One thing that haunts you on every
night? ‘Morning Blues’, we bet! Almost everybody dreads the mornings mostly due
to two reasons. One, you don’t want to leave the comfort of your cozy bed and
second, it’s the beginning of a stressful day. But look at the brighter side, mornings
bring fresh hopes and new beginnings too. So why not start your mornings on a
refreshing note rather than a saddened mood?
If you can maximize the relaxation
factors to minimize the stress elements, your mornings may not be as awful as you
think. Here are five amazing tips to invigorate your mornings.
Let’s move it

Give your lazy bones a life! If not
gym, then let it be walking, jogging, yoga, aerobics or Zumba. As long as you
move those muscles for about 30-45 minutes daily, you can always look forward
to energy filled mornings. You can start with a warm up and gradually increase
the intensity, based on your physical stamina. The focus should be on sweating
it out to burn the extra calories.
Eat breakfast like a
king
“Never work before breakfast. If you
have to work before breakfast, eat breakfast first.”
Well, we understand that your work
life beckons you and the clock is ticking fast. But, that doesn’t mean that you
skip the breakfast - the most important
meal of the day. A proper portion of healthy breakfast can get you through the
day actively. It would be a good idea to start with a cup of green tea or lukewarm water with lime. Lukewarm
water can boost your metabolism and flush out the toxins. While, green tea contains
anti-oxidants, which reduce the oxidation process in the body to preserve the
nutrients. A bowl of cereals with milk or traditional snacks such as poha or
upma cooked in less oil serves as a filling breakfast. Also, how about sneaking
a handful of almonds in your breakfast plate to stimulate
your brain?
Let the family nurture
your soul

Like the body, our soul also needs a
fresh fodder every morning. Though everyone may seem to be rushing around, a light
hearted chit chat with your family during the breakfast or the workout can
liven you up instantly. Make your mornings a special time to bond with your
family.
Refresh your mind with
music

Classical or jazz, romantic or
spiritual, listen to the music that refreshes your mind and uplifts your mood. When
you tune into music, your brain releases a neurotransmitter called dopamine,
which regulates brain’s reward and pleasure centres. An absolutely marvellous way to start the day on a happy and motivating note!
Dress to feel good

If you dress good, you feel good. A
nice attire coupled with a positive attitude can boost your self confidence
like nothing else can. Ladies, try to complement your dress with elegant jewellery, stylish handbags or stylish footwear. We have a nice
tip for the menfolk too – spend a few minutes extra in front of your mirror to
get that perfect groomed look. Aren’t you now
all set to step out of the house, no matter how the morning weather is?
Happy Mornings!
