Wow!
It's 8 o'clock already?
Well good morning everyone, how y'all doing this morning?
Well as you see I am all ready to face this wonderful day.
But you know what there used to be a time when I used to just go off to sleep again
or I used to check my phone for Facebook, for Instagram or WhatsApp messages but now
it's so much different like I literally kick start my day with few things.
I've now realized that the way I start my day sets the tone for how productive or how
positive the entire day will be so as a habit I decided to do eight things in the first
ten minutes of the day and that's what I'm going to share them with you today.
Trust me guys that these eight things has really helped me to kick start my day in the
right way.
So stay tuned with me I am Niharika and this morning I am gonna help you to kick start
your day wonderfully.
Well the first thing is “don't hit that snooze button”.
Well a lot of you aren't going to like me too much when I say don't hit the snooze button
of your alarm because well I believe that if you do that you're gonna go ahead and sleep
some more.
Now every time you do that you end up waking up a lot rather than the way you have planned
to start your day.
So you might wake up say 30 or even 40 minutes late.
So we all know that you know it is really stressful to be late because your work is
completely dependent on the way you start your day.
So do yourself a favor please try, no matter how cold it is or beautiful morning or lazy
morning it is, it's time for you to wake up, get on to your feet as soon as possible, let
that alarm go off and you should be up.
You will eventually be really glad that you do that.
Here's the next one “ditch the phone”.
All you know that mobile phones play a vital part of our lives these days, you wake up
and there you go okay who commented, who has liked my picture, oh wow I have two new followers…
Don't do that well do you know a phone screen is not the best thing for your eyes as soon
as you wake up.
I mean you can use the phone later on but the moment you wake up, you open your eyes
and you look at that bright screen it's not a good thing.
Let's face it, not getting up, regular work updates on your phone definitely reduces the
stress.
Imagine you wake up and there are like ten emails from your boss and you're like, “oh!
I am going to have such an awful day, oh, I don't want to go to work.”
That's the negative thought that you get.
So avoid looking at your screen the first thing in the morning.
Well here's the next thing, “make the bed”.
What, it sounds funny?
Well I watched this amazing speech by someone the other day on YouTube and it was about
the importance of making our beds as soon as we wake up.
In fact in that speech he boldly declares that if we want to change the world well we
must start by making our beds early in the morning when you wake up.
Now that kind of sounds funny but guess what?
Well the truth is that when we make our beds like in the first thing in the morning, well
trust me it's like you have achieved something really important yes so it's like an accomplishment
and any accomplishment be it big or small well it just sets the right mood to accomplish
the bigger things in your entire day.
So well after that speech the first thing that I made a habit is to wake up and then
make my bed every single morning.
Well here's the next thing “drink water”.
You wake up in the morning and you drink water.
Well it is proven that drinking a liter of water early in the morning reduces the risk
of heart attacks well yes it also detoxifies your entire system.
Well we could all do with better health, right?
So instead of having that first cup of coffee to energize yourself or probably tea, well
do something for your wonderful body.
Go drink at least a liter of water.
Well the next thing that really kick starts my day is the “natural light”.
Yeah!
Like when you wake up I don't need these lights, I need some natural light, I need the happy
Sun.
Because the sunlight early in the morning really makes you happy, apart from prepping
my mood it is also meant to be healthy for the bones and my skin yes you have spent the
entire night perhaps your late evening as well inside the house and under artificial
lights now head outdoors in the morning to experience the warmth of the Sun for your
body so if you don't want to step out of your home well just open the windows yes your eyes
will light up, your skin will glow and you will feel like you're on the top of the world.
So instead of going back to sleep or hitting that snooze button, well get up push back
those curtains and get some amazing sunlight.
Now what do you do if it's a dark wintry morning?
Well what you can do is you can go out and take a small short walk.
Well get as much light as possible.
Healthy bones and beautiful skin, yeah!
The reason is sunlight.
So keep that in mind and have a wonderful day.
Well here's the next thing “stretch”.
Yeah!
Well I have made it a habit to engage in some light exercises early in the morning so I
either stretch for a bit or I might just do a few push-ups or anything that makes me feel
fresh and active first thing in the morning.
It's also a good idea to engage in some physical activity through exercise or through yoga
because this improves the blood flow in your body.
So time for you to either stretch or do some light exercise, go for a morning walk or do
some yoga.
Well here's the next one “create positivity”.
I believe that words are more powerful than thoughts.
Now if you still feel stressed about last night are certain issues you are facing, it's
time for you to talk to yourself forget yesterday and focus on today.
You may have a negative thought but just tell yourself that hey I am going to get over this
or just tell yourself that wow this is a new day and I will do better.
Now when you really talk to yourself and motivate yourself you are creating an air of positivity
and as soon as you wake up you feel great and trust me you will carry this attitude
throughout today.
Here’s the next one “think of the good”.
Now I know that not all things really excite us in equal amounts some things just bore
us and some other things like super fun and super exciting and then there are things that
really annoy you to no end so as soon as we wake up we must filter our thoughts.
We must think of things that we are really grateful about.
So be it your job be it your parents be it your friends just be grateful and this will
make you happy.
Now for example I am a big foodie so just the thought of going for a nice buffet meal
you know during the day for my lunch, that's what I look forward to.
So what is yours what are you excited about when you start your day with exciting thoughts
it really works.
So thank you everyone for watching this session with me, well I hope this lesson really inspires
you to change your normal routine in the mornings, yes if you stick to these lovely habits trust
me you are gonna have a wonderful day ahead.
So next time your alarm goes off you promise that you're not gonna hit that snooze button,
right?
So tell me how these things will really help you out, do comment and I will be back with
more sessions for you till then keep watching, keep smiling and have a wonderful day ahead.
