5 Things You Should Never Do In The Morning
<p>Doyou find yourself sitting in the evenings contemplating how busy and tiring the day was but you really didn't accomplish much?</p>
<p>You hustle through the day but still, don't seem to get the desired outcome. it’s likely because you’re spending the majority of your time on the wrong things.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“How you spend your morning can often tell you what kind of day you are going to have.” — Daniel Handler</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It’s usually the first 3 hrs of your mornings that decide the quality of the rest of your day. If you spend your morning doing the wrong things, you’ll likely lack the energy, motivation, and willpower to do the right things throughout the rest of your day.</p>
<h2>1. Scrolling your phone —</h2>
<p>Do you find it irresistible to go through all the messages and emails? well, you’re not alone. Most of us sleep with our phones next to us. Do you even realize the unconscious action you took a few months or years back has now become a habit? The moment you wake up and start exposing yourself to all sorts of gossip, news, and media has adverse impacts on your mind, especially right after waking up.</p>
<p><strong>What to do instead</strong>-</p>
<p>Try keeping your phone in another room or not close enough for you to grab it as soon as you wake up. You can also, buy a separate alarm clock for yourself.</p>
<p>I usually start my mornings by reading a few pages of a book or journaling. I have recently picked up this habit of journalling in the morning. It’s been over a month now.</p>
<p>See what works best for you. start your day with a short prayer or meditation. or even doing nothing just allowing yourself to be in the moment. This allows you to start your day slowly and intentionally.</p>
<h2>2. Getting a caffeine kick as soon as you wake up</h2>
<p>Most people think they can't get anything done without a cup of coffee. Studies reveal the damaging effect coffee/tea can have on your body. It might give you that instant alertness and energy but you’ll find yourself tired and jittery after a few hours.</p>
