Morning Mistakes That Wreck Your Whole Day (And How To Fix Them)
🚨 Are you making these 5 morning mistakes? Find out how to fix them and supercharge your whole day! These simple tips are lifesavers! 😎☀️ #MorningMotivation #RiseAndGrind
Winona, Minnesota – Are you sabotaging your day before it even begins? Discover the surprising morning missteps that could be holding you back and learn simple strategies to supercharge your a.m. routine. 🚀☕️
You know, I wasn’t always a morning person (as my hubby Jack will tell you). But now, I love getting up around 4:30 AM every day. I actually find that mornings are when I shine. I’ve done some research and would love to share with you some simple morning life hacks. So, before you hit that snooze button, let’s get in to the article! Hehe.
Rise and Shine: It’s Not About Waking Up Early 🌅
If you’re not a morning person, don’t worry – you’re not alone! Liz Plosser, editor-in-chief of Women’s Health and author of “Own Your Morning,” admits she wasn’t born a morning person either. The key, she says, is making the most of the morning hours you do have, whenever that may be.
Snooze Button Blues 😴
Are you a serial snoozer? Hitting that button multiple times may be doing more harm than good. Plosser suggests being realistic about when you want to wake up and sticking to it. Breaking up your REM sleep with repeated alarms can leave you feeling groggy and unrested.
Alarms That Soothe, Not Startle 🎶
Waking up to a blaring alarm can be a jarring start to your day. Try setting your alarm to a soothing sound, like a favorite song or gentle chimes, to ease you into your morning routine.
This one is a biggie. I switched my morning alarm to my fave Taylor Swift song and I gotta say: there’s really nothing quite as magical as having T-Swizzle sing me out of my slumber. Not sure if Jack agrees, but hey isn’t that what married life is all about?! LOLs.
Prep Like a Pro 🌙
A great morning starts the night before. Lay out your clothes, pack your bag, and plan your breakfast to streamline your a.m. routine. This saves precious brainpower for tackling the day ahead.
Find Your Morning Mojo 💪
What makes you feel your best in the morning? Whether it’s savoring a quiet cup of coffee, journaling, or meditating, Plosser recommends figuring out your personal “power-ups” and making them a non-negotiable part of your routine.
Get Moving (Even Just a Little) 🏃♀️
You don’t have to run a marathon before breakfast, but a little movement goes a long way. A short walk, some gentle stretches, or even a few minutes in a yoga pose can boost your clarity and confidence for the day ahead.
I really enjoy doing yoga while the entire town of Winona, Minnesota is still asleep. It’s so peaceful to hear nothing but the gentle rhythms of Lake Winona and the soft chirps of birds.
The Bottom Line 🌟
Plosser reminds us that not every morning will be perfect, and that’s okay. The goal is to fill yourself up and do what you need to do to survive and thrive, no matter what the day throws your way.
