8 small actions in the morning to keep you in good condition for the whole day

Small actions after waking up in the morning can put you in a good state for the whole day. The right behaviors and foods will give you the focus, energy, and appearance to better complete your busy schedule. It can also activate the body's metabolism button, helping the body burn excess calories and break down more fat. Our research-based Wake-Up Routine is designed to give you an energizing morning. Let’s take a look at how to do it below!

1: Use color to add energy

Opening your eyes and seeing bright, vibrant colors gives your body a rush of adrenaline. This sudden energy will help you clear the chaos in your mind and return you to a clear state. Place a red, orange, yellow or purple pillow, blanket or painting within easy reach of your eyes when you open them, or you can choose to wear colorful pajamas. You can even make a colorful and nutritious breakfast. Pour a glass of antioxidant-rich pomegranate or cranberry juice and add a slice of sweet orange.

2: Wake up and see roses

A new study shows that women who woke up to a bouquet of blooming roses felt better and more energetic throughout the day!

3. Get up early and stop taking naps

When you take a nap, your brain knows: OK, I'm going to stop working for the next few minutes - but I'm not going to sleep very deeply, and I'm not going to get a complete rest. This means that waking up after a nap can make you feel more tired than waking up as soon as you open your eyes. Our advice: Set your alarm to the time you actually need to get up. Those few extra minutes of undisturbed sleep will help you rest better and wake up more rested.

4. Think ahead about the day ahead

When you wake up in the morning, close your eyes and imagine yourself being alert and full of energy. We found that when you imagine an action, you activate the part of your brain that actually controls that action. So, visualizing a great day in advance can energize you.

5. Replenish a cup of energy immediately

Drinking a glass of water first thing after getting up in the morning can replenish the water lost in the body during the night and replenish energy instantly. If there is insufficient water in the body, various systems will have difficulty functioning and may cause fatigue and weakness. In fact, if you lose 2% of your body water, you will feel physically and mentally exhausted. A glass of water early in the morning is also the start of your 11 glasses of water a day, which we recommend women drink 11 glasses of water a day to keep their bodies hydrated.

6. Let the Sunshine In

A ray of sunshine in the early morning can make you more awake. Sit in front of a sunny window, pick up a newspaper to read, or go out for some fresh air with a cup of coffee. Sunlight can send signals to the biological clock, instructing the body to stop secreting melatonin, which makes us sleepy, making us more alert. Sunlight also increases levels of serotonin, a mood-enhancing chemical, in the brain.

7: Rub your face when you wake up

Massaging your face can improve blood circulation and make you more alert. Starting from the forehead to the chin, gently rub or press with your fingers, constantly changing the speed, strength and position of the massage until the entire face is massaged. Bonus: These moves will make your face instantly rosy and glowy.

8: Dry wood and raging fire

Moving your body is one of the best ways to avoid feeling sleepy. Sex can increase the levels of some "good hormones" in the body, giving you endurance throughout the day - testosterone; energy - dopamine; and concentration - oxytocin. It really is a great way to start the day.
