Sometimes it happens that there is no mood for a good day and even the simplest things seem difficult to accomplish. Work is repulsive, and when such a day ends, there is an incredible relief.
Although bad days are inevitable, having the right mindset in the morning helps you get that state of mind that makes it easier to deal with everyday (and more) challenges. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to set yourself up for a good day.
Get up early
People who are not so-called early risers will obviously not be happy with this method. Although many of the studies carried out cannot lie. They clearly say that people who wake up early in the morning will be much more active throughout the rest of the day.
It's no surprise that the world's most famous entrepreneurs get up early in the morning. Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey gets up at 5:30 a.m. to meditate and go for a run. And Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz gets up another hour early, goes to the gym andgets to work by six in the morning.
Of course, not only entrepreneurs do this, because a good attitude in life in the morning (it will be a good day if you start it right) helps to do more things.
And if you have a habit of putting off your alarm for a few more minutes in the morning, you can put your phone with the alarm on the other side of the room, then you will have to get out of bed anyway, just to turn it off.
Good breakfast
Breakfast should never be missed. It lowers the stress-causing hormone (cortisol) and gives you energy for the rest of the day or at least until lunch.
Breakfast is probably the most important meal of the day, as it affects both physical performance throughout the day and also sets the mood for a good day. If your morning meal is still he althy and nutritious, then it will help reduce your appetite for the whole day and, accordingly, reduce the number of calories you consume.
Eating in the morning also has a serious impact on mental activity and concentration, because if you skip breakfast or have a light snack, the feeling of hunger will prevent you from concentrating normally on business. It greatly increases the likelihood that you will have frequent unhe althy snacks during work hours.
Sleep phases
Everyone knows about the existence of the so-called sleep phases. But how exactly can they help set the mood?on a good day for women or men?
NREM sleep lasts about an hour and a half after falling asleep. She has four stages:
- Snooze. During it, there is a decrease in muscle activity, heart rate and breathing, while the eyes may move slowly.
- Easy sleep. Muscle activity goes down even more, the eyes are already in a stationary state, and consciousness is turned off.
- Slow sleep. Muscle activity is reduced to a minimum.
- Deep slow sleep. During it, a person sees about 80 percent of his dreams, and it is difficult to wake him up at this stage. Sleepwalking attacks in people suffering from this disease also occur at this time. At the same time, a person will not remember all nightmares during deep slow sleep.
Followed by the phase of REM sleep, which lasts fifteen minutes at most. The person is in a completely motionless state, while the eyes make chaotic movements. The most vivid dreams come to a person precisely in this phase, and if you wake him up, then with a high probability he will remember the dream in detail.
When to wake up?
If you wake up a person while he is in the phase of slow sleep, for some time he will be somewhat inhibited and absent-mindedness will appear. To set the mood for a good day, this is not the best option.
On the contrary, REM sleep is considered the best time to get up. And in order to calculate what time it would be best to set an alarm, there are a variety of sleep phase calculators. It is important not to forget that we do not fall asleep at the moment when we go to bed and close our eyes. As a rule, it takes about forty minutes to go to the kingdom of Morpheus. This is also worth considering when setting an alarm.
Sports
Regular exercise can bring many positive effects. Sport can help you shed extra pounds, as well as maintain normal weight, fight bad he alth and mood, as training stimulates a variety of chemical processes in the brain.
A person who goes in for sports, as a rule, is full of energy and self-confidence. The quality of sleep also improves. Morning exercise can help set the mood for a good day and achieve greater focus during work or other activities.
But if you value the hours of morning sleep, you can do sports at any time. In any case, it will help improve well-being, sleep and increase self-confidence. In addition, there are now a huge number of gadgets on the market that will help you optimize your workouts and make them more effective.
