How To Have A Relaxing Day By Waking Up Earlier

Mind is All

For some people, one of the hardest things in the day is “waking up on time,” and because of this, they end up hitting the snooze until the last possible minute (or even until a couple minutes after “the last possible minute”!), and end up having to rush through the morning to be ready for work; as counterintuitive as it sounds, however, one of the best ways to set yourself up for a great, relaxing day is to wake up earlier than you need to!

When you wake up earlier than you need to, one of the first things you should plan to do is take a slightly longer shower than you need to; when you do this, you will be able to allow the hot water to both wake up your body and relax your body – which, of course, will put you in great position for the rest of your day.

In addition to taking a longer shower, you should also consider doing something to get your blood flowing in the morning; this does not mean you should necessarily do a heavy workout (which, quite frankly, is not the best way to start a day), but rather, it means you should do something such as yoga, or should go for a walk, to slowly ease your body into the day.

And of course, most of us have heard it said before that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but many of us end up eating breakfast on the go, or end up skipping breakfast completely; when you wake up a bit earlier, however, you will be able to sit down to enjoy some breakfast or coffee in a relaxed manner – perhaps with a newspaper in hand (rather than with the strident sounds of the television or radio).

It is not always easy, early on, to wake up before the time when you “absolutely need to,” but once you begin forcing yourself to do this a few times, the extra level of relaxation you will head into your day with will quickly make it a whole lot easier for you to wake up this extra bit early!
