They say one positive thought in the morning can do wonders for improving one’s outlook all day, and at Labor Solutions, we have to agree. We want to go a step further though and say that a carefully considered morning routine can lay the groundwork for a great day every day.
Start the Day Out Right
All of us at Labor Solutions know that mornings can be tough. However, with a little forethought, you can set yourself up for success by getting the day started with some simple activities to reduce stress.
- Don’t put it off. First of all, stop procrastinating! That is, get your day started the night before by taking a few minutes each evening to make a focused list of what you need to do the next day, getting your clothes ready for the morning, and packing a lunch if you’ll need one.
- Don’t skimp on sleep. Go to bed on time! Stick to a schedule for going to bed and getting up. This allows your body to acclimate to the routine and it will be much easier to rise and shine without hitting that snooze button.
- Get a healthy start. Once you’re up and moving each morning, take a moment to stretch your body to warm up those muscles for the day. Have a healthy breakfast, skip the morning cigarette, and hydrate with water.
- Be productive yet positive. Now that you’re ready to get going, figure out what tasks you handle best first thing in the morning. If you have extra time before leaving for work, maybe washing the dishes could become a form of morning meditation for you. If you dread dishwashing, save it for later and try some other task that helps you feel productive without causing undue stress first thing in the day.
