Set Yourself Up For Success When You First Rise in the Morning

In the age of technology, it’s no secret that the majority of people have their cellphones or tablets glued to their hands. We are surrounded by technology and utilize it for every day necessities to bring more value, protection, knowledge, whatever that may be.

While technology has become a powerful tool while being both the now and the future, it does not have to take over one’s life. Various research shows how the way you begin your morning will only improve your mood, stress levels, and overall productivity. We compiled the information for you:

1. Tony Robbins suggests writing down 3 things you are grateful for that day. He also says  cold showers “can reduce pain and inflammation, increase happiness, tighten skin and improve overall health” and journaling.
2. An article on University Health discusses how getting your body moving and adding exercise to your morning routine can boost your energy and put you in a better mood. Read more here https://www.universityhealthsystem.com/blog/morning-exercise
3. Dr. Sebi suggest drinking water first thing in the morning. “Dr. Sebi recommended drinking a gallon of spring water every day, and first thing in the morning is the best time to start chugging. Water fires up your metabolism, alkalizes your body’s systems, helps flush out toxins and fuels your brain.” 
4. Journaling is good for your emotional state and to get the brain juices flowing. 
5. No technology use within the first hour of rising in the morning can greatly improve your brain’s ability to prioritize tasks. Dr Said Nikole Benders-Hadi says “The information overload that hits [you] before you’re fully awake interferes with your ability to prioritize tasks,” in an article on Now Time News.
6. Multiple sources strongly suggest meditation practices including Abraham Hicks and Joe Dispenza. Find any of their guided meditations and discussions on law of attraction, visualization, or finding peace and balance within oneself on youtube. Dispenza also has a book called “Becoming Supernatural”.
