Tips For Having A Relaxing Day By Waking Up Earlier

Mind is All

One of the hardest parts of the day for a lot of people is “waking up on time,” and because of how difficult waking up can be for these people, 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!

One of the first things you should plan to do, when you wake up earlier than you need to, 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 stretching out your shower a bit longer, another thing you should do is find a way 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, it is said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but many of us end up eating breakfast on the go, or end up missing breakfast altogether; 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!
