Everyday when we wake up, we do certain things as a habit that may be hampering us as a person.
These toxic habits make us slow, negative, and well we become grumpy. In turn, our grumpiness rubs off on the people in the house, on our work, and nothing goes well.
So to start with, drop these five toxic morning habits and be ready for a guaranteed energetic day.
Looking at your phone screen
These days, the first thing we do when we wake up is to look at our phone screens. This is the most toxic habit which affects our eyes.
It also makes us less productive. So, instead, wake up, have some warm water, wash your face, stand or sit on the balcony or near the window and breathe in some fresh air.
Keep an hour or two for yourself and then look at the phone, social media, your mails, etc.
Skipping breakfast
Many people have this bad habit of first walking up late and then just having a coffee or tea without eating anything for breakfast.
It is important to eat a healthy breakfast to kick off your day. Have an egg, toast, or oatmeal, some fresh fruits etc.
Procrastinating
Once you are up in the morning, it is important that you plan your day and then work on it accordingly even if it is a Sunday and you want to go shopping.
Don’t delay your plans, it is never fruitful. Water the plants or clean the house, the fridge, if you have time to spare before going out.
Not bathing
The reason why people bathe in the morning before they begin their day is that it makes them feel fresh and gives a boost to the day.
The act of bathing makes our body release feel-good hormones and prepares us with high performing energy.
Negative thoughts
Never think of the negative things in life right when you wake up. Meditate or give yourself a pep talk. Be grateful for the good things you have in life, count on your blessings and be optimistic. One negative thought right in the morning will always be demotivating.
