We all certainly know what it feels like to wake up and feel overwhelmed with the day ahead. Life can definitely feel busy and stressful for us all at times. Below I have popped my favourite tips below to start the day full of positivity ensuring you can conquer anything the day throws at you.
TIP 1 GET A GOOD NIGHT’S REST
Sleep is one of the biggest factors in ensuring that your body is rested and able to achieve the day ahead. I always find that when I get a good nights rest I definitely feel like that I feel so much more positive in the morning and ready to crack on with the day ahead. I always love a nice relaxing bath before bed and I absolutely adore Neom’s Perfect Night’s Sleep Bath Foam. Follow with a cup of your favourite bedtime tea while reading a good book to help you unwind. Try lighting lavender, jasmine, chamomile, rose or sandalwood scented candles before bed to help relax. My absolute favourite is my Neon Wellbeing Pod Diffuser. Teamed with their Perfect Night’s Sleep Essential Oil its just perfect to pop on a few hours before bedtime.
TIP 2 PLAN YOUR DAY AHEAD
Every single night before I sleep I make sure that whatever I need to do the next day is written down including what time I am going to wake and I allow for all of my jobs. I cannot rest and switch off unless I have made a note of what needs doing. By writing down and planning the day ahead I feel like I can release that from my mind and then the next morning I can pick up that list and get cracking on the things that need doing. You can either write your list in a notebook but I sometimes find it easier to write it in the notes section of my phone. Whichever you prefer I can honestly say this is an absolute must for me every single night.
TIP 3 WAKE UP A BIT EARLIER
Waking up earlier has so many benefits. I know when the alarm goes off it can be a bit of a shock but by waking up early I find that I am not rushing as much. I have the time to get up, get ready, make the bed and make sure I have everything ready before I leave the house. If you wake up and are rushing to work this only leaves you feeling stressed and often forgetting things which just ensures that the whole day can be out of sync.
TIP 4 STAY HYDRATED
This is one tip that I must listen to more to. Getting enough water every day is important for your health. It is recommended that we should drink at least 2 litres a day. A cup of warm lemon water in the morning is a great start to the day. Water allows you to stay hydrated and doesn’t contain unnecessary calories or additives and is vital for our health. It plays a key role in many of our body’s functions, including bringing nutrients to cells, getting rid of wastes, protecting joints and organs, and maintaining body temperature. I have recently purchased a 2 litre gym water bottle from amazon and I find that by filling this up every day I can see how much water I need to consume.
