- Wake up early — it will motivate you more than sleeping in will!
- Try to avoid drinking too much the night before.
- Give yourself time to get ready and decide on an outfit that you will feel great in.
- Take a hot shower.
- Do your beauty routine.
- Exercise! Make sure to stretch well, and then get in a workout before you leave for the day.
- Map out your day and make a plan about how you will get things done on your list.
- Listen to a playlist that pumps you up.
- Read or watch something that inspires you.
- You've heard it before, and we'll say it again — eat a good breakfast!
- Start out the day doing the hardest or most dreaded thing on your list so that it's out of the way. It will be all downhill from there!
- Do a brain exercise like a crossword or sudoku to get those wheels turning.
- Eat less at night so that you don't wake up feeling full and lethargic.
- Don't press snooze!
- Get out of the bedroom and get going as soon as you wake up — don't let yourself be tempted to jump back under the covers.
- Try to be five minutes ahead of schedule so that if something disrupts your morning routine, it won't make you late.
- Meditate. While doing this, remind yourself what your goals are and how you want your day to go, and make it happen!
- If you can, swap tea for coffee, or avoid caffeine completely. But realistically — just wait to have that cup of coffee until about an hour after you wake up.
- Check your voicemail and emails so that you can plan accordingly.
- Catch up on the news so you don't face the day entirely clueless about current events (skimming the headlines should do the trick).
- Hydrate! Drink a cup or two of water — a little bit of H20 works wonders for your body.
- Smile!
- Stick to your routine through the week, and try not to deviate too far from it on the weekend — it will make Mondays extra hard.
- Take your dog for a walk if you have one. Or your cat; no judgments.
- Go outside and appreciate the day!
