Feeling sluggish in the morning? Try this eclectic list of ideas by which to kickstart your energy, bringing your body into a more motivated and productive day!
CALL YOUR BEST FRIEND
Connecting with a loved one first thing in the morning allows a meaningful, energized start to your day.
DRINK A SMOOTHIE
Using ice or frozen fruit will provide a necessary jolt to be more fully awake in the morning.
DO 100 JUMPING JACKS
Get that heart rate up! This one does not take much time but packs an energy-boosting punch.
DO A BRAIN DUMP
Put pen to paper and write down all of your burdens. Once the mental load is lighter, energy and motivation are sure to improve.
DRINK TEA
Black tea has a large amount of caffeine, which can mimic the energy boost you get from coffee, bringing warmth and comfort along with it.
GO FOR A WALK
Open the front door and step outside. Taking even a ten-minute walk increases heart rate, allows one’s senses to take in the fresh air, and creates a refreshed mind that will help you conquer the day ahead.
YOGA
This specific type of stretching, specifically back-bending poses, is said to increase energy.
CONNECT WITH YOUR FAITH
What inspires you? Spend time reading an inspirational book, digging into a Bible study, or praying.
TAKE A COLD SHOWER
It is said that consistently taking cold showers increases endorphins as well as metabolism. That sounds like a pretty big energy boost!
EAT CITRUS FRUIT
The essence of citrus fruit is a natural energizer. By incorporating citrus fruit into your morning routine, the inherent quality of the fruit will provide benefits to your body.
STEP INTO THE SUN
Allowing sunshine on your face and skin is a natural way to kick-start your day!
DRINK WATER
Rehydrating immediately following several hours of no eating or drinking will activate your body and help wake you up.
ENERGIZING MUSIC
Make a morning playlist of upbeat tunes that will kickstart your motivation and productivity.
