No matter how tempting it is to laze around in bed till late into the day, remember that an early start is always better for your body and mind. In fact, research has shown that early risers tend to be happier, healthier and live longer than late risers. But waking up early isn’t enough. You must also stick to a morning routine to ensure that you feel energized for your day ahead! If you are feeling lost right now, don’t worry. Here is a list of some easy tips that can be a part of your morning routine.

Meditate upon waking up

Meditation helps you to focus and lowers anxiety levels. Upon waking up, sit up straight and meditate for five minutes or so. You can increase the duration over time. Concentrating on your breathing or repeating a mantra for the first few minutes of your day will do wonders for your mental strength!

Go for a short walk

Since mornings are usually very hectic, doing a complete exercise routine is often not possible. But a brisk walk or run of 20 minutes can do wonders for your body and mind. Even a small amount of exercise can help you keep your weight in check, resist a number of diseases, can boost mental health and instill a sense of discipline!

Take a refreshing shower

Never leave home without a refreshing shower. A shower is a great way to relieve stress. Apart from that taking a shower freshens you up and makes you look presentable. Feeling, smelling and looking fresh not only makes you happy but also makes you seem approachable to others!

Water the plants

You don’t need to have a full fledged garden to enjoy the company of plants. Decorate your home with potted plants and make sure to water them daily. Spending a few minutes of your mornings caring and looking after plants is guaranteed to make you happy. Not only do plants beautify your home, they also establish responsible attitude.

Have a hearty breakfast

Tuck in some hearty breakfast into your belly before you go about your day. Remember that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and understandably so. A healthy, nutritious breakfast keeps you full for a long time and gives you energy to perform your tasks!
