HOW NOT TO KICKSTART YOUR DAY

 

The title may seem odd because kick start means a positive start. Why not make a positive start?

Here, I talk about things you do by chance, which will never be a kick start; rather, they will be the opposite.

If you want a kick start, avoid these. You are supposed not to do the following things at the start of the day.

Hitting snooze: Going back to sleep can make you groggy and less prepared for the day. 

 Using electronic devices: Checking your phone or TV right away can be a time suck and expose you to harmful rays.  Checking emails or social media before you're ready can make you late for work. 

 Starting your day with negative news: Instead of starting your day with depressing news, try to find positive and uplifting stories. 

 Getting ready in the dark: Your body's internal clock is sensitive to light and darkness, so getting ready in the dark can make you feel groggier.

 Drinking coffee on an empty stomach: Drinking a cup of coffee on an empty stomach increases your tolerance to caffeine which can trigger the release of stress hormones such as cortisol. Having coffee first thing in the morning can make you feel groggier, stressed, and frustrated for the rest of the day.

Skipping breakfast: Skipping breakfast can make you more likely to overeat later in the day. 

 Smoking:  Researchers have found that smoking within 30 minutes of waking up is more dangerous than waiting an hour or more. Smokers who light up first thing are more likely to develop mouth and lung cancer. Skipping your morning cigarette is an important first step to protecting your health.

Alcohol: You should be careful when it comes to any kind of alcoholic beverage first thing in the morning.  if you start needing a drink as soon as you start the day, it may be a sign of addiction.

Other than these not brushing your teeth, twisting your body, and not having a bath all harm you because What you do in the morning can have a big impact on your whole day, including how you feel, how productive you are, and how you handle challenges.

 

So be cautious of what you do as soon as you wake up.
