable benefits to seizing the day, and you’re missing out on them by hitting that damn snooze button.
The earlier you wake up, the more time you’ll have to get stuff done – it’s that simple.
2. Make your bed
It might be a small accomplishment, but making the bed sets the tone for the entire day. It’s all about setting an intention to do the little things that bring about an orderly, thoughtful, responsible, balanced, or successful aspect to your life.
3. Include Coffee in your morning routine
Coffee is a non-negotiable for most! It’s a great resource for waking you up and getting you mentally ready for the day. The caffeine in coffee is a stimulant that can act like a pre-workout or even a sleepiness blocker. This way, you can focus on your tasks for the day and stay alert!
4. Move your body
Participating in regular movement during your day has proven benefits for both our minds and bodies such as;
- Releases endorphins and helps relieve stress
- Improves mental health and elevates your mood
- Allows us to take a break from ‘the everyday' tasks
- Provides an outlet for self-expression
- Healthier bones, muscles and organs
5. Reward your body with nutritious foods
Eating a healthy diet is all about feeling great, having more energy, improving your health, and boosting your mood. The foods you eat should fuel your body and the activities you do which will ultimately affect your overall health.
6. Implement a good night-time routine
Having an evening routine allows you the time and space to physically and mentally decompress after a long day. Here are our recommendations to optimise your night-time routine;
- Limit screen time
- Avoid eating right before bed
- Spend the time looking after your skin
