8 Morning Habits That Ruin Your Day
Have you noticed that very often your day is not set in the morning? You will learn how to "get off that foot" and not let anything or anyone spoil your day from this article.
Setting yourself the right pace at the beginning of the day is very important. Unfortunately, many people deliberately do things that prevent them from having a good and useful day. Today we will talk about the most common such habits and ways to deal with them.
Breakfast for many of us is often limited to just a cup of tea and scrambled eggs. But we forget that our breakfast should be dense: we should not feel hungry before lunch, and we should not interrupt our appetite with harmful snacks.
Eat breakfast yourself, share lunch with a friend, and give dinner to the enemy.
If you are on a diet and dream of a piece of a very high-calorie cake, then in the morning you can afford it: there is a high probability that during the day you will use up all the morning calories.
So let your breakfast consist of healthy, but at the same time satisfying foods.
This is one of the most disgusting habits that you need to get rid of as soon as possible. If you wake up and the first thing you do is rush to check your email, then this can make you feel stressed throughout the day. You are constantly nervous, checking messages, afraid of missing something important, and this is already becoming an obsession.
Instead of starting your day with hectic checks of your mail and all social networks, do something that will help you calm down. Exercise, go for a run, have a cup of tea or talk to a loved one.
Believe me, this will help increase your productivity, you will feel much better, and it will pay off in full at work.
...and from the very morning you begin to live not your own, but someone else's life. You get a charge of negativity that will be with you throughout the day.
Think about it, there are only 24 hours in your day. Instead of constantly monitoring the box like a hypnotized person, it's better to spend an extra 20 minutes sleeping.
And if it is so important for you to be aware of all the news, then look for information on the Internet or chat with colleagues during lunch. But do not forget to treat the information received critically: never trust only one source, turn to different points of view, compare, learn to separate the wheat from the chaff.
The evil neighbor from below, whom you met so inopportunely in the morning, starts scolding you again for playing too loud music in the evening. And the neighbors from above at 5 in the morning begin to loudly clarify their relationship. Swearing janitor in the yard. There are countless queues at the store, and all you need to buy is yogurt. Stuffy public transport, in which there is a feeling that all people hate each other…
Don't be a part of this general annoyance. Put yourself above this daily universal negativity. Think about the good, do not succumb to provocations, and no queue or angry neighbor will be able to spoil your day.
... and when you get home in the evening, you see THIS: dirty dishes, breakfast leftovers on the table, things scattered around the house, change that fell out of your jeans pocket, an unmade bed, a bag of garbage that you never had time to throw out in the morning…
It is unlikely that such a picture will be conducive to spending a good evening with friends or just sitting in a chair with a good book.
Wake up early and get ready normally — this way you will not only accidentally forget something you need, but also, when you return home, you will feel comfortable.
And you can be understood. If you work from 9:00 to 17:00, then in order to get to work, you need to wake up at 7 o'clock in the morning. It is clear that on your legitimate weekends you allow yourself to lie in bed longer.
But what happens after you wake up at one o'clock in the afternoon? You will have a terrible headache, and you will also be haunted by the feeling that you have spent the day in vain.
Of course, waking up at 7 a.m. on weekends is not worth it, but at 9-10 o'clock is already better. If you are still an incorrigible dormouse, then you can arrange a quiet hour and just sleep for a couple of hours in the afternoon. So you will feel cheerful, and your day will not go down the drain.
Coffee is the favorite morning drink of millions of people. Many literally can't wake up if they don't drink a cup of fragrant drink. But do not forget that if you drink coffee on an empty stomach, it can lead to gastritis.
That the salary is still a week away, and we have already spent all the money. That in two days you will have to deal with the hated monthly report again. And so on and so forth.
Don't start your day with such thoughts. The fact that you will exhaust yourself will not make it easier for you. Start the day with positive thoughts or just with your favorite music that can improve your mood.
