When you wake up in the morning, step outside and breathe deeply for a couple of minutes. Raise your arms and stretch your body. The fresh air (and hopefully, sunshine) will awaken your senses.
Drink a large glass of water first thing in the morning.
The human body is made up of a large percentage of water; the brain is made up of 95% water, blood is 82% and lungs 90%. A mere 2% drop in our body's water supply can trigger signs of dehydration. Mild dehydration is also one of the most common causes of daytime fatigue.
It’s important to eat breakfast. As a matter of fact, every meal of the day is important, but eating a balanced breakfast that includes some lean protein will give you natural energy to start your day. Also, to your morning coffee or tea, add a teaspoon of honey. The caffeine plus the natural sugar in the honey will give you a boost of energy.
Take a 5-10 minute walk in the morning. The fresh air, sunshine and exercise will rev up your engine and energise you.
Take up a new hobby or creative interest.
Monotony breeds fatigue. When you have nothing to look forward to, it’s hard to generate energy. We all need to create new energy and zest into our lives. What do you enjoy doing? Is there a hobby you’ve always wanted to try? Do something creative (craft projects, painting, woodworking, etc.) – it will invigorate you.
Once you have a passionate interest in your life, getting up in the morning will be more of a joy than a chore.
