Morning routine menu – A wellness lifestyle “cuisine”
“Just 5 more minute”, “it’s still early” – words and decisions pop into your head, you’re wrapped in a warm blanket. Uh oh! You wake up late again and have to hurry up – rush into the day.
Sounds familiar? Why is the morning so uncomfortable? If you’ve asked that question to yourself, luckily, there are a few ways to make mornings easier. Are you ready to read through?
The secret to a pleasant morning is to keep your first waking hour as regular as possible for several weeks. The more we struggle to make decisions, the more energy we expend. It’s important to have a consistent morning routine to avoid “decision fatigue” at the start of the day.
A morning routine can boost your energy, productivity, and positivity. It also creates motivation, helping the brain function at optimal levels to support work throughout the day. Here is a “morning routine menu” for those who dont have one.
